OSX Slic3r configs? September 19, 2012 07:52PM |

Hi!
Love Repetier-Host. I and several members of the Vancouver Hack Space are using the OSX edition quite a lot now.
I'm building a Prusa and I need to customize my Slic3r config to match my machine. When I save out the config I can see the file is on the HD but I can't get Repetier-host 0.32 to recognize it and let me use the settings.
Where do I put the file so it all connects together?
Thank you!

The new hosts use the configuration system introduced with Slic3r 0.9.0. The way it works is this:
1. User selects Print, Printer and Filament configuration. These are stored in
/Libraray/Application Support/Slic3r/print
/Libraray/Application Support/Slic3r/printer
/Libraray/Application Support/Slic3r/filament
2. The selected files are put into one new file that is fed to slic3r.
3. Slic3r is called with the combined file as input.
So to get it working with older version do the following:
a) make an empty file empty.ini in two of these directories.
b) save the configuration in the third directory.
c) select the 2 empty files and the saved configuration.
d) Make sure the slic3r executable is set to the version you want to use.
BTW: This also works with windows, except that the slic3r folders are at a different location.

You sure about that? There's no Slic3r folder in Application Support (version 0.9.9, os x 10.8.2).
Please help! I've been looking for the location of my own Slic3r profiles for ages. I need to install Repetier on a PC but I can't copy the Slic3r config files

Actually, it is not fully correct. The path is relative to your home directory. So the complete path is
/Users//Libraray/Application Support/Slic3r
The Library folder is invisible by default, so enable show of invisible folders to find it.
