Finding infill % in gcode
Hi everyone,
This is a silly question but I created a file and sliced it and didn't think much about it until now, as I have to modify it. I want to slice it again but want to keep the same infill % as the previous file. Problem is, I don't remember what infill I set it up to.
I opened the gcode in Prusa G-Code viewer but can't find anything telling me what infill I used. Am I missing something?
Thank you
E.

No you aren’t missing anything. The gcode viewer just shows you the results of the gcode, not what settings were used.
However PRUSA slicer stores a copy of the settings at the end of the generated gcode. You can either open the gcode with a text editor and look through the settings manually or an easier way is to start PRUSA slicer and use the file>import option to import settings from the gcode file. That will load the settings from the profiles back in.
It is limited in that it only stores the profiles settings, if you used a modifier on an object then those are NOT saved in the gcode. In future it is good practice to save a project each time. A saved PS project file (3mf) stores everything. Allowing you to re-slice easily and also make any changes later. You can also import settings from existing project files using file>import too.

Oh my god I completely forgot about that import config option! I used it a few times and didn't even thing about that ...Thank you, I found the infill now!
