| === Installing Repetrel ===
| |
| | |
| # Download http://hyrel3d.net/downloads/repetrel/Repetrel_2.855_2017.rar (as of 1 Mar 2017). This contains:

| ==== Upgrading the Binaries ('''bin folder''') Only ==== | |
| | |
| Note: Only valid when upgrading within the SAME main number (v2.x, or v3.x, or v4.x).
| |
| | |

| |
| # Rename the '''bin''' directory to bin_(old_version_number)
| |
| # Download the current '''bin''' folder.
| |
| # Extract using [https://rarlab.com/download.htm WinRAR]

| | |
| === Flashing Firmware ===
| |
| | |
| 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
| |
| | |

| |
| | |
| Video instructions for flashing the 407 Motion Controller: https://youtu.be/cFAFRkpLmww
| |
| | |
| '''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 ====
| |
| | |
| '''''<span style="color: red;">Please note that equipment shipped since early 2015 should only require these three four:</span>'''''
| |
| | |
| _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

| |
| | |
| |}
| |
| | |
| 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.

| |
| | |
| 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. Others might be called from Repetrel to manipulate a file. This install should all be carried out per the instructions below, so that Repetrel will find them in the expected locations.
| |
| | |
| === Installing Ecosystem Apps ===
| |
| | |
| # Download http://www.hyrel3d.net/downloads/updater/EcosystemApps.exe - see table below for the list of programs and their proper locations.
| |
| # Run the executable, with the location pointed to C:
| |
| # Launch Repetrel, go to the Programs tab, and double click in each text field, pointing the applications to their respective executable files under C:/EcosystemApps. See the table below for the proper locations. Note the new location for the Slic3r install; Slic3r Recipes (or Slic3r CFG files) should still be under C:\Users\Hyrel\AppData\Roaming\Slic3r.
