Missing Printer/nozzle presets

Hey all,

Brand new to 3D printing. I built out an i3 MK3 kit from September 29 to Oct 1. I think things went very well, and I've been running this thing nearly non-stop since. From Oct 1 to Nov 01, I went through 12381.32 M of filament and total print time was 28d 19h 34m. So I think things are going really well with the default 0.4 mm nozzle. I just ordered an E3D 0.25mm nozzle so I can print finer detail on some gaming miniatures. This is where my issue comes in.

So, in the Slic3r PE, I only have the one default printer preset. From Plater > Printer I only have the one ---System Presets --- "Original Prusa i3 MK3". This is the same if I look on the Printer Settings tab, I still only have "Original Prusa i3 MK3".

When I look in PrusaControl under Settings > PrusaControl Settings > Printer variation - This is where I do have the option of using "Nozzle 0.25mm" and "Nozzle 0.6mm". I would prefer to print from Slic3r PE so I can learn more about these systems and settings as I experiment further. Especially with these small models and needing to be very careful about placement and supports.

I understand these settings should also be in Slic3r Prusa Edition, but I cannot find them anywhere. I have the newest version from the web site "Drivers & Apps 2.2.1". So this is Slic3r 1.41.1. I have two Windows 10 machines, and they are both having this problem. I have tried uninstalling and resinstalling Slic3r PE, but that has not corrected this.

Any help on how I can get the 0.25 and 0.6 nozzle profiles added? Or can someone provide me the changes needed so that I can build my own profile?

Open Slic3rPE, open the Configuration menu and select Configuration Assistant. There you can select the printer and nozzle options.

If you want to customize or create your own profiles, my notes are here.

Awesome bobstro! On my version it is Configuration then Configuration Wizard, but that was definitely the fix. Thank you very much.

RE: Missing Printer/nozzle presets

Also the preset for Prusa MINI filament 0.6 mm nozzle is missing. The printer preset is there but the Pruas Polymers filament settings are not related to the 0.6 mm nozzle. Especially the "Extrusion Multiplier" setting =1 seems wrong for 0.6 mm nozzle setting.

 

There is no indication of the settings for 0.6 nozzle although it is a 0.6 nozzle printer setting.
