How to copy, edit, and save filament profiles

Filament profiles control slicer settings for a material, such as nozzle temperature, bed temperature, flow, cooling, and filament-specific behavior.

Filament and filament profiles are different

The filament selection tells Cloud Slicer what material or spool you want to use.


The filament profile tells the slicer engine which filament settings to use for the sliced G-code. Temperature settings come from the slicer filament profile, not from the normal SimplyPrint spool record.


Copy a filament profile

  1. Open Slicer.
  2. Select the printer and machine profile.
  3. Select a filament or material.
  4. Open the filament profile selector.
  5. Choose Copy selected.
  6. Name the new profile.
  7. Adjust the profile details if needed.
  8. Save the new profile.


Use a clear name that includes the material, brand, and printer or nozzle when relevant.


Edit a filament profile

  1. Open the filament profile selector.
  2. Click the edit action for the profile.
  3. Change the profile name, material filters, nozzle filters, or slicer settings.
  4. Click Save.


If you close the editor with unsaved changes, the changes can still apply to the current slicer session. Save the profile if you want to reuse those changes later.


Save temperature changes

Nozzle and bed temperatures are stored in the filament profile settings.


  1. Edit the filament profile.
  2. Search for temperature settings.
  3. Change the relevant nozzle or bed temperature values.
  4. Save the profile.
  5. Slice again.


Why a filament profile may not appear

Filament profiles are matched to the current slicer setup. A profile may be hidden if it does not match the selected engine, printer model, nozzle size, nozzle volume type, material type, filament brand, or filament database entry.


Changing the filament or nozzle can therefore change the available filament profiles.
