# Slic3r plugin for OctoPrint
**WARNING**
This plugin has been successfully tested for the following cases:
1. Linux: Slic3r's stable versions 1.1.7 and 1.2.9 (tests done under a Raspberry Pi 2, but it should work for other Linux distributions).
2. Linux: Also tested with [Slic3r Prusa Edition](https://github.com/prusa3d/Slic3r) version 1.33.8 and 2.3. You might need TBB using [these instructions](https://github.com/OctoPrint/OctoPrint-Slic3r/wiki/How-to-install-Slic3r-on-RPi).
3. Windows: Slic3r works for version 1.2.9, not doing it for version 1.1.7.
## Installing PrusaSlicer
Download either the [ARM version if you have a Raspberry Pi](https://github.com/davidk/PrusaSlicer-ARM.AppImage/releases) or get a version from the [PrusaSlicer download page](https://www.prusa3d.com/prusaslicer/).
Put that in a directory on the same device (Raspberry Pi or computer) that has OctoPrint. Then type:
```bash
chmod +x
```
To test that it works, run:
```bash
--version
```
## Setup
In order to install the plugin, go to Settings -> Plugin Manager and click on 'Get more...':
You'll see an option to add it from an URL. Add https://github.com/OctoPrint/OctoPrint-Slic3r/archive/master.zip an click on 'Install' button.
At this moment, the plugin will be installed, but Slic3r must be downloaded and configured, which can be done following these steps: https://github.com/OctoPrint/OctoPrint-Slic3r/wiki/How-to-install-Slic3r-on-RPi
1. Execute OctoPrint and go to Settings (or restart when you are asked after installing the plugin). Slic3r should appear in Plugins list:
2. In 'General', you should put the following path for the executable (supposing the execution of the script, the path would be /home/pi/Slic3r/slic3r.pl). Note: If running in Windows, write the path to slic3r-console:
3. Before importing the profile, you have to export a file with the Slic3r's configuration. For that purpose, open Slic3r, and select File-> Export Config...
4. Save the file with the desired name (e.g. config.ini):
5. Once done, in 'Profiles' click 'Import Profile...' button:
6. Click on 'Browse...' and search for the profile. Once done, save with the name and identifier wished by clicking 'Confirm':
7. Click 'Save' to confirm Slic3r settings:
8. Now you can slice your stl files:
