1. Slic3rPE

These profiles are based on a quality/speed balance (Universal). Good prints without sacrifice the speed. Make sure you have a good leveled printer and bed.

NOTE: Fine tune the start gcode for your printer! This is very important since i can't provide a all case profile for every modification and printer.

Modify at your needs.

1.1. Instalation

1. Download Slic3rPE from: https://github.com/prusa3d/Slic3r/releases
2. Start and configure Slic3rPE (Wizard)
3. Close Slic3rPE
4. On different operating systems open:
   • Windows: "%AppData%\Slic3rPE", if not exists try: "C:\Users\Public\Documents\Prusa3D\Slic3r settings xxxx"
   • Mac: "/Users/[Username]/Library/Application Support/Slic3rPE"
   • Linux:
     • Stable build: "~/.Slic3rPE/"
     • Alpha build: "~/.Slic3rPE-alpha/"
5. Copy GitHub Slic3rPE subfolders ("printer", "filament", "print") to the folder above
6. Open Slic3rPE and check if profiles are there
7. To clean up interface remove profiles that you will not use: Printers you will not use (OPTIONAL)
8. Go under printer and use your current values for your printer, like max Z, limits, start gcodes or other things you may need to tune
9. Do a simple test print
