Ecosystem Apps
Ecosystem Apps is a suite of publicly available programs which add many features at no cost. To get full functionality from our Repetrel software, this suite must be installed directly at C:\
Some of them you might use individually to create or modify models. Others, like Slic3r, are required, and will 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/repetrel/EcosystemApps.exe - see table below for the list of programs and their proper locations.
- Run the executable, with the location pointed to
C:
Settings
In 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. This info also on the Settings page.
