On June 1, 2023 we have updated new machine profiles and migrated to PrusaSlicer 2.6.0 Beta. Follow this guide Slicer Intro to setup PrusaSlicer.

Reasons we switched to PrusaSlicer:

  • SuperSlicer has not pushed new updates for many months and lagging behind, while PrusaSlicer is developing new features frequently

  • Faster program launch and Gcode generation due to multithreading

  • More refined UI tools such as Cut and Measure

  • “Organic supports” auto generate tree supports that are great for intricate parts
