change the variable "printer_model"

Hi folks,

I use the slicer not only for my MKS3 MMU2S, but also for a DIY printer.
Does anyone know if I can change the variable "printer_model", I would like the printername to appear in the file name.

Regards,

Stefan

RE: change the variable "printer_model"

I believe it's in the configuration file. There's a line that reads

printer_model = MK3

You'd have to look at the ini files for the Prusa-supplied defaults for any other printers.

Edit: Quick check of the PrusaResearch.ini shows many different models...


[printer_model:MINI]
name = Original Prusa MINI
variants = 0.4; 0.25; 0.6
technology = FFF
family = MINI

[printer_model:MK3S]
name = Original Prusa i3 MK3S
variants = 0.4; 0.25; 0.6
technology = FFF
family = MK3

[printer_model:MK3]
name = Original Prusa i3 MK3
variants = 0.4; 0.25; 0.6
technology = FFF
family = MK3

[printer_model:MK3SMMU2S]
name = Original Prusa i3 MK3S MMU2S
variants = 0.4; 0.25; 0.6
technology = FFF
family = MK3

[printer_model:MK3MMU2]
name = Original Prusa i3 MK3 MMU2
variants = 0.4; 0.25; 0.6
technology = FFF
family = MK3

RE: change the variable "printer_model"

Custom printer .ini files are stored in the following location on your PC:

 

%appdata%\PrusaSlicer\printer

 

Search for "printer_model = " and add your desired model name. Restart PrusaSlicer and the gcode filename should automatically display the printer model name if the output filename format is configured to do so. This setting is found in Print Settings>Output options>Output file. This is the default:

 

{input_filename_base}_{layer_height}mm_{filament_type[0]}_{printer_model}_{print_time}.gcode
