How to export slicer settings/profiles from OrcaSlicer

Easily package up your custom profiles - printers, filaments, and processes - from OrcaSlicer, so you can import them directly into SimplyPrint.

1. Launch OrcaSlicer


Start OrcaSlicer on the computer that already has the custom print-profile(s) you want to export.

2. Open the export menu


In the top-left corner, go to "File" > "Export" > "Export Preset Bundle…".


3. Choose an export type


Select the preset type that matches what you want to export:
Printer config bundle (.orca_printer)
Entire printer setup - custom printer config, connected filaments and connected print profiles/process presets.
Filament bundle (.orca_filament)
Custom filaments with printer connections.
Printer presets (.zip)
Custom printer configs.
Filament presets (.zip)
Custom filament configs.
Process presets (.zip)
Custom print profiles/process presets.


Not sure what each type means? Here's where you normally manage them in OrcaSlicer:


4. Select the presets you want


You'll now see a list of your custom configurations. Tick the ones you want to export.

Click "OK" to continue.

If the list is empty, it means you haven't made custom changes for that category yet.

5. Save your preset file


When the file manager opens:
Choose a folder you'll remember
Save the file

6. Done!


Back in OrcaSlicer, you'll see a confirmation that the export was successful.

Click "Yes" to close the dialog.

You can now import the preset file(s) into the SimplyPrint slicer!
