Configure Slic3r - Part II

I wonder if this five attachment limit is part of the hosting issues?

There are actually a whole bunch of steps that need to be followed to configure Slic3r.  This is for version 1.2.9 in Linux, so hopefully it has gotten better.

First, even File->Load Config... was wrong, as there were multiple configuration items in the 200micronBASIC.ini file.  The correct selection was File->Load Config Bundle...

   

Same file dialog as before, same 200micronBASIC.ini selection.  This time, slightly different result:

   

But, poking around looking at the settings, they still do not match what the 200micronBASIC.ini file says.  Even exiting and restarting Slic3r does not help.  That is because I was not done with the configuration.

File->Preferences brings up a dialog that lets me choose a "Mode."  Default is "Simple."  We need "Expert" to finish the configuration.

   

Don't panic.  In expert mode, we are simply going to select three configurations, and let Slic3r do the heavy lifting for us.  Clicking OK induces a popup:

   

And NOW we can restart Slic3r.

Upon restart, there are now three new pick lists on the Plater tab.  These should all be set to "200micronBASIC".  They were not.  So I set them, exited, and restarted Slic3r.  They now come up as the defaults.

   

To further verify things.  I went to the Print Settings tab, and observed that the layer height/first layer height were 0.2/0.25 just as it is in the 200micronBASIC.ini file.  On the Filament Settings tab, I observed that the filament width changed from Slic3r's default of 3 to 1.74, just as it is in the 200micronBASIC.ini file.  On the Printer Settings Tab, I clicked on the Set button under "Bed Shape" and observed that the rectangular dimensions had changed from Slic3r's default of 200x200 to 175x175, just as it is in the 200micronBASIC.ini file.

At this point, I shut down and declared victory.

In other news, my radiator surgery was successful.  This may free up more build nights for playing with the OneUp.  And in case you are thinking that I am always having coolant issues with this car, last year the heater core was on my other car (which is currently down for other maintnence issues).

In any event, tune in next time for another thrilling step forward.  Same Bat-Forum, Same Bat-Thread.
