Show HN: Share Slicer Settings for 3D Printers
3D printers need slicer software to turn 3D models into print commands. Slicers have lots of configuration parameters, any of which could screw up a print.
A couple months back I was looking for slicer settings to get my new k8200 printer working with anything other than PLA. A kind Redditor shared her settings on a private Github with me, but only after a couple weeks of forum hunting and Googling. That got me thinking - there has to be a better, faster way to do this..
I put together www.slicershare.com to make sharing slicer setting files dead easy. You can browse for slicer settings by filament, printer, slicer software or any keywords. You can leave feedback on any settings you try. For those of you that have dialed in slicer settings for a new filament or a particular model, you can host settings on SlicerShare and point back to them easily, without needing to go to Github, Dropbox, etc.
This is still early in development, so expect improvements to the UI and functionality (particularly in managing the profiles you've uploaded). I’d love to get your feedback the website, as well as answer any questions you might have. Thanks for taking the time to check this out!
