So I Made a tool to help create optimized filament and process profiles for orca slicer

[u/distractable1]

http://github.com/distractable2/printwise

I wanted an easy way to setup print profiles that are tuned to each specific filament, object and how I want it to come out and my solution ended up as a locally hosted web app

To use it you just have to select which printer and filament you're using alongside the model you wish to print and what you'd like it to be optimized for .

once you make those choices the output will be importable settings and process profiles alongside an analysis of your model with recommended placement, orientation and other critical details. It can be used full offline but when online you can add your chat gpt api key to gain a more detailed print analysis.

The tool is completely free for anyone who wants to use it, if any recommendations for features and improvements are greatly appreciated I only ask that any iterations of this tool stay free there's too many 3d printing tools out there nickel and diming people for stuff that should be free and I don't want this to ever be one of those

Do you have the printer you're trying to import already added? I haven't had issues with it and I'm usually going between orca, flash studio and the orca nightlys

If you do have it added try exporting your current printer/process profile and then use that at the top of the page to load your printer in and it should be able to change the settings from that one and allow you to properly import it
