Slicer profiles for 100+ 3D printers from Bambu Lab, Prusa, Creality, Anycubic, Elegoo and more, made for Bambu Studio, OrcaSlicer and PrusaSlicer. Choose your printer, nozzle, filament and print goal. 3D Print Assistant builds a practical starting profile with settings you can review and adjust. The core tools are free and need no account. MADE FOR YOUR PRINTER AND SLICER Pick from 100+ printers, including models from QIDI, Sovol, FlashForge, Artillery, Snapmaker and Voron. Each profile follows the slicer that fits the printer: Bambu Studio for Bambu Lab, PrusaSlicer for Prusa and OrcaSlicer for the other brands, with settings grouped under the same tabs as in the slicer. Can't find your printer? Answer four questions and start from a generic profile. FROM PROFILE TO SLICER Export a profile file your slicer can import when it has a matching preset for your printer and nozzle. For every other setup, share the profile as text and enter the values by hand. Switch between Simple for the essentials and Advanced for the full profile. YOUR SETUP, READY TO GO Save printers, nozzles and materials in My Gear. Pick a setup next time and skip the details you already know. Keep the profiles that work for you in Workshop. A CLEARER WAY TO CHOOSE MATERIALS Start from material profiles for PLA, PETG, ABS, ASA, TPU, nylon, PC and carbon fiber blends. Browse filament by category, compare popular choices and see useful details before you select a material. Inventory adds a searchable catalog of 2,089 filament products from 151 brands across 38 material types. KEEP FILAMENT IN VIEW Track spools in Inventory, including color, weight and status. Up to five active spools are free. Pro removes the limit, and with a 3DPA account it syncs Inventory across iPhone, iPad and the web app. GET HELP WITH THE NEXT STEP AI Expert can help explain settings, compare options and troubleshoot a print, also from a photo. It requires an internet connection and a 3DPA account, which you create by signing in with Apple or Google. A new account includes free credits to try it. Also included: a pre-print checklist. The core printing tools work offline after installation; AI Expert and sync need an internet connection. Available in English, Danish, German and Russian.
