RepRapFirmware is object-oriented C++ firmware for controlling 3D printers and related devices on ARM Cortex-based electronics such as ATSAM4E, ATSAM4S, SAME70 and SAME5x boards. It is the firmware running on Duet controller boards and is licensed under GPLv3.

Use cases

  • control a 3D printer with Duet electronics
  • run RepRap-style printers on ARM Cortex microcontrollers
  • customize printer firmware behavior in C++
  • port printer control firmware to supported SAM processors
  • manage motion, heating and G-code execution on a printer board

When to choose

  • you use Duet or compatible ARM Cortex-based controller boards
  • you want a mature, actively maintained open-source 3D printer firmware
  • you need object-oriented C++ firmware you can extend
  • you want RepRapFirmware features like its G-code dialect and platform support

When to avoid

  • your board only runs AVR processors like Arduino Mega
  • you prefer Marlin's large community and configuration ecosystem
  • you need LPC1768/STM32 support without using the separate fork
  • you want a firmware configured purely through GUI tools without C++ knowledge
