How to save printer settings from PrusaSlicer?

Seems like a dumb question but I can’t find anything to answer this…

I’m trying to modify my retraction settings for my Mk3s+ to minimize stringing and I know where to do it in the Printer Settings section of PSlicer. How do I transfer those settings to the printer itself?

Are those printer settings stored in the Gcode file or do I have to connect the printer to my computer or something else?

 Thanks!

The slicer puts the  retractions into the Gcode when it is  compiled. and the Gcode export takes the retraction information to the printer

You can save the changes at the top of the printer settings window.  so that next time you open prusa slicer, you can select your revised retraction setting profile

you need to be in advanced of expert mode!

RE:

None of this information is stored on the printer itself. As Joan explained, it's taken into account by the slicer to generate gcode that is then sent to the printer. Makes much more sense because different filaments may require different settings so this is all controlled at slice time,  not through memory on the printer.

Hi guys, I'm in exactly the same vague and illogical situation. After having found Cura a living nightmare, I have now turned to Prusa 2.9.1 and except for one main benefit of Cura where you had a "name & save" option on your slicing and printing parameters, it doesn't seem a simple process on Prusa and I'm fed up with re-setting on each and every slice/print I do, as all my work except for some shape variations, are all very similar, this option would save me frustrating hours of wasted time re-setting my variations from standard.

I have read Joan's comments above, understanding it is somewhat confusing to me, probably not as simple as it 'should' be and I may need babying through it in a bit more detail.

Really hope you understand and can assist - regards.

zdravím, mám stejný problém, podařilo se ti uložit vlastní nastavení Sliceru pro příští využití?
