Repetrel Download

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 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.

A video giving a quick overview is available at: https://youtu.be/VMyS3h4qiSA

A video showing the actual upgrade process is available at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n4QwiuQtjO0

On new (clean) installs, you MUST run Slic3r.exe BEFORE launching Repetrel. Exit the default settings too, then open the Preferences menu and configure Slic3r to run in expert mode, then exit.

1. Download the file linked above (green button). This contains:
   1. Repetrel
   2. Motion Controller firmware
   3. 103 PH/HB and other Controller firmware (see Firmware for compatibilities)
2. Extract the contents - actually drag the new repetrel folder to your desktop
3. Rename previous C:/repetrel to C:/repetrel.old (or similar)
4. Move your extracted repetrel directory to C:/repetrel

Software upgrade complete. Occasionally a user will have to point existing shortcuts to the new executible, C:/repetrel/bin/repetrel.exe

NOTE: Repetrel must be set to a rate of 38400 bps to connect to the motion controller!

4 > 4 Upgrade Only

If you already have a Version 4 install, and just want to upgrade to the latest, then you don't need the entire Repetrel directory; rename your old bin directory to... bin.old, download the new bin directory linked above (green button), and put the new one under C:\repetrel\

Note, any upgrade should include upgrading your firmware, always on the motion controller and frequently on the accessories (heads and beds). See Firmware.
