When you launch PrusaSlicer for the first time, a Configuration Wizard window opens automatically. 

Configuration Wizard can also be launched manually from the top menu by selecting Menu -> Configuration -> Configuration Wizard. 

Opening PrusaSlicer for the first time

The following screen is shown when opening PrusaSlicer for the first time. The program needs a way to download the configuration files. This can be done by logging in to your Prusa Account or selecting configuration sources. 

Welcome (remove user profiles)

The first welcome tab offers the option to remove all user profiles. 

Log in with your Prusa Account (optional)

It is possible to control your printer through the built-in Prusa Connect in PrusaSlicer, if logged in to your Prusa Account.

By logging in with your Prusa Account, the profiles are automatically downloaded, with no need to download them from the configuration sources. 

Configuration sources

This function is necessary when not logged in with a Prusa Account. There is an option to enable our online sources, that way the program automatically uses the source files from our webpage. 

Alternatively, it is possible to load your local sources for configuration files. We have our profiles on this dedicated page. The download button downloads a zip file that can be directly uploaded as a local source.

Other options

Updates

PrusaSlicer can be set to automatically check for application updates and to automatically update the built-in profiles. 

Downloads

Selection for allowing built-in downloader. Enabling it makes it possible to open models from our online database Printables.com with a single click, using a PrusaSlicer logo button visible on the Printables.com model page. 

Reload from disk

By default, 3MF project files are configured to not save the full path to the source models, as this can pose a security risk when sharing such a file. If the full path is not saved and Reload from disk is requested, PrusaSlicer will ask for the location of the source file. 

Files association

Associate 3mf and/or stl files with PrusaSlicer. If enabled, PrusaSlicer is set as the default program to open these formats.

Select the view mode, between simple, advanced, and expert modes. Select a preference between metric or imperial measurements.
