The slicers
preslice reads five slicers and shows each setting under that slicer's own name.
Which slicers?
| Slicer | Settings file |
|---|---|
| PrusaSlicer | Metadata/Slic3r_PE.config |
| Bambu Studio | Metadata/project_settings.config |
| OrcaSlicer | Metadata/project_settings.config |
| Cura | inside the model XML |
| Creality Print | Metadata/project_settings.config |
What survives a move between slicers?
| From, to | Geometry and placement | Settings |
|---|---|---|
| Between Bambu Studio, OrcaSlicer, Creality Print | yes | mostly |
| Any other pair | yes | no |
Use Convert to carry the settings.
What about other tools?
A .3mf from CAD or another tool opens for its geometry, with no settings:
preslice reads the geometry the
3MF Core Specification
defines, which every conforming writer produces.
