NAME

slic3r-prusa3d - manual Slice 3D models into G-Code for 3D-printing

SYNOPSIS

slic3r-prusa3d [ OPTIONS ] [ file.stl ] [ file2.stl ] ...

DESCRIPTION

Slic3r Prusa3D is a STL-to-GCODE translator for RepRap 3D printers written by Alessandro Ranellucci <aar@cpan.org> - http://slic3r.org/

OPTIONS

Common options:

Output this usage screen and exit
Output the version of Slic3r and exit
Save configuration to the specified file
Load configuration from the specified file. It can be used more than once to load options from multiple files.
into the same directory as the input file using the --output-filename-format to generate the filename.) If a directory is specified for this option, the output will be saved under that directory, and the filename will be generated by --output-filename-format.

Non-slicing actions (no G-code will be generated):

Repair given STL files and save them as <name>_fixed.obj
Cut given input files at given Z (relative) and export them as <name>_upper.stl and <name>_lower.stl
Split the shells contained in given STL file into several STL files
Output information about the supplied file(s) and exit

-j, --threads <num> Number of threads to use (1+, default: 4)

GUI options:

Forces the GUI launch instead of command line slicing (if you supply a model file, it will be loaded into the plater)
Disable the plater tab
Automatically export current configuration to the specified file

Output options:

Output file name format; all config options enclosed in brackets will be replaced by their values, as well as [input_filename_base] and [input_filename] (default: [input_filename_base].gcode)
Generated G-code will be processed with the supplied script; call this more than once to process through multiple scripts.
