Repetier Tutorial

Repetier is a program that is used to control 3D printers, position parts on a 3D printer, runs G-Code, and uses an outside program called Slic3r. This program alone could replace commonly used programs such as Replicator G.

Getting Started

This first thing to do is down load the program, which can be done on this link [ here]. There are a few things to know before downloading the program. First of all, the program is made for three operating systems, Linux, Windows, and Mac. Windows and Mac require installation, which is simple enough to complete. If you can't install the program on the computer you are using, you can download the Linux version which is a folder of the files. In this folder, there is an executable file that at the very least can be run on windows. You must follow these steps however in order for this to work:

    1. Download the file.
    2. Open the Slic3r folder inside of the Repetier folder
    3. If you have Slic3r, open that folder now 
    4. Delete everything in the Slic3r folder inside of Repetier
    5. Copy all the files from the Slic3r
