We do encourage all users to be on the latest release. You are welcome to remain on older versions, but we will only be able to provide limited support (and no bug fixes) to older versions. Please consider upgrading to the latest version.


Here are instructions for uploading the latest Repetrel software and associated applications (EcoSystem Apps):
'''NOTE: Our environment is intended to be run by the ''HYREL'' user in the operating system, with FULL ADMINISTRATOR rights and privileges, on a windows device running in American English as the native language. If you vary from this, results may be unpredictable.'''


== '''Repetrel''' [[File:Download_button.png|150px|link=http://hyrel3d.net/downloads/repetrel/Repetrel_2.855_2017.rar]] ==
<span style="color: red;">'''''Please note that version 4 and above require a ($250) license key to operate - see [[Licensing]] for details.'''''</span>


* As of 01 Mar 2017, the latest v2.x full version is [http://hyrel3d.net/downloads/repetrel/Repetrel_2.855_2017.rar 2.855]
<span style="color: red;">'''''Please note that you should ensure that your ST-Link is working before you attempt this upgrade.'''''</span>


The Repetrel download will install the Repetrel software (release 2.855) as well as the firmware for your 407 Motion Controller and your 103 Print Head and Hot Bed Controllers. This install must be carried out per the instructions below, so that Repetrel and its dependent resources will be found in the expected locations.
<span style="color: red;">'''''Please note that if you cannot perform the upgrade yourself, we charge a $100 service fee to help.'''''</span>

== '''Repetrel Update''' [[File:Download_button.png|150px|link=http://hyrel3d.com/updates/Repetrel_Installer_4.2.474_light.exe]] ==


New software will often require new firmware. The latest firmware as of 1 Mar 2017 is part of the Repetrel download, above. However, if you only need to upgrade your firmware, download from: http://hyrel3d.net/downloads/firmware/Firmware_2017.05.10.rar
This download ONLY includes the latest (see above) C:\Repetrel\bin directory, including software and firmware for your 407 (30M, ESR) or 429 (16A, EHR) Motion Controller, your 103 Print Head and Hot Bed Controllers, and controllers for the CO2 laser, 3-phase spindle tool, and extra axes.

Download the file and run it as Administrator.


Video instructions for flashing the 407 Motion Controller: https://youtu.be/cFAFRkpLmww
This should only be run as an update to an already functioning Repetrel v4.x install.


'''Clench Valves''' require the primary head to have firmware [http://hyrel3d.net/downloads/firmware/CVFW-35K-49V.rar 49V] installed, so that the clench valve is activated (instead of primes/unprimes). Download and flash per instructions above.

==== Firmware Versions ====
== After Repetrel ==


'''''<span style="color: red;">Please note that equipment shipped since early 2015 should only require these three four:</span>'''''
Please proceed to steps 5-8 to complete your install or upgrade.
 
_FILAMENTS_33A.hex - for all MK-series heads <= OR _FIL_250_PLAT_1A.hex - both should provide the same functionality.
_TUBES_35.hex - for all emulsion heads
_LASER_234.hex - for the 808nm and 450nm lasers
_DrillMill_2.3.hex - for the ST1 spindle tool (single phase)
_hydra407rev2.415.dfu - for the STM407 motion controller
 
'''''<span style="color: red;">Older equipment may require older firmware as follows:</span>'''''
 
Most likely, your older MK1-250 heads, with RED RTDs, take:
 
_FIL_250_RED_235A.hex
 
Additionally, the following may apply:
 
First, determine if your STM103 board is a legacy board (with a jumper, circa 2014), or a standard, current board (without a jumper):
 
[[File:103.old.jpg|300px]] [[File:103.new.jpg|300px]]
 
If your 103 board (printhead or hotbed controller) HAS a jumper, you will use the following:
 
{| border="1" class="wikitable" style="text-align: center; width: 60%;"
! style="width: 50%"| File Name
! style="width: 50%"| swVersion
|-
| style="color: red;" | OLD_JUMPERS_232J.hex
| style="color: red;" | 232J
|}
 
The vast majority of 103 boards do NOT have jumpers. To determine if you require firmware for new, sliver RTDs or older, red RTDs, consult these images:
 
[[File:rtds.jpg|600px]]
 
First check to see if your component has an RTD for temperature control - and if it does, is it red or silver (platinum). Then consult the following table:
 
{| border="1" class="wikitable" style="text-align: center"
|+ Current PrintHead and HotBed Controller Firmware Versions
! style="width: 20%"| Controller
! style="width: 20%" | File Name

|-
! style="color: blue;" | SILVER RTD: <br> KRA, KCD
| style="color: blue;" | KRA_35.hex
| style="color: blue;" | 35K
 
|}
 
Please note that the legacy boards with jumpers have not shipped since mid 2014, so most people will never encounter them.
 
=== Installing Drivers ===
 
If, for some reason, you re-OSed or re-imaged your PC, or are installing on a new PC (or your local IT people made some changes preventing you from connecting to the printer), you will need to ensure that the proper drivers are in place. AFTER you have done the install above:
 
1. Run: '''C:\repetrel\ST-LINK Utility\Windows 8 Compatibility Resolver.bat'''
 
2. Right-Click and RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR: '''C:\repetrel\DfuSe\Driver\dpinst_x86.exe''' (or other appropriate file if on another architecture); Click to ALLOW this program to run.
 
Now, in Devices and Printers, you should see the '''FT232R USB UART''' without any alert icon. Congratulations!
 
=== Installing on Another Computer ===
 
We run the current Repetrel on Windows 7, 8 and 10 on both Intel and AMD processors; however, you may not be able to run the printer from every unique environment possible. Please know that we cannot help troubleshoot every unique environment - this is why we include a full Tablet PC with each printer. These instructions work for most external installs:
 
# Install Repetrel, as above (no old folder to rename).
# Install Drivers, as above.
# Install Ecosystem Apps, as below.
# Navigate to C:\EcosystemApps\Slic3r\slic3r.exe and execute it from the windows browser BEFORE LAUNCHING Repetrel.
## Go to File > Preferences and set the Mode to Expert, check all four boxes, and click OK. Then close Slic3r and launch Repetrel.

Latest revision as of 11:59, 19 August 2021

We do encourage all users to be on the latest release. You are welcome to remain on older versions, but we will only be able to provide limited support (and no bug fixes) to older versions. Please consider upgrading to the latest version.

NOTE: Our environment is intended to be run by the HYREL user in the operating system, with FULL ADMINISTRATOR rights and privileges, on a windows device running in American English as the native language. If you vary from this, results may be unpredictable.

Please note that version 4 and above require a ($250) license key to operate - see Licensing for details.

Please note that you should ensure that your ST-Link is working before you attempt this upgrade.

Please note that if you cannot perform the upgrade yourself, we charge a $100 service fee to help.
