Setting Up The Script

SAFC officialy supports the mainstream slicers derived from Slic3r, these being PrusaSlicer, SuperSlicer, BambuStudio and OrcaSlicer

  1. Download the latest release for your specific platform by clicking on the link in the Assets dropdown menu.

  2. Once downloaded extract/uncompress the .zip file, then inside that folder, clicking through artifacts > SmallAreaFlowComp-vX.X.X-platform you will find the SmallAreaFlowComp application file, you will need to place this file in a folder where it will have permission to read and write to files in the same folder and read and write files that are where your slicer of choice is

Unsure of what permissions the SmallAreaFlowComp file has?

  • On Windows: Right Click > Properties > Security then Read, Write, Modify and Read & Execute need to be set to Allow
  • On MacOS: Select SmallAreaFlowComp then File > Get Info and under Sharing & Permissions by your account, it should have Read & Write Privilege
  1. Now the script is in a suitable location on your PC, in your slicer, you need to paste the path of the script into the post-process section, relavent information for each supported slicer is below:

PrusaSlicer/SuperSlicer:

  • Navigate to Post-processing scripts via Print Settings > Output options
  • Paste the path to the script into the Post-processing scripts text field

ps_post_process

BambuStudio/OrcaSlicer Pre V2.0.0 Beta:

  • Navigate to Post-processing scripts via Others (Advanced settings need to be on)
  • Paste the path to the script into the Post-processing scripts text field

bambustudio_post_process

Verify Everything Is Working As Expected:

  • Slice a model and export the file, if all is working correctly then a model.txt and log.txt file will be created in the same folder as the script (if they don't already exist)
  • You won't see any changes to the gcode unless you re-import the sliced G-code file back into your slicer, as the script is ran when exporting the sliced file initially

Help! Somthing Is Not Right!
