SuperSlicer is an open-source fork of the PrusaSlicer application. It works quickly and efficiently and can help you get the most out of your 3D printer. Here\u2019s how to use SuperSlicer on your Linux PC.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Installing SuperSlicer on Linux<\/h2>\n

SuperSlicer works on various Linux operating systems through an AppImage or the Arch Linux AUR. To install SuperSlicer on your Linux PC, you must open up a terminal window.<\/p>\n

To launch a terminal window on the Linux desktop, press Ctrl + Alt + T<\/strong> on the keyboard. Or, search for \u201cTerminal\u201d in the app menu and launch it that way. Once the terminal window is open, follow the installation instructions below that match the Linux OS you currently use.<\/p>\n

Ubuntu\/Debian<\/h4>\n

On Ubuntu, you can compile the SuperSlicer app with the AppImage release. The AppImage is specifically designed to run on Ubuntu, and it reflects that on the \u201creleases\u201d page on Github.<\/p>\n

Note: Debian is very similar to Ubuntu except for a few things. Debian users should be able to follow the Ubuntu instructions just fine.<\/p>\n

To get your hands on the latest SuperSlicer AppImage for Ubuntu, make use of the wget<\/strong> command down below.<\/p>\n

GTK 3<\/strong><\/p>\n

\nwget https:\/\/github.com\/supermerill\/SuperSlicer\/releases\/download\/2.3.57.8\/SuperSlicer-ubuntu_18.04-gtk3-2.3.57.8.AppImage\n<\/pre>\n
GTK 2<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nwget https:\/\/github.com\/supermerill\/SuperSlicer\/releases\/download\/2.3.57.8\/SuperSlicer-ubuntu_18.04-gtk2-2.3.57.8.AppImage\n<\/pre>\n
After downloading the latest AppImage file to your computer, follow our guide on how to set up the AppImageLauncher tool. AppImageLauncher makes setting up the SuperSlicer AppImage much easier.<\/p>\n
Once you\u2019ve set up the AppImageLauncher tool, open up the Linux file manager, click on the home folder, select the SuperSlicer AppImage and integrate it to your system with AppImageLauncher.<\/p>\n
Arch Linux<\/h4>\n
The SuperSlicer app is available in the Arch Linux AUR. To get it working on your system, start by installing the \u201cgit\u201d and \u201cbase-devel\u201d packages on your computer.<\/p>\n
\nsudo pacman -S git base-devel\n<\/pre>\n
With the two packages set up on your computer, run the git clone<\/strong> command to download the Trizen AUR helper. Then, install it with the makepkg<\/strong> command. Trizen will make setting up SuperSlicer much easier.<\/p>\n
\ngit clone https:\/\/aur.archlinux.org\/trizen.git\ncd trizen\/\nmakepkg -sri\n<\/pre>\n
Finally, with the Trizen tool installed on your system, use the trizen -S<\/strong> command to install the SuperSilcer app.<\/p>\n
\ntrizen -S superslicer-bin\n<\/pre>\n
AppImage Generic Linux<\/h4>\n
Although the AppImage for SuperSlicer is labeled \u201cUbuntu,\u201d users can still use it on a wide variety of Linux operating systems. To get it working, start by setting up the AppImageLauncher program on your computer by following our setup guide.<\/p>\n
With the AppImageLauncher tool set up, use the wget<\/strong> command to download the latest AppImage. Then, open up the Linux file manager and double-click on the AppImage to integrate it with your system.<\/p>\n
GTK 3<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nwget https:\/\/github.com\/supermerill\/SuperSlicer\/releases\/download\/2.3.57.8\/SuperSlicer-ubuntu_18.04-gtk3-2.3.57.8.AppImage\n<\/pre>\n
GTK 2<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nwget https:\/\/github.com\/supermerill\/SuperSlicer\/releases\/download\/2.3.57.8\/SuperSlicer-ubuntu_18.04-gtk2-2.3.57.8.AppImage\n<\/pre>\n
Configuring SuperSlicer on Linux<\/h2>\n
To configure SuperSlicer on Linux, start by launching the app via the app menu. Once the app is open, follow the step-by-step instructions below.<\/p>\n
Step 1:<\/strong> With the app open, the welcome screen will appear. Find the \u201cNext\u201d button at the bottom of the screen and click on it to move to the next page.<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
Step 2:<\/strong> You must select your printer. Look through the list of printers available in SuperSlicer and click on the box next to your 3D printer. SuperSlicer supports various printers, including ANycubic, Creality, Prusa, MakerGear, and more.<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
Step 3:<\/strong> You must now select your filament profile selection. By default, all are selected (PLA, PETG, and ABS.) However, if you wish to modify the filament selections, go through the list and change them. When done, click \u201cNext.\u201d<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
Step 4:<\/strong> You\u2019ll next need to configure automatic updates. By default, SuperSlicer is not configured to deal with updates. Check the \u201cCheck for application updates\u201d and \u201cUpdate built-in Presets automatically\u201d to enable updates. Click \u201cNext\u201d to move to the next page.<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
Step 5:<\/strong> If you\u2019d like to export full pathnames of models and parts, check the \u201cExport full pathnames\u201d box. Otherwise, leave it blank if you do not know what this setting does. Click \u201cNext\u201d when done to move to the next page.<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
Step 6:<\/strong> You must now configure your view mode. The default view mode is \u201cSimple.\u201d If you\u2019re a beginner, we recommend keeping it here. However, select \u201cAdvanced\u201d or \u201cExport \u201d if you are more advanced.\u201d<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
Want to use imperial instead of metric? Select the \u201cUse inches\u201d button. Click \u201cFinish\u201d when done.<\/p>\n
How to use SuperSlicer<\/h2>\n
To use SuperSlicer, start by launching the app. Then, head over to Thangs, or Thingiverse, and download an STL model file. You can also import your own model files from Blender, Tinkercad, etc.<\/p>\n
Once you\u2019ve got your file, click on the \u201cFile\u201d button, and look for \u201cImport.\u201d After selecting \u201cImport,\u201d select \u201cImport STL\u201d to import your model file. Finally, browse for the STL file to add it to SuperSlicer.<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
Find the \u201d Slice now \u201d button after adding the STL file to SuperSlicer; find the \u201cSlice now\u201d button. Click on it to automatically prepare the model for printing on your 3D printer. Then, find the \u201cExport G-code\u201d button to save it as a Gcode file for your 3d printer.<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
Transfer the G-code file to an SD card (or another storage device) and place the file on your 3D printer to print it.<\/p>\n
