Replath is still very much in development at the moment so hopefully this guide will show you how to use replath and a RepRap machine to make a PCB.
Installing the Software
Download and install pyRepRap - pyRepRap and Replath.
Getting a Gerber File
You will need a gerber file to use with replath. I make mine with KiCAD.
Starting Replath
Set preferences here
Start replath either from the graphics menu or run replath from a terminal. Click open and find your gerber file. You will be asked to choose between area fill and isolation traces. For this example, choose area fill. The gerber should be displayed on screen. You can drag the diagram around using the left mouse button and zoom with the wheel.
Configure
Set output to 'Serial SNAP RepRap' and toolhead to 'Pen'
Pen setup here
