We recommend [https://www.prusa3d.com/en/page/prusaslicer_424/ PrusaSlicer] as a slicing software to use with the Prusa filament printers at ASMBLY.

== Setup ==
Download PrusaSlicer, then open the application. This will open the Configuration Assistant. If you later need to download more configurations, you can open the Configuration Assistant at any time by clicking <code>Configuration</code>-><code>Configuration Assistant...</code>

For use with the printers at ASMBLY, it's only necessary to make choices from the following two screens:

=== Prusa FFF ===
You will need to select profiles for the two types of Prusa FFF printers we have as ASMBLY, the '''[[Prusa MK3S+|Original Prusa i3 MK3S+]]''' and the '''Original Prusa XL - 5T Input Shaper'''. Both types of printers have 0.4mm nozzles
