# 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:
1. **Printer config bundle (.orca_printer)**
  *Entire printer setup - custom printer config, connected filaments and connected print profiles/process presets.*
2. **Filament bundle (.orca_filament)**

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:
1. Choose a folder you'll remember
2. 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!
