VERSION 3 IS NOT YET AVAILABLE TO THE MASSES.

If you need to upgrade to fix a bug, or are an adventurous soul, feel free to proceed.

If you have a functioning install, which does everything you need, please hold off on doing any upgrade just yet. New versions come out about daily right now. :)

This page has instructions for installing the latest Repetrel software and associated applications, drivers, and environment on a new Windows platform, or over an older install.

These steps should each be done in order, and run as administrator.

Install Ecosystem Apps

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.

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.

EcosystemApps Locations
Program Name	Executable Location
Slic3r EXE	C:\EcosystemApps\Slic3r\slic3r.exe
Slic3r CFG	C:\Users\Hyrel\AppData\Roaming\Slic3r
OpenSCAD	C:\EcosystemApps\OpenSCAD\openscad.exe
FreeCAD	C:\EcosystemApps\FreeCAD 0.15\bin\FreeCAD.exe
MeshLab	C:\EcosystemApps\VCG\MeshLab\meshlab_32.exe
FlatCAM	C:\EcosystemApps\FlatCAM\FlatCAM.exe
QCAD	C:\EcosystemApps\QCAD\qcad.exe
TeamViewer	C:\EcosystemApps\TeamViewer\Version9\TeamViewer.exe
InkScape	C:\EcosystemApps\inkscape\inkscape.exe
GIMP	C:\EcosystemApps\GIMP 2\bin\gimp-2.8.exe

Install Repetrel

This installs the current Repetrel directory, with Repetrel 3.081_D with firmware 3.081g. Just uncompress the file and place it at C:.

Your path to Repetrel.exe should be: C:\Repetrel\bin\Repetrel.exe (capitalization may differ).

Next, navigate to C:\Repetrel\bin\_RUN_ME_ON_NEW_INSTALL and execute each numbered file AS ADMINSTRATOR, IN ORDER:

1.Windows 8 Compatibility Resolver.bat
2.dpinst_amd64.exe
3.dpinst_x86.exe

6.VCP_V1.3.1_Setup.exe
7.vcredist_ia64.exe

9.vcredist_x86.exe

Configure Slic3r

Launch Slicer.exe
Go to File > Preferences
Select Expert mode and click OK.
Exit Slicer

-== '''Preliminary Steps''' ==
-* Save any files that you want to keep, especially gcode and stl files. Recipes will be saved.
-* This includes your Printer Settings file:
-** For a new install, ignore this.
-** For a 2>3 upgrade, ignore this.
-** For a 3>3 upgrade, go to Settings > Printer and save your configuration to a file with a name unique to your environment (example: Acme_Lab_West), so that we can easily find it later. Save a copy of this file to your desktop for now.
