How to Copy and Paste Modifiers

It's super easy to do, I've set up an example for you to follow.

I use this technique often, as I tend to make and place all my modifier shapes in my 3d program of choice, and have little need to manipulate the shapes once imported. Importing in this way also helps to abolish the ridiculous scaling issues associated with importing in Prusa Slicer. 

In this example I've setup a single object (75mm box) and have added 3 modifiers, I applied properties only to the modifier labeled: Swiss_Cheese Modifier, the other two (Generic-Cylinder & Generic-Box) modifiers have no properties applied yet.

If we were to slice the project now it would appear like this.

If we want to copy only the properties of the Swiss_Cheese Modifier we would highlight the properties only.

Then, in windows you can use (Ctrl-C) to copy or alternatively you can use the copy button in the slicer menu shown below.

Once copied, you will highlight the Modifier you want to paste the properties to.

In this example I'm pasting them to the Generic-Box Modifier

you can do this in windows using (Ctrl-V) alternatively you can use the paste button in the slicer menu shown above.

as soon as your done the properties are applied and your ready to slice.

(If done correctly it should look like this.)

Of course you can alter these settings as you like once you've applied them.

Project File:

Copy_Paste-Properties-between-modifiers.Zip

Note: This technique can also be used with Height Range Modifiers.

 You can also copy and paste the entire modifier mesh, with it's properties intact.

I hope this helps someone.

Good Luck

Well how about that!  works like a charm THANK YOU!!  I didn't see it because I expected a "right-click" menu to come up with a "copy modifier" option in a menu.  nothing happens when you right-click, and I didn't think to try ^C.
