Extruder max volumetric speed (or typical values).Developing a new profile doesn't require any magic, but to develop a good profile, you need to gather some hardware-specific information about your printers. I've done some tweaking of the Prusa profiles, but don't have another printer to test (yet). Unfortunately (for me), Lulzbot claims that the profiles are no longer updated, and I don't know how well they do (or don't) work. I haven't checked Ultimaker, but Lulzbot has some Slic3r profiles for their printers. We do get the occasional poster demanding such things, but in this case, I simply didn't have time to reply to your question. Just to be clear: I was responding to Tim's specific concern about the licensing of PrusaSlicer.
SLIC3R PROFILE FOR CETUS3D SOFTWARE
Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you have the freedom to distribute copies of free software ( and charge for them if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new free programs, and that you know you can do these things.Īctually, I'm not expecting Prusa to support other printers, if I was I would have emailed support instead of posting here.

When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not price.

By contrast, our General Public Licenses are intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change all versions of a program-to make sure it remains free software for all its users. The licenses for most software and other practical works are designed to take away your freedom to share and change the works.
SLIC3R PROFILE FOR CETUS3D LICENSE
The terms of the GNU license allows it, as follows. But: if Prusa ever comes along and says Prusa Slicer is part of the value package of their printer, then they can also come along and say use with other printers is allowed only with compensation. This is only out of an abundance of caution, and not that I think Prusa will ever go Apple on people. Here's the bit that would concern me if I took Prusa's work and used it for a public service to help other printer companies: and I'd probably want a note from Prusa before installing it in a public setting. RE: Non prusa printer profiles for PrusaSlicer In other words, I'm looking to learn from someone else's mistakes before I start making my own. (Or if their profile doesn't quite work can describe to me what doesn't work to give me direction.) I haven't written a profile for a printer from the ground up before, and only have weekly access to the target printers. I'm hoping that someone here uses any one of these printers and have a PrusaSlicer profile that they use and like that I can copy. The PrusaSlicer is originally based on Slic3r by Alessandro Ranellucci.Īctually, I'm not expecting Prusa to support other printers, if I was I would have emailed support instead of posting here. PrusaSlicer is licensed under the GNU Affero General Public License, version 3. That doesn't mean Prusa is obligated to support every printer, but only that anybody is welcome to modify it to do so. It's still open source and the code is available up on GitHub. Is Prusa Slicer considered open source and shareable, or is it proprietary now that they've renamed it and pulled it from the Slic3r branches? About shows Slic3r is using the GNU licenses, but makes no mention of Prusa Slicer licensing.
