Repetier-Host Setting
Outline
Repetier-Host is an excellent integrated 3D printing software, you can slice, modify the
G-Code, manually control 3D printer, and change some parameters of firmware and some
other features. It even can use other external slicing software to slice, such as
CuraEngine, Slic3r and Skeinforge software. Comparing to all similar software (such as
Printrun, Repelicator-G), it is the most convenient. It invokes excellent performance of
Slic3r in refining and printing path optimization, as well as has some advantages in printing
performance and simplified path of CuraEngine. So Repetier-Host is popular among 3D
printer players. Let’s take the following RepetierHost_1_5_6 for an example.
一. Installation
1.1 Open the SD card, in the file "4. Control software Repetier - Host installation and
introduces" copy the installation package to a computer.
1.2 Installing the software
1) Unzip the downloaded file and install .
The software supports multiple languages, including Simplified Chinese. But the
installation of Chinese can not be selected, select “English" to be installed, it will be is a
simplified Chinese version after completion. Or it may be able to identify the system
language and automatically match.
Click OK
Click “next”
Click “I accept the agreement” and do next
Choose location of installing files
Then select the slicer, default options are CuraEngine and Slic3r, also you can load
Skeinforge slicer, which not so good, then better no choose it. Click “next”.
Create a desktop icon and click “next”
After the installation is complete, the software icons appear on the desktop.
2) Using the desktop icon or Start menu shortcut to start the software. The main interface
is as follows:
Repetier-Host software interface includes a menu bar, toolbar, view areas and functional
areas. Toolbar mainly used to connect the printer and set up the printer. View area is
mainly used to view the model, G-Code files, observe the temperature curve, it contains
some additional perspective view shortcut buttons. Functional areas are the core area of
the software, including five functional blocks: objects placed, slicing software, preview,
manual control and SD card. "Objects Placed" is used to transform a 3D model and make it
easy to print; "Slicing Software" is for selecting a good model to slice the model changed in
the engine so as to obtain a G-Code file; "Preview" to view slicing result in single-view,
