Gcode help

So I have only ever downloaded stl files before now. I just got the Thanos bust Gcode and I know I can just drop that on the sd card and run, but how would I get this to load in Slic3r if I wanted to change something? i.e. material , speed ect. I feel like I'm missing something important here. 

Thanks ahead. T

Simple answer: you can't.  At least I am not aware of any gcode to stl tool, and any such conversion would be prone to all sorts of errors.  STL is a three dimensional language defining surfaces using multipoint plane vectors - as used in FDM, gcode is primarily a two dimensional robotic control language, with a third dimension tossed in an afterthought.

However, I think you can use the Tune feature of the printer to adjust some things.  I adjusted the flow from 1 to .95, for example.  You can import G-code to Prusa Control but as it isn't as robust as Slic3r the things you want to adjust may not be supported.
