Even today when someone sees my 3d printer they say the phrase “this is the future” and every time I reply with “you’re wrong, this is the present”.

Introduction to Repetier Host

Many 3d printers can be equipped with an SD card reader to print autonomously, those that do not have this possibility must use a personal computer, connected via USB, with software capable of managing the printer itself.

One of the most used free software is Repetier Host and today I want to describe its most basic features. After downloading and installing it, leaving all the options that it offers us by default, we will have to set it to allow the connection and configuration of our printer. When Repetier Host starts, a window will appear where on the right we find the “Printer settings” button
