Slicer settings for sample Gcode?

I'm trying to do a bit of investigation at the moment on various parameters, and I want to start from a known "perfect" print. The sample gcode for Benchy on my Mk3 is immaculate, and what I'd like to do is vary things from that starting point. Just one problem...

I have no idea what configuration was used to slice that gcode by Prusa. Can anyone help please?

Cheers.

Open the gcode in a text editor and you can see the settings. Assuming it was sliced with PrusaSlicer/Slic3r, the settings should be included. Depending on the version used and that you're running, you can try opening it as a config file. This normally works well, but recent version and program name changes have made it less than reliable.

Worst case, you can edit the text file to strip the gcode and remove the semicolons at the start of the PrusaSlicer parameters, then save it out as a config file.
