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

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.
