DangerMouse I’m completely new to all this so please be considerate if I ask an obvious question. I have a Geeetech Acrylic Prusa I3 Pro B 3D printer and I am going through the Repetier manual. I have successfully reached the section on slicing and found that I have several options of which slicer to use. Can anyone direct me to a web page that outlines the pros and cons of each one. On my installation of Repetier it comes up initially with slic3r selected and the manager shows 2 others listed “CuraEngine” and “slic3r Prusia Edition” and a button to add more but the Manual shows 2 more Skienforge and “Big Brother”. I don’t want to spend ages experimenting with the settings in slic3r only to find that there is a better one. Many thanks if you can advise.
Repetier Slic3r prusa edition is the best in your case. It even has good slicing presets for prusa, also these are for the original prusa, but i guess they are a good start.
DangerMouse Many thanks I will give that a go. Now you say it, I can see that I was stupid not to notice the word Prusa is in the description of my printer and in the name of the slicer. i think it was because I was concentrating so hard on the manual.
