Introduction

The Repetier-Host is a simple to use host software, which is be compatible with most firmwares around. You can add and position your STL files on the simulated printbed and slice them all together. For slicing you can use the built-in Slic3r slicer or use the well-known Skeinforge. Just call "Slice & Load" and the job gets delegated to the current slicer, showing its output in the log window. For a full description please visit the homepage url (Download).

In the G-Code editor you can change or analyze your code. To help you a short description of the current code is shown below the editor.

The host runs on Windows XP or higher, Linux, and Mac OS X.
