Cura Slicer

When we need to control of our JellyBOX using our computer, be it for troubleshooting, development, or for show, we use Pronterface.

Pronterface is a 3D printing host– a program that allows direct control of 3D printers (including printing a sliced gcode) through a USB cable.

Pronterface is a part of Printrun, a free, open-source software suite, licensed under the GNU General Public License, version 3. (Yay!)

What sets Pronterface apart is its large and comfortable command line interface, and small footprint (it takes no space on your computer.) The interface is barely functionalist, but also highly functional. https://herejfil440.weebly.com/pokemon-battle-revolution-wii-iso-ita.html.

PS: Also, great simple macros. That’s your homework, you overachievers.

Quick HowTo for the Impatient

  1. Download and install from http://www.pronterface.com/#download (or https://github.com/kliment/Printrun if you like github)

Regular HowTo

  1. Head over to http://www.pronterface.com/#download
  2. “Windows & OSX binaries” (unless you’re on Linux, but then you don’t need this tutorial)
  3. Download the latest Mac or PC .zip archive
  4. Unzip the archive (double click)
  5. On both platforms, Pronterface simply runs from whereever you put it. On Windows, I suggest creating a folder ‘Portable Applications’ on your Desktop. On Mac, I suggest dragging the app into your Applications folder just like all the other programs.
  6. Done!

PrusaSlicer is based on Slic3r by Alessandro Ranellucci. It's completely free and open-source. Thanks to the strong community and core team of developers in Prusa Research we can continually add new functionality. You can follow the development process on Github.

Slic3r was always known to be powerful and versatile, but some features were difficult to use, if not outright hidden behind obscure menus and dialogs. Our goal with the reworked UI was to expose all the power features while making the UI clear and simple to use at the same time.

PrusaSlicer lets you create support blockers and enforcers. Support blockers are useful when you’re generally happy with the automatic supports, but you want to exclude some areas. With support enforcers, you can turn automatic supports off and select specific parts which need supports.

With the release of our Original Prusa SL1 resin 3D printer, we’ve added masked SLA (MSLA) mode into PrusaSlicer. As far as we know, PrusaSlicer is the first high-quality open-source MSLA slicer available. PrusaSlicer also supports multi material FFF printing with the Original Prusa MMU2S.

Best mkv converter software. Testers and developers at Prusa Research are constantly working on presets for 60+ filaments and resins. We are adding profiles on regular basis, following materials by the most popular manufacturers. You will get new profiles automatically through auto-update function.

Free ssh file transfer. 3D printing is always about the quality versus the print time. In PrusaSlicer, you can select the layer height for each part of the object separately. Our software takes care of smoothing so the final print looks best as it can and the printing time remains acceptable. Check out the video.

PrusaSlicer includes built-in firmware flasher for Original Prusa i3 printers. You can just connect your printer to computer via USB cable and easily flash the firmware via PrusaSlicer. Don't forget to upgrade your printer regularly! 😉

You can prepare prints with color change directly in PrusaSlicer. Just insert the “pause for filament change” code at layers which you marked in the print preview screen. A preview is displayed instantly so you’ll see exactly how your model will look with color-change.

With Octoprint application, you can control your printer via web browser. PrusaSlicer is now supporting advanced features of Octoprint like upload queue or Cancelobject plugin, which allows you to cancel printing of one particular object on the print bed.
