Free software and how can I use it with my own printer?

Hi.

Looking into an alternative Slicer and heard of PrusaSlicer. I'd like to know if it is free software, or if not, where can I purchase it. And secondly, can I use this with my own printer? B2X300 from BEEVERYCREATIVE, with a Marlin controller. If so, how would I go about it?

RE: Free software and how can I use it with my own printer?

You can download PrusaSlicer here. It is open source and free, developed and maintained by Prusa Research. You can use it with your B2X300, but you're likely to need to create a profile for the printer. If you have existing gcode sliced with another slicer, there may be values you can extract for input into PrusaSlicer. PrusaSlicer is also based on Slic3r, so if you have a printer profile for that slicer (PrusaSlicer is based on earlier Slic3r) you may be able to import it.
