After you have completed steps 1-3, this page is step 4.1., the Repetrel download.


Go to https://www.rarlab.com/download.htm and install the latest WinRAR to extract our archives.

The Repetrel download will install the Repetrel software (the latest v4 version) as well as the 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. This install must be carried out per the instructions below, so that Repetrel and its dependent resources will be found in the expected locations.


Ecosystem Apps is a suite of publicly available programs which add many features at no cost. Some of them you might use individually to create or modify models.
