If you have a 3d printer, you need to feed it with data. The typical workflow is as follows:

Repetier / Repetier-Host-Mac. Watch 21 Star 68 Fork 34 Code. Pull requests 2. Actions Projects 0. Security Insights Code. Pull requests 2. We actually tried that where we set the position manually by using the controls in Repetier, then we power down the device and power it back up. When we hit the home button the CNC seeks to a different location from the one we set it to. Also, won’t the chip burn out if we manually move the device by hand since the motors generate current?

Create a 3d model and export it in stl format or get it from the internet.
Arrange one or more models on a virtual print plate.
Slice the the models into thin slices and compute a path for printer head. This is done by a slicing software, which converts the model into g-code, the language your printer speaks.
Check the created g-code for errors and printability.
Send the g-code to your printer or copy the code to a sd card, which you can insert into your printer.
Monitor your printer.

Except for point 1 the host offers everything you need. As you will see, the host interface offers different tabs to guide you easily through the workflow.

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 Repetier-Host homepage.
