Welcome to the D5S-Repetier-Firmware wiki!
This wiki exists to provide detailed information on this Wanhao D5 firmware.
Please note that this firmware is not official firmware for your D5S series printer, since it is created by XiliX Technologies, a third-party.
Installing this firmware requires a bit of technical know-how, but allows you better control over your printer. Should you wish to return to official firmware, it is quite easy to do so - a Wiki page will be dedicated to returning to the official firmware.
Repetier vs Marlin. The official firmware, at present, is based on the Marlin firmware. While it is very good firmware, I have grown to like the Repetier firmware more. This is why I have decided to go with Repetier based firmware for this project.
My commitment to this firmware is very simple: I own a D5S Mini, did not like the official firmware, had to make changes that are not possible with the official firmware and so I decided to go down this route and create truly Open Source firmware for the D5S series (against the advice of other experts that have tried). I primarily built and configured the firmware for my needs, but since it is Open you can now do the same.
I have created this firmware, since I needed it. I continue to improve on this firmware (adding more features, optimizing other features and settings), and will also offer support on it (through the Wanhao Google Group). All of this takes a lot of time and effort.
If this firmware or my support helps you in any way, please considder a small donation.
For support on this firmware, you can create an Issue (if you believe it is a bug), or post on the Wanhao Google Group.
You should always ensure to include that you are using this firmware on your printer, for us or other experts to help you get what you need faster.
