Ecosystem Apps is a suite of publicly available programs which add many features at no cost. Some of them you might use individually to create or modify models. Others might 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.

Please complete as many of these steps (in this order) as possible:
  
−
# Download http://www.hyrel3d.net/downloads/updater/EcosystemApps.exe - see table below for the list of programs and their proper locations.
+
# Connect Repetrel to the printer with your current setup (old computer/tablet).
−
# Run the executable, with the location pointed to C:
+
# Go to Settings > Printer and click "Save Settings To File".
−
# Launch 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.

# Move that file to your new computer/tablet.

# Disconnect the old computer/tablet.

# Connect (USB cable) the new computer/tablet.

Latest revision as of 16:32, 23 April 2026

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.

Save Your Settings!

Please complete as many of these steps (in this order) as possible:

  1. Connect Repetrel to the printer with your current setup (old computer/tablet).
  2. Go to Settings > Printer and click "Save Settings To File".
  3. Move that file to your new computer/tablet.
  4. Disconnect the old computer/tablet.
  5. Connect (USB cable) the new computer/tablet.
  6. Install the latest repetrel from [[1]]
  7. Launch Repetrel and connect to the printer.
  8. Go to Settings > Printer and click "Load Settings from File", navigate to that saved settings file, and then click "Apply", and then click "Flash Motion Settings".

You should be all set to operate your printer from the new computer/tablet.

Steps below are for OLDER models (2010s).

Current Version to download: 4.2.603

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.
