I noticed on the Discourse, there was a thread about which slicers are compatible with which printers, and one user believed the compatibility was based on which printer profiles are listed under a particular slicer. This is incorrect, but we can provide solutions by linking (if the exist) printing profiles to either directly import, or manually import, for each printer to 2-4 popular slices (Cura, PrusaSlicer/SuperSlicer, SLIC3R, Simplify3D?) | I noticed on the Discourse, there was a thread about which slicers are compatible with which printers, and one user believed the compatibility was based on which printer profiles are listed under a particular slicer.

Personal page To-dos
Going to just use this page to outline some specific to-dos for both the main printer page and all of the printer pages.
- Take all of the information in the infoboxes (that are on each printer's unique page) and put them in a large table to compare stats between printers
- Create a template for each printer page detailing compatible filaments.
- Proposed compatibilities:
- "Officially Supported" - manufacturer specifically lists as compatible. Example: PLA on a Prusa i3 MK3S+
- "Compatible" - Known compatibility based on previous usage, as well as estimated compatible based on a printer's capabilites, for any filaments the manufacturer does NOT explicitly mention as supported. Example: Taulman Nylon 230 ("Taulman's Nylon 230 is the first nylon able to be printed at the low temperature of 230°C and without a heated bed! Taulman 230 can be printed on virtually any 3D printer")
- "Difficult" - Filaments that are likely possible or known to print successfully, but may have frequent issues and/or require advanced experience with printing settings. Example: Flexible filament on a bowden printer.
- "Incompatible" - Filaments that are impossible to correctly print. Example: PEEK Filament on pretty much every printer here (Requires >360C temps)
- "Forbidden" - Filaments that, regardless of possibility, should never be printed at ASMBLY due to safety reasons or being able to cause damage. Examples: POM filament (extremely toxic fumes) on any printer. Filaments requiring >230C temps on the PTFE-lined hotend printers. Abrasive-filled filaments on any printer with a nozzle not hard enough to handle it.
- Proposed compatibilities:
- Create a "master table" from that filament compatibility chart that is on the main 3D printing page
- Troubleshooting tips (or at least, a link to a good troubleshooting page)
- Basic use/etiquette rules (Printing time policy, picking up your print, how to handle someone else's late-pickup print, do's and don't's on things like metal tools on the bed, cleaning up after glues on the printbed)
