Your printer profile within Octolapse can be customized to work with Slic3r Prusa Edition, making it easier and more intuitive to copy your slicer settings into Octolapse. All of the controls have been tailored to match Slic3r PE as closely as possible. Just select 'Slic3r Prusa Edition' from the 'Slicer Type' drop down within your current printer profile. This will also customize the 'Feature Detection' print quality settings within your snapshot profile to match Slic3r PE's terminology.
