Repetier

Repetier is a suite of software tools designed to enhance the 3D printing experience, offering comprehensive solutions for both printer control and firmware management.

Repetier-Host:

Repetier-Host is a versatile application that allows users to manage and control 3D printers with ease. It supports various filament types, including PLA, ABS, PETG, and even unconventional materials like chocolate or metal, provided the printer hardware is compatible. Notably, biotech companies have utilized Repetier-Host for organ printing.

Key Features:

Object Placement: Users can import multiple 3D models, adjusting their position, scale, rotation, or duplication on the virtual print bed.

Slicing Integration: Repetier-Host includes four slicers—Slic3r, Slic3r Prusa Edition, CuraEngine, and Skeinforge—and allows integration with other slicers, offering flexibility in preparing models for printing.

G-code Visualization: After slicing, users can preview extruder movements and support structures, enabling the identification of potential issues before printing.

Multi-Extruder Support: The software can handle up to 16 extruders with different filament types and colors simultaneously, providing a visual representation of the final print.

Manual Control: Repetier-Host offers manual control over printer functions, including temperature settings, movement commands, and more.

Repetier-Server:

Repetier-Server is designed for remote management and monitoring of 3D printers, allowing users to control multiple printers from any location via a web interface.

Key Features:

Remote Access: Users can manage print jobs, monitor progress, and receive status updates remotely, enhancing convenience and efficiency.

G-code Preview and Slicing: The server supports G-code previewing and slicing, enabling users to prepare prints directly within the platform.

Smart Home Integration: Repetier-Server is compatible with smart home systems such as Home Assistant, ioBroker, IFTTT, and supports the IoT messaging standard MQTT.

Backup and Restore: The Repetier-Server Monitor desktop app allows users to create complete backups of all server installations or individual areas, ensuring data integrity and facilitating easy restoration.

Repetier-Firmware:

Repetier-Firmware is a fast and reliable firmware designed to control 3D printer hardware. It is compatible with Arduino-based boards and offers customization to suit various printer configurations.
