RepRap Firmware

An older firmware, but still one of the best. Requires a 32-bit mainboard with a web server for controlling and monitoring the printer via the network.

RepRapFirmware is an advanced open-source firmware for 3D printers, laser cutters, and CNC machines. It was originally developed for Duet controllers and stands out from older firmware such as Marlin or Repetier thanks to its flexibility and modern architecture. Technical features 32-bit architecture: Optimized for modern ARM processors, not for outdated 8-bit systems.

• Web interface: Enables control and monitoring of the printer via the network.
• G-code-based: Configuration is done directly via G-code files – no compilation necessary.
• Modular design: Supports multiple extruders, sensors, and extensions.
• Simulation Mode: Enables precise predictions of print duration.
• Delta Calibration: Uses least squares methods for automatic calibration of delta printers.
• Print Optimization: Features such as pressure advance and segment-free motion control ensure better print quality.

Installation and Configuration

RepRapFirmware is an advanced open-source firmware for 3D printers.

Installation and configuration

• Compatible boards: Mainly Duet 2 and Duet 3 boards, but other 32-bit platforms are also possible.
• Configuration tools: The RepRap Config Tool Wizard helps you create a custom configuration.
• Firmware upload: Possible via the web interface or SD card.
• SSH access: For advanced users, control via SSH is possible, e.g., with a Raspberry Pi.

Who is RepRap firmware suitable for?

• Experienced makers: Ideal for users who want to delve deeper into the configuration.
• Industrial users: Thanks to its stability and network capability, it is also suitable for professional applications.
• Duet users: Those who own a Duet board will benefit most from the firmware.
