Slicer Profiles

Key Concepts​

Slicer profiles are the collections of print settings—layer height, infill, speed, temperature, and hundreds of other parameters—that control how your 3D models are converted into G-code. Printago syncs profiles from your Bambu Lab account or lets you import them directly from Bambu Studio and OrcaSlicer, so the same profiles you've tuned locally become available across your entire fleet. Profiles fall into three categories: machine profiles (printer-specific hardware settings), process profiles (quality and behavior settings like "0.20mm Standard"), and filament profiles (material-specific temperatures and flow rates tied to each material in your library). Because Printago slices on demand using these profiles, updating a setting once automatically affects all future prints that use it—no need to re-export G-code for every printer and material combination. This is especially valuable for farms where a single profile tweak needs to roll out across dozens of machines instantly.

Slicer Profiles

Getting Profiles into Printago​

There are two ways to add slicer profiles to Printago:

Option 1: Bambu Lab Cloud Sync​

Run the Bambu Lab Integration Flow to sync profiles from your Bambu Lab account. This requires Cloud Sync to be enabled in Bambu Studio or OrcaSlicer.

Option 2: Manual Import​

Import profiles manually by exporting preset bundles from Bambu Studio or OrcaSlicer and uploading them directly to Printago. This works without cloud sync and gives you control over exactly which profiles to import.

Managing Your Profiles​

Searching Profiles​

You can search through your profile list to quickly narrow down and find specific profiles.

Deleting Profiles​

Profiles can be deleted directly from the Printago interface. However, note that:

  • Deleting profiles from your Bambu account alone won't delete them from Printago
  • You must delete them from within Printago to remove them from your list

Editing Profiles​

Click on any profile to open the edit view, where you can:

  • Rename the profile
  • View all settings including both your custom overrides ("Own") and inherited values from the base profile ("Inherited")
  • Copy settings to clipboard
  • Lock the profile to prevent accidental changes

Profile Inheritance and Slicer Versions​

Most profiles inherit from a base profile (e.g., 0.20mm Strength @BBL X1C). Printago maintains multiple versions of these base profiles from different slicer releases.

Profile Version Dropdown

Use the slicer version dropdown to:

  • Compare inherited values across different Bambu Studio and OrcaSlicer versions
  • Select which slicer version the inherited values should come from when cloud slicing

This is useful when:

  • A newer slicer version changed default settings you relied on
  • You want to use OrcaSlicer's interpretation of a profile instead of Bambu Studio's
  • You need to troubleshoot differences in slicing behavior between versions

The selected slicer version determines which base profile values are used when the Cloud Slicer generates GCODE for your prints
