18. Firmware Update
The firmware is updated frequently to optimise the properties of the 3D printer.
The currently installed firmware version of your printer is briefly displayed in the upper display line after switching on the printer.
For firmware updates, see https://github.com/RF1000/Repetier-Firmware. Here, the most recent firmware updates are
provided. You can choose between two “branches”:
“Master” is the final version of the firmware.
“Development” is the version of the firmware that is currently subject to development.
The firmware link can also be reached in the custom software Repetier-Host under “Help” > “RF1000 Firmware”.
