Here's how to add 3D-Fuel filament profiles to OrcaSlicer. These steps also work in slicers built on OrcaSlicer, such as Snapmaker Orca and Elegoo Slicer.
1. Download the profile
Download the profile file for your material and printer:
| Material | Profiles |
|---|---|
| Pro PCTG | Pro PCTG profiles, plus Matte Black and Pro PCTG-CF10 |
| Tough Pro PLA+ | Tough Pro PLA+ profiles |
| Standard PLA+ | Standard PLA+ profiles |
| Pro PETG | Not yet. Start from your slicer's generic PETG profile and use our Pro PETG print settings. |
| PET-CF | In progress. Use our PET-CF print settings for now. |
2. Import it into OrcaSlicer
- Open OrcaSlicer.
- Click File, hover over Import, and click Import Configs.
- Find the profile file (or files) you downloaded, select them, and click Open.
- If you see a message like "A config exists with the same name… do you want to replace it?", click Yes or Yes to All. This overwrites any existing profile with the same name.
- You should then see "There is X config imported." The number should match how many files you selected. Click OK.
- Select the printer and nozzle size the profile was made for. The imported profile appears in the filament drop-down under User Presets (sometimes labeled Custom).
Import the process profile too
Some of our downloads include a process profile along with the filament profile. Import both. The filament profile sets temperature, cooling, and flow, but speeds and acceleration live in the process profile.
A note on Bambu Studio profiles: OrcaSlicer can import them, but a profile built for one slicer may not behave exactly the same in another. If a material has a profile made for your printer in OrcaSlicer format, use that one.
Profile not showing up?
The most common cause is having a different printer or nozzle selected than the one the profile was built for. Restarting the slicer also helps. See Importing profiles and fixing profiles that won’t show up for more fixes.
