'''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 ====
As of May, 2018, the following versions should be used for Repetrel versions 2.x and 3.x:
Use '''_TUBES_35K.hex''' :
* For all emulsion heads performing prime/unprime actions.
* For all emulsion heads with COD LED activity on constantly.
Use '''_TUBES_49V.hex''' :
* For all emulsion heads using Clench Valves instead of prime/unprime actions.
* For all emulsion heads using COD LED activity tied to printing moves only.
Use '''_FIL_250_PLAT_1A.hex''' :
* For MK1-250 and MK2-250 heads.
* For heated emulsions heads which don't seem to reach max temperature.
Use '''_FIL_450_45A.hex''' :
* For MK1-450 heads.
Use '''_FIL_250_RED_235A.hex''' :
* For older MK1-250 heads with '''RED''' RTDs.
Use '''_INKJET_6E.hex''' :
* For Inkjet heads.
Use '''_DrillMill_2.3.hex''' :
* For Spindle Tools.
Use '''_LASER_R2_234.hex''' :
* For any Lasers running on Repetrel 2.x.
Use '''_LASER_R3_PWM_6L.hex''' :

Firmware Download button.png

Versions 2.415 and 33/35, * with Spindle Tool firmware, as of 10 May 2017

New software will often require new firmware. New software packages always come with the latest firmware at the time the software was released; however, sometimes newer firmware is available.

There are two families of firmware; one for the heads, or STM-103 boards, and another for the motion controllers, or STM-427 / STM-407 boards.

Print Head / Hot Bed Firmware

For the STM-103 Boards.

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:

  1. Install Repetrel, as above (no old folder to rename).
  2. Install Drivers, as above.
  3. Install Ecosystem Apps, as below.
  4. Navigate to C:\EcosystemApps\Slic3r\slic3r.exe and execute it from the windows browser BEFORE LAUNCHING Repetrel.
    1. Go to File > Preferences and set the Mode to Expert, check all four boxes, and click OK. Then close Slic3r and launch Repetrel.

My Unit Shipped with a Tablet

1. Don't worry about ever powering up the tablet - you can remove it. We just want the 3.3v, 5v and 12v power and USB connectivity to the spine and beyond.

2. Install the software as shown at Repetrel above, and Ecosystem Apps below.

3. Install the drivers as shown at Drivers above.

4. Unplug the cables for the tablet USB connectivity and install PC Jumpers as shown:

USB: Tablet Interface Board Changes for USBB Control

See the video.

5. Run a USB A to B cable from your PC to the USB-B port on the left side of the Printer:

USB: Left side of Printer

My Unit Shipped with a Motherboard

1. Don't worry about ever powering up the motherboard. We just want the 3.3v, 5v and 12v power to the spine and beyond.

2. Install the software as shown at Repetrel above, and Ecosystem Apps below.

3. Install the drivers as shown at Drivers above.

4. Run a USB to MiniUSB cable from your PC to the MiniUSB port on the right side of the Spine:

USB: Lower Right Spine

5. Run a USB to MiniUSB cable from your PC to the MiniUSB port on the top, inside of the Spine:

USB: Top Inside Spine
