In brief:
0. Overview
1. WinRAR

After you have completed steps 1-3, this page is step 4, the Repetrel download.

This install must be carried out per the instructions below, so that Repetrel and its dependent resources will be found in the expected locations.

On new (clean) installs, you MUST run Slic3r.exe BEFORE launching Repetrel. Configure it to run in expert mode, then exit.
