Repetier-Server is software for controlling and managing 3D printers.
What Repetier-Server is
Repetier-Server is software for controlling and managing 3D printers. One installation can manage multiple printers, depending on available hardware, and supports live monitoring in 2D or 3D with webcam views. G-code previews provide 2D and 3D displays, color coding, and layer-by-layer analysis. Print notifications can use Repetier-Informer, Pushover, WhatsApp, Signal, Telegram, or Facebook Messenger. MQTT-compatible systems such as Home Assistant and ioBroker can communicate with the server, and event-triggered web calls are supported. User management assigns specific rights, while printer backup and restore and a rescue system address some interruptions. Models, G-code, statistics, images, and videos remain on users’ computers. It can operate without an internet connection; activation and automatic updates need internet, with manual offline updates available. Installers cover Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux, including Intel, ARM, and Raspberry Pi builds. Development has ended at version 2.0, which is free for everyone.
