Sometimes, organizations want to ensure that different slicing profiles are available for different 3D Printers or organizational departments or groups.
Managing slicing profiles is essential if you care about the quality of the prints. 3DPrinterOS provides multiple possibilities for that:
By default, all the users in the organization have access to all the slicing profiles that the organization's admins created
Show/hide
An admin can hide profiles from the Slicers by turning off the toggle in the first column next to the profile name
Delete
An admin can delete slicing profiles so they won't appear in the active list.
It's also possible to restore the profiles from the deleted page.
Rename
Just click on the profile name to rename it
Access
You can manage the workgroups that have access to specific slicing profiles
Organizational-wide Slicing profile settings
Disable 3DPrinterOS Default Slicing Profiles
Regular users will only see the profiles created by adminsTurn off the possibility to create and edit slicing profiles for Regular users
The Button "Save these settings as a slicing profile..." disappears.
Before
After
The Profiles page will also disappear from the main menu
Price, temperature, and speed parameters in all slicers will be turned off for Regular users as well (see Extruder(•C) is disabled in the screenshot above)
Remove the ability to overwrite other Slicing profiles for Regular Users
Users can overwrite only their profiles or create new ones based on other users' profiles.
This setting is disabled if you've limited access to creating slicing profiles for regular users
Hide 3D printers without Slicing Profiles from Slicers
Only 3D printers with Slicing profiles will be shown in Layout/Slice
Recommendation: Use this setting with ''Disable 3DPrinterOS Default Slicing Profiles''
Then, you need to create your slicing profiles. Thus, the list of 3D Printers in applications will be much shorter for the rest of the organization's users.
Please contact support@3dprinteros.com if you'd like more flexibility with slicing profiles.
