How to Upload Presets

Share your tested slicer profiles and help the community

Why Share Your Profiles?

When you share your tested profiles, you help others avoid frustration, save time, and reduce wasted filament. Every profile you upload makes 3D printing easier for someone else!

Before You Start

Create an account - You need to be registered and logged in to upload presets. Sign up here if you haven't already.

Test your profile - Only upload profiles you've personally tested and know work well. Print at least one successful model to verify quality.

Export from your slicer - Save your profile/preset as a file. The exact process varies by slicer software.

Add Tags (Optional but Recommended)

Tags help users discover your preset through search:

Use tags that describe the use case, quality level, speed, special features, or specific filament brands/types.

Upload Best Practices

Be specific in titles - Include printer model, material, and key characteristics (e.g., "speed" or "quality")
Write helpful descriptions - Mention what you tested it on, print quality achieved, and any caveats
Include photos if possible - Upload example prints showing the quality achieved with your profile
Mention modifications - If your printer has upgrades (e.g., hardened nozzle, direct drive), note this in the description
Only share tested profiles - Don't upload untested or experimental profiles without clearly marking them as such
