•
On the “Print Settings” page, click the “Save” icon button next to the configuration file
name “Artifex2 PLA.ini”. A window will pop up for you to enter the name of current
Print Settings (Figure 3.5). Here, we just use the same name as the configuration file
“Artifex2 PLA”. Then, click “OK”. Do the same to save filament settings and printer
settings under the name “Artifex2 PLA”. Then, close the Slic3r program window.

On the Slicer page of Repetier-Host interface, select “Artifex2 PLA” for Print Settings,
Printer Settings, and Filament Settings (Extruder 1) (Figure 3.2).
•
Click the “Slice with Slic3r” button. Once the slicing is completed, the Repetier-Host
will look like what shown in Figure 3.6, which is the same as what you saw in the last
chapter when you directly loaded a pre-generated G-code file.
