PrusaSlicer Setup

This document explains how to add the provided PrusaSlicer profiles to your slicer, as well as setup tips pertaining to PrusaSlicer specifically. Setting names used here follow the "parameter names" that are used in the slicer config files; you can use the search function to see which settings these correspond to in the GUI.

Table of Contents

Adding provided profiles

A vendor bundle for PrusaSlicer 2.7.0 can be found in the PrusaSlicer_2.7.0 folder. To use the included profiles, first copy the contents of the folder to the vendor folder located in:

  • PrusaSlicer stable* version:
    • Windows: C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\PrusaSlicer
    • Mac: /Users/<username>/Library/Application Support/PrusaSlicer
  • PrusaSlicer alpha* version:
    • Windows: C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\PrusaSlicer-alpha
    • Mac: /Users/<username>/Library/Application Support/PrusaSlicer-alpha
  • PrusaSlicer beta* version:
    • Windows: C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\PrusaSlicer-beta
    • Mac: /Users/<username>/Library/Application Support/PrusaSlicer-beta

* the vendor .ini file will have the slicer version it is meant for written at the top. Make sure you check whether it is a stable, alpha, or beta version so that you copy the items to the correct folder.

Next, launch PrusaSlicer and open the Configuration Wizard by clicking Configuration > Configuration Wizard. Click on "Other Vendors" on the left side (or "Other FFF" on PrusaSlicer 2.8 or later) and ensure "Annex Engineering" is checked.

Check "Annex Engineering"

Click on "Annex Engineering FFF" on the left and select the printer profile(s) you want to add.

Select printer profiles

Click on "Filaments" on the left, select the names of all the printer profiles you added, and ensure all of the filament profiles you want are checked by clicking the "All" button on the right.

Select filament profiles

Finally, click Finish. In the Plater tab, you should now be able to select the Printer, Print settings, and Filament from the profiles you just added.

Plater: select profiles

Extruder count

Set extruders_count to match the number of lanes on your Trad Rack. This setting is located in the Printer Settings Tab.

Setting up a print

See "9 Printing in Multi Material Mode" in the Prusa MMU2S manual for details on how to set up a multimaterial print. In particular, make sure to set the purge volumes, as these cannot be saved in a profile.

Modifying the profiles

If you modify the print, filament, or printer settings in the slicer, you can use the save button to save a copy of your settings. A .ini file will be saved to the corresponding print, filament, or printer folder, located in the same parent folder as the vendor folder. Alternatively, you can edit the Annex_K3_TR.ini file directly in a text editor if you prefer.

Experimental options

See the Slicing document for more details.
