Gcode for Prime
Some of the files that I have printed from Prusa, start out a short priming of filament at the front left side edge of bed. I like this feature at beginning of print project. I was told that when you slice with PrusaSlicer, that Gcode is added to the slice, but have been slicing with it quite a bit and doesn't seem to add it. Is there a way to automatically add it to every slice I do?

Did you ever get an answer to this question, Steve and Belinda? I have the very same quesiton.
RE: Gcode for Prime
If you installed one of the standard Prusa printer profiles, a prime line should be included in the prints. If you'd like to save your part & settings in a project 3MF file, zip it and attach it to a response here, we can take a bit more of a look to see what's going on.
Adding a customized prime line routine is a matter of adding the instructions to your Printer Settings->Custom G-code->Start G-code section. I've got a documented example here that includes a prime line routine if you've selected a different printer.

This is the gcode that I use on my Sovol SV01 for printing the prime line:
G92 E0 ;Reset Extruder
G1 Z2.0 F3000 ;Move Z Axis up
G1 X3.1 Y20 Z0.28 F5000.0 ;Move to start position
G1 X3.1 Y200.0 Z0.28 F1500.0 E15 ;Draw the first line
G1 X3.4 Y200.0 Z0.28 F5000.0 ;Move to side a little
G1 X3.4 Y20 Z0.28 F1500.0 E30 ;Draw the second line
G92 E0 ;Reset Extruder
G1 Z2.0 F3000 ;Move Z Axis up
Best regards,
Mark
