| + | === v1 === |
| | | | |
| − | _FILAMENTS_33A.hex - for all MK-series heads <= OR _FIL_250_PLAT_1A.hex - both should provide the same functionality.
| + | For version 1.85, please visit [[1_Install]] |

| − | Additionally, the following may apply:
| + | For version 3.083_K, please visit [[3_Install]]. |
| | | | |
| − | First, determine if your STM103 board is a legacy board (with a jumper, circa 2014), or a standard, current board (without a jumper):

| | | | |
| − | [[File:103.old.jpg|300px]] [[File:103.new.jpg|300px]]
| + | Please proceed to steps at [[Firmware]], [[Settings]], and [[Licensing]] to complete your install or upgrade. |
| − | | |
| − | If your 103 board (printhead or hotbed controller) HAS a jumper, you will use the following:

| − | | |
| − | The vast majority of 103 boards do NOT have jumpers. To determine if you require firmware for new, sliver RTDs or older, red RTDs, consult these images:

| − | === Installing Drivers ===
| |
| − | | |
| − | If, for some reason, you re-OSed or re-imaged your PC, or are installing on a new PC (or your local IT people made some changes preventing you from connecting to the printer), you will need to ensure that the proper drivers are in place. AFTER you have done the install above:
| |
| − | | |
| − | 1. Run: '''C:\repetrel\ST-LINK Utility\Windows 8 Compatibility Resolver.bat'''
| |
| − | | |
| − | 2. Right-Click and RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR: '''C:\repetrel\DfuSe\Driver\dpinst_x86.exe''' (or other appropriate file if on another architecture); Click to ALLOW this program to run.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Now, in Devices and Printers, you should see the '''FT232R USB UART''' without any alert icon. Congratulations!
| |
| − | | |
| − | === Installing on Another Computer ===
| |
| − | | |
| − | We run the current Repetrel on Windows 7, 8 and 10 on both Intel and AMD processors; however, you may not be able to run the printer from every unique environment possible. Please know that we cannot help troubleshoot every unique environment - this is why we include a full Tablet PC with each printer. These instructions work for most external installs:
| |
| − | | |
| − | # Install Repetrel, as above (no old folder to rename).
| |
| − | # Install Drivers, as above.
| |
| − | # Install Ecosystem Apps, as below.
| |
| − | # Navigate to C:\EcosystemApps\Slic3r\slic3r.exe and execute it from the windows browser BEFORE LAUNCHING Repetrel.
| |
| − | ## Go to File > Preferences and set the Mode to Expert, check all four boxes, and click OK. Then close Slic3r and launch Repetrel.

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.
Please note that 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 English as the native language. If you vary from this, results may be unpredictable.
Please note that version 4 and above require a ($250) 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.
Please note that if you are installing on another computer, you should read the Installing_Elsewhere page.
Upgrade Overview
The new Repetrel installer will also install the prerequisites, so the process is:
In brief:
1. Software (you are here now)
2. Firmware on Motion Controller as well as head/bed controllers
3. Settings on Motion Controller as well as head/bed controllers
4. Licensing if you were not already on v4.
Current Version to download: 4.2.603
There are always minor enhancements and bugfixes, so please use the latest, linked below.
The current version is recommended for all users:
- Repetrel Program 4.2.603 - a new version is due out in April, please check back.
- Motion Controller Firmware 4.203c
- Head/Bed Firmware 103_4.053c
To find out what version of Repetrel Software you are on now:
Install This
Honestly, just use the full installer every time. There are some cases where it's not needed, but it's never a bad thing to do.
NOTE: Davo recommends saving your old repetrel folder as repetrel_(version) before doing ANY upgrade.
