Coralie Sliter
A 3D slicer is an application takes a 3D model and converts it into a G-code file with a series of layers and instructions that a 3D printer can understand. Each slice corresponds to the cross-section of the 3D object at a specific height in the Z-axis. The slicer allows you to adjust various parameters affecting the printing process, like layer height, print speed, infill density, support structures, and cooling settings.
Ideamaker was developed by Raise3D, a manufacturer of 3D printers. The slicer is well known for generating advanced supports and allowing users to customize support structures for overhangs and complex geometries to achieve better print quality and reduce the need for extensive post-processing.
In addition to having the common 3D printer settings, Cura has other key features like the tree supports. You can add them manually or generate them automatically, and these supports are easy to remove from the print.
KISSlicer is a cross-platform 3D slicer that you can use not only on Windows, Mac, and Linux but also on FreeBSD and Raspberry Pi OS. There is a free version that contains basic functionalities. You must upgrade to the premium version to unlock other advanced features like multi-material 3D printing. Follow the steps below to set up the software and slice your 3D models.
2. Set up your 3D printer profile by specifying the number of extruders it has, the diameter, and the 3D printer bed dimensions. You can also proceed without creating the profile by clicking Cancel Printer.
6. Click on the three dots and rectangular shapes in the top-right corner of the interface to slice your 3D model. A window launching will prompt you to verify your settings, like the 3D printer used, style, supports, and material. Confirm by clicking the checkboxes.
Slic3r is a free and open-source 3D slicing software that supports FDM and resin 3D printers (see our list of the best resin 3D printers). It has advanced features like a print spool queue option, allowing you to 3D print on multiple 3D printers simultaneously. There is also the ability to preview toolpaths visually, generate G-code files in batch form, and repair 3D models. Follow the steps below to slice your 3D models.
6. Click Slice when you have applied all the necessary settings. A window will appear that you can use to preview your file and either choose to send it to your 3D printer through the network or save it to your computer.

This is standard behavior on the Mini. The nozzle is warmed in a 2-step process. This reduces stringing during mesh bed leveling. The 2nd warmup stage to printing temps happens after mesh bed leveling. Just wait and let it finish. You can add this to the Mk3 using a variety of custom start gcode options. If this is happening on a Mk3, you must be using a custom 3D printer preset.
So if you downloaded someones 3mf then its quite possible that you are running its start gcode rather than your normal printers. One reason you shouldnt blindly download and run one from the internet. As someone being malicious could embed all sorts of nasty behavior in one.
So, when I slice my model with the default unchanged settings for PLA Prusament, and export it to the printer via the SD card, the nozzle temperature for the print is 0 degrees instead of 215 while attempting to print. I've tried reslicing my model several times and it only seems to happen with this particular file.
Are you using an i3 MK3s ? if yes, you have to redo a full setup of PrusaSlicer as your 3mf file show us a strange printer,with, assuming your printer is an i3 MK3s, bad Z size, bad start and end gcode and bad firmware (RepRap/Sprinter vs Marlin for an I3 MK3s).
The longest way is to reinstall PrusaSlicer and make the good choices thru the printer & nozzles choosing menu, the filaments presets choosing menu .... It's the best way to have a nice and clean starting configuration of PrusaSlicer.
Alex can you confirm what printer you are actually using please. We cant help you without knowing. The project you posted (thank you btw) is set up for a printer type called "Foundry". Now I am not familiar with that printer type but its configuration is quite different from what would be seen on a MK3 printer.
As has been pointed out that printer is configured to use RepRap firmware, if thats correct for the printer then ok. Theres not much in the way of start gcode in there, for example it doesnt preheat the bed or preheat the nozzle to the filament temperature as those lines are not there. Basically we need some background as to your actual setup and if the project file was something you put together or downloaded from elsewhere.
detect thin walls is a good start. make sure that's clicked. I think its on the same tab as first layer stuff. just make sure to check it in slicer. it does seem to show if it will print or not. maybe the inner wall is thin.
Bambu Handy app and slicer are unable to reach the printer via the cloud. The network test PASSES (connection to router and internet are OK). But the printer reports that there is no internet connection.
-I tried a different router on my home network, same result (no internet connection).
-I tried a factory reset of the printer, same result (no internet connection).
-I used the hotspot on my phone (cellular data connection) and while connected to the hotspot the printer was able to reach the internet properly and the slicer and Bambu handy could reach the printer.
Update: I had been on Lan Only mode for a few days so I decided to try the cloud based again. As soon as I turned off Lan Only, there was a firmware update notification, and after installing the update everything works properly again. I can now connect via the Handy app and slicer.
I am getting a message that indicates that the code on my SD card has not been sliced for my printer. I am using the Prusa Slicer and a new Prusa i3 MK3 printer. I have checked the printer settings in the slicer and I believe I have selected the correct printer. Also, how often should one change the nozzle? I have printed two vase's recently and when I try to print the third the filament seems to get caught up with the nozzle and is pulled away from the bed. These may be silly questions but what do you expect from an old newbie!
There's no such thing. The Mk3 is kinda antiquated. The new printers are Mk3S+ machines so if you have selected Mk3 in the Prusaslicer wizard, then yes, you have sliced for the wrong printer. Just rerun the wizard.
In general you get the most quality advice here if you save your project as a 3mf file from Prusaslicer's File menu. Then right-click zip compress it (or the forum software will silently reject it) and post it here (Attach file, under the text edit box). The 3mf file contains the STL but most importantly also ALL your settings so we can see if anything is misconfigured.
Thanks for the reply and suggestions. I have selected the printer setting for i3MK3s+ mmu2s single and I have also tried the setting for i3 MK3S+ MMu2S. I seem to get the same message with either setting.
Okay, I think I know now what you're saying. If you downloaded the 3mf file and sliced it, yes, it would be correct for your printer because a 3mf file (unlike an STL file) contains all settings, including what printer was selected, and in that 3mf file it was the Mk3S+.
I guess I don't know enough to explain myself clearly. The preset options that I have are (1) Original Prusa mini & Mini+, (2) Original Prusa i3 MK3S & MK3S+ MMU2S, (3) Original Prusa i3 MK3S & MK3S+ MMU2S Single. These were the only presets available and none of them worked until I downloaded the program from you that contained the preset Original Prusa MK3S & MK3S+ - copy. So I now have this as the default printer but I can't find the location where you have selected the MK3S printer. Under the printer preset I have a support option, an infill option, and a Brim box to check if desired.
Okay, I received a message that indicated that I was not running the newest stuff on the slicer. I went through the wizard and I think I am now set up properly. I will replace some of my projects and see what happens.
Am I missing something or is there a way to setup Bambu Handy Slicer to select the speed setting when the gcode is sent to the printer (Silent - Normal - Sport - Ludicrous mode) Each time I send a print to the printer it is always sent to have the printer run at Normal speed mode.
We dont bake the hole model into g code all at once , instead we stream the slices in to g code as we need them during the print
of course bake can be an option later but streaming the slices real time allows the computer the printer to share time ( the slicing computation can happen during the same time the actual printing happens) This makes for a printer that starts immediately after clicking print
and alows the user to change any part of the printed object that has not yet been printed.
Evan tho our end goal is a wav file, we will leave g code as a step in the tool chain so that blender will be
able to slice for all 3d printers and so that all slicers can slice for the peachy printer.
In fill is more an an issue for other printers, with the peachy printer we have much less need for it. Yes to print a solid object with the Peachy Printer you can save A LOT of time by simply printing a manifold shell which traps liquid resin inside! Then after you can cure the traped resin in the sun or in a uv chamber.
