Need help with basic setup PrusaSlicer-2.9.4
Hi all, not quite sure if this is the right place to post, please let me know if it is not. I have just managed to install PrusaSlicer on my Linux Q4OS system, but didn't get it right. My printer is Anycubic I3 Mega, an FDM printer, but nozzle temperature defaults to 60 degrees C, which of course is totally off limits. Further checking reveals the slicer thinks I have a Anycubic Photon Mono, which I believe is a resin printer ? The bottom line as I understand it is that my initial setup went totally sideways, so what I think I need to do is create a new user and printer, and remove the present data. Appreciate some guidance doing this ! Thanks Peter

Sounds like you need to redo the Configuration Wizard (in the Configuration menu of PrusaSlicer). The installer has no way of pinging your printers to identify them so the software needs you to choose the correct (or closest) printer from within the config wizard. Note that in the config wizard, FDM printers and resin printers are in separate sections.

Thanks for your reply. I also suspect some basic error, but can not find it. I have rerun the configuration wizard, making sure I now have a filament printer Anycubic (I3 Mega). Filaments settings clearly state 220/65 degrees C, still after slicing and moving the gcode to my printer, and requesting print, the target temperature reads 60/0. Am I missing somehow to save my presets in the configuration process ? Also, is it necessary to specify the exact printer, with some data ?

Something is definitely off. I'm not super familiar with any printer other than the Prusas that I've used (MK3 through C1+), but PrusaSlicer does have a preset for Anycubic i3 Mega, which I presume you've selected from the wizard. I've done a little research on that printer, and found articles about custom Marlin firmware and Klipperizing Megas. Is your printer essentially stock (latest Anycubic firmware), or has it been modified with either a custom firmware or converted to a Klipper machine? (I honestly don't know what happens if one tries to feed gcode for Marlin to Klipper...)
Would you please create a simple project, for example a 10mm square 0.2mm high, save it as a .3mf file. Then slice it and save the gcode file. Zip the two files together and attach here so others can do proper investigation.

Will try to supply a test as you suggest in the weekend. Last night I checked recent gcodes, and they had commands for setting temperature, correct as I understand it. Furthermore I activated a Cura slicer, on another computer, and gcode from that gave the same result. Now, in my tests I quickly shut down the printer, thinking it was out of temp. control. Another thing to try would be letting it run while measuring nozzle temperature, in case it is a problem with the hotend.
Could also be something with the display, but it does show a zero at least.
Thanks for now,
Peter
