Slic3r PE does not save new Print Settings  

Re: Slic3r PE does not save new Print Settings

Just give it a new name when saving. Think of it as "save as" when the original is read-only.

Step 1: Load an existing profile and modify paramters. Here I've loaded the Prusa-provided 0.60mm nozzle profile and changed the Nozzle diameter:

Step 2: Save profile with an appropriate new name:

Step 3: Verify new profile is available.

You'll need to do the same thing for every Printer Settings, Filament Settings and Print Settings profile you modify.

Re: Slic3r PE does not save new Print Settings

Thanks for the detailed description, but it's exactly what I already did. The problem is, none if it works. As soon as I save a new Print Setting preset, the following happens:

Re: Slic3r PE does not save new Print Settings

Still not working. I tried reinstalling and setting folder permissions as well. It seems like Slic3r just cannot save new Print Setting presets in a new Printer Setting preset on my PC.

However, I found your Slic3r profiles for the MK3 and they are working great!

Hi, me noob here with same issue. But plz see https://github.com/prusa3d/Slic3r/issues/1066 with subject Buggy "Print Settings" behavior when changing "Printer Settings" nozzle size for an explanation. I hope the issue will be re-opened in Githbub.

Re: Slic3r PE does not save new Print Settings

Am I taking crazy pills?!?!?

This issue is happening to me too. How has this post been ignored for over a year and no one is responding to it with a fix? Is everyone in the world not saving their print settings like the software claims to make possible?????????

Re: Slic3r PE does not save new Print Settings

Since I don’t see it mentioned I’m assuming Windows 10. I am running Win 10 Pro X64 just in case that might make a difference.

I have saved all three tabs as user setting with no problems with both Slic3R PE and that Alpha 7 version. They all load correctly and the system defaults are all available. The only difference between the production and alpha versions is that they get saved to different folders:

Production version - C:\Users\<User Name>\AppData\Roaming\Slic3rPE

Alpha test version - C:\Users\<User Name>\AppData\Roaming\Slic3rPE-alpha

The following subdirectories exist under both with my user settings
filament
print
printer

I’m wondering if you are having problems creating subdirectories for some reason? Perhaps a permission issue?

Re: Slic3r PE does not save new Print Settings

Hey,

Ok so I was having the same issue when I changed nozzle diameter in 'Printer Settings'

The reason is that the list of 'Print Settings' that you are given is all those that have the dependancy set for the nozzle diameter that is currently set in the 'Printer Settings'.

If you change your nozzle diameter back to 0.4 the default list will reappear.

The solution is while it is set to 0.4 open your custom 'Print Settings' profile that you want to use with a different nozzle, and in the 'Dependancies' section change the line:

printer_notes=~/.*PRINTER_VENDOR_PRUSA3D.*/ and printer_notes=~/.*PRINTER_MODEL_MK3.*/ and nozzle_diameter[0]==0.4

to printer_notes=~/.*PRINTER_VENDOR_PRUSA3D.*/ and printer_notes=~/.*PRINTER_MODEL_MK3.*/ and nozzle_diameter[0]==0.8

Then when you change back to the 'Printer Settings' with a 0.8mm nozzle diameter, your custom 'Print Settings' will be the only one in the list.

Regards Matt

Yes, please see the green box on this page. I've tried to explain the issue and show work-arounds. Let me know if you have any questions. It's not a bug, it's a feature. Just a non-obvious one! 😀
