1. PrusaSlicer

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 and install PrusaSlicer from: https://www.prusa3d.com/prusaslicer/
2. Start and configure PrusaSlicer (Wizard)
   • Choose Prusa MK3 and Creality Ender3 printers
   • Choose the filaments you want to apper (This can be latter done under Filament dropdown and select "Add/Remove Materials")

     • Alpha build: "~/.PrusaSlicer-alpha/"
5. Copy GitHub PrusaSlicer subfolders ("printer", "filament", "print") to the folder above
