Quick tip to anyone using remote desktop to push slicing to a windows machine.

Quick tip to anyone using remote desktop to push slicing to a windows machine. Your graphics card will not be recognized by default (something about remote graphics rendering). You can force the program to launch locally through a bat scrip, the script will close your remote desktop session then launch the program when you are logged off. the script can be written as below.

tscon 1 /dest:console
start “” “C:\Program Files\Repetier-Host\RepetierHost.exe”

Save that as a bat file and you can do remote slicing/cad work using your local graphics card. I hope this isn’t a repost. (i know many of you are linux users, but i was too lazy to maintain linux on the number of machines i run)

Note you have to run the script as an administrator
