PrusaSlicer 2.3.3 (Linux) and Thumbnail colors

Hi,

I have been trying to switch to prusa from cura.

I am using octoprint and I am loving those thumbnails. Unfortunately with files rendered by prusa they are always in orange color in octoprint.

Could anyone please advice me on how to change this color?

Thanks and best regards,

Otto

As far as I'm aware you cant.  Its built in as Prusa Orange.  The reason I think that, is that the ability to change it was added as a feature request to Super Slicer (which is a fork of PS).

I may be misunderstanding what you're trying to do but in the filament profile there is a color parameter, just set it to any colour that you like. If you want realistic colours for multi colour jobs I guess you'd need to create additional (copied) profiles with just the colour changed.

That's not what the OP is talking about Towlerg.  Its the thumbnails created by PS when you save gcode.  Things like octoprint or the mini can display these thumbnails.  I'm pretty sure they are locked to orange though in PS.  Its worth trying to change the filament colour under Extruder>preview colour though just in case PS does use that colour.  I dont have octo so I dont have anything that can view them to test it with.

Merill the Super Slicer dev added some more options after users requested them.  One was to be able to define the colour and the other was to allow the option of the bed image to be used/disabled.

Hi!

oh. this is a pity.

I also tried SuperSlicer, but somehow the prints are not so good as Prusas... But one can change the color of the thumbnails.

Maybe we are lucky and somewho implements this in Prusa, too...

Changing filament color did not help btw...

Thanks anyway!

Best regards,

Otto

A lot of people have that trouble with Super Slicer.  Unfortunately while they may look and mostly work in very similar ways there are so many more settings in SuSi.  Many of them if you set something slightly out can seriously effect your prints.  Its also not intuitive exactly what effect some of those settings can have.  You cant really load the same profiles between the 2 slicers and expect them to be the same any more, they have diverged too far.  For example there was a problem with segment start/end points recently that was causing uneven surfaces recently which was tracked down to some of the default resolution settings being sub-optimal.

You also have to be very careful which versions you use as most of them are what I'd call pretty experimental compared to PS releases.  Its definitely not a slicer for the casual user and takes time to learn.  

Someone has already opened this thumbnail colour request over on the PS github though https://github.com/prusa3d/PrusaSlicer/issues/4577
