One fun thing, however, is that Repetier visually tracks the progress of the print - great for demos!

Repetier vs. Replicator G?
With our newest Printrbot, we have been experimenting with the (open source) Repetier software. There are some things the kids like better about it, mostly that the adjustments are easily accessible. They are constantly messing with the print speed, temperature, etc. I personally haven't seen anything on the Repetier panels that isn't under "Edit Profiles" in ReplicatorG somewhere, but I'll need more time with it to be sure.
