Preserve before install
Export Config Bundle to capture all profiles; a single Export Config contains only the selected presets.
Open official preservation source ↗First validation after update
Load the bundle in a test data directory, save imported presets, then compare Preview and G-code before replacing an established setup.

Good to know
Slic3r is the original open-source project started in 2011 to turn 3D models into printer toolpaths and G-code. It provides a desktop Plater, detailed configuration and a scriptable command-line interface.
Sources reviewed:Where it fits
It remains distinctive for lean RepRap-era workflows and batch automation: the same slicer can be driven from its GUI or scripted with explicit export and print settings.
Install and update note
Windows is distributed as a ZIP without an installer; keep the libexec folder beside the executables. On macOS, drag the app from the DMG to Applications. On Linux, extract and run the shell script, and install the distro’s freeglut package as noted on the download page.

- CLI starts from factory defaults unless a configuration is supplied with --load
Make settings explicit in automation; command-line mode may not inherit the active GUI presets.

- Contains
- STL · geometry only

Common questions
Which model formats does Slic3r accept?
The manual lists STL, OBJ, AMF and 3MF.
Check the source ↗Can Slic3r be automated from the command line?
Yes. It can slice models, export several formats and receive the GUI’s slicing options as command-line switches.
Check the source ↗What is the Plater?
It is the workspace for loading and arranging one or more models before slicing.
Check the source ↗Does the Windows package use an installer?
No. Extract the ZIP and run Slic3r.exe; do not move or delete the adjacent libexec folder.

Original Slic3r profiles
This is the original Slic3r project, separate from PrusaSlicer and its forks. Check printer, filament and print presets before reusing an older configuration.
Project documentation ↗A project file is not an installer
A .3mf file holds model or project data. Opening it does not install the slicer. After opening a project, check the printer, nozzle and material settings.
Check the official requirements
Files are hosted by the developers. Before installing, check their system requirements and release notes. A file labelled for your platform does not establish the minimum OS version.
