Importing a Profile into Slicer

General Importing Tips:

• Download the slicer profile you want to use, making sure it’s compatible with your slicer and printer model. The file is often in formats like .ini, .json, .3mf, .zip, or a specific profile extension.

• Open your slicer software and find the menu option for importing profiles—this is usually under “File” or “Settings,” then “Import” or “Profiles.”

• Select “Import,” then browse to and select your downloaded profile file.

• Confirm the import; your new profile should appear in the list of available print, filament, or machine profiles, ready to be selected for your next print job.

• For some slicers, you may need to activate or assign the profile to a printer or filament type after importing.

• Always double-check print settings after importing to ensure compatibility with your printer and material, as profiles are sometimes designed for specific setups.​

Following these steps works for popular slicers such as Cura, PrusaSlicer, Bambu Studio, OrcaSlicer, and ideaMaker.

Do I need to import a filament preset profile if the slicer already has one?

Most slicers have generic guidelines for material types and they can work as good starting points. But if you want a fine tuned preset made by Polymaker for our materials - we would suggest using one of our Filament Preset Profiles we have made.
