Ahoy Cura Users Who Jumped Ship!

After many and varied, niggly problems I am doing my first print sliced with PrusaSlicer...

I have a spreadsheet full of Cura settings and reasons for failure and it was a tad disconcerting slicing something with PrusaSlicer and feeling that I know nothing and my previous settings were both meaningless and/or the terminology was something different!

If you have switched, would you be prepared to share your bullet points of pitfalls, warnings, etc., please?

RE: Ahoy Cura Users Who Jumped Ship!

While there are some basic similarities between any two slicers, I think you'll find that there's no 1:1 dictionary swap for settings. If you understand generally what the Cura settings do, you can figure out PrusaSlicer settings that do more or less the same thing, but each slicer handles details its own way. I would suggest you instead work with the basic PrusaSlicer profiles, changing only one thing at a time until you get good results. Once your close, pull out your Cura settings and look for fine-tuning possibilities.

If you'd care to post your Cura settings, I and I'm sure others will be happy to point you towards PrusaSlicer equivalents, or at least methods of accomplishing the same thing. At least where possible. Some features (e.g., tree supports) simply don't exist in PrusaSlicer and vice-versa.

I've got a bunch of notes on PrusaSlicer that might help you get started.
