Is there a maximum number of steppers that repetier can control? I'm researching Hexapod 3D printers, and am also unsure if it can handle hexapod kinematics.

Repetier can have a maximum of 6 extruders. Is that what you are asking?Quote:

Repetier is setup to have 4-Axis. X,Y,Z and the currently being used extruder. And you can have up to 6 extruders. The software does not have any concept of pitch, yaw and roll.Quote:
