Importing Profile into IdeaMaker

  • Open ideaMaker on your computer.

  • Click the Library button in the top toolbar to access the ideaMaker Library.

  • Browse or search in the Library for the slicing profile you want to import.

  • On the profile detail page, click “Import to ideaMaker.”

  • A pop-up will appear asking you to copy the import link; click Copy.

  • Return to ideaMaker; a template download window should open automatically.

  • Click “Download” to fetch the slicing profile file.

  • After downloading, click “Next” to open the Import Slicing Template window.

  • Fill in any project details as needed; the basic info will auto-fill.

  • Select whether to import the profile to an existing printer or create a new printer profile.

  • If importing to an existing printer, select it from the drop-down menu.

  • If creating a new printer, edit settings as required in the prompted interface.

  • Assign filament profiles if the slicing profile corresponds to specific filaments, or create new filament profiles as needed.

  • Save the template settings to complete the import.

  • If the download window does not open automatically, enable monitoring clipboard downloads in Preferences or manually paste the import link in the import dialog.

  • The imported profile will now be available for slicing with the selected printer and filament.

This method leverages ideaMaker’s integration with its online Library but local imports of .bin files are also supported via the Template menu. The interface provides onscreen prompts guiding you through each step
