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.
- Download the file linked above (green button). This contains:
- Repetrel
- Motion Controller firmware
- 103 PH/HB and other Controller firmware (see Firmware for compatibilities)
- Extract the contents - actually drag the new repetrel folder to your desktop
- Rename previous C:/repetrel to C:/repetrel.old (or similar)
- 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, 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.
After Repetrel
Please proceed to steps 5-8 to complete your install or upgrade.
