Printing Gcode with Repetier

Hey, so I have been printing with my Makergear for awhile now and printing objects that I have designed on Solidworks. Now I have been working with writing my own gcodes and I know they are correct because at my university the head of our printing lab has helped with the editing and checked and everything work fine, however I'm not sure how to get it to work with Repetier. I load my gcode but when I go to print it does nothing. Is there something I am missing or different steps that need to be taken to run a manual gcode? thanks in advance

What happens when you feed the sequence to
http://gcode.ws/? If that doesn't show the expected motions, then the commands may not be doing what you expect.
Repetier seems a savagely complex beast to tame, just to feed manual G-Code programs to the printer. Pronterface / Printrun (
https://github.com/kliment/Printrun) introduces fewer complexities: mostly, all it does is drip-feed G-Code through the USB connection to Marlin in the printer.
What are you doing with the printer by hand, other than printing?
