I have stl files stored in my hard drive and cura can find them but they do not show up in prusa slicer. I had a similar problem with windows 3d viewer and I deleted that application to see if iether slicer would find it and it worked for cura but not prusa slicer. Am I doing some thing wrong or is this a glitch?

Description of the bug

I have stl files stored in my hard drive and Cura can find them but they do not show up in Prusa Slicer. I had a similar problem with windows 3d viewer and I deleted that application to see if iether slicer would find it and it worked for Cura but not Prusa Slicer. Am I doing some thing wrong or is this a glitch?

I hope to figure this out because I like the Prusa slicer and want to have a Prusia printer soon and I am excited about the print farm software you are working on.

Hello, @andrewleemccluskey ,

I hope that I understood correctly, I can not open attached pdf file...

In PrusaSlicer exist two way how to open file.

1. Open project (CTRL+O), this way you can open 3mf files with all settings
2. Import (CTRL+I), this will import only 3D file like stl, step, obj, + 3mf without settings only geometry

additional:

3. You can either drag and drop it directly to the PrusaSlicer window

So if you want to import to PrusaSlicer only the stl file, ty to chose the second way CTRL+I

Thank you, have a nice day
