Slic3r
Command Line Usage
Slic3r can also be used from the command line instead of via the GUI, as
part of a script, or as part of another tool, such as Printrun
17
.
All options found in the GUI can be used from the command line in the
form of switch parameters. The latest version of these are given below, and
the most up-to-date information can be found by issuing the command:
perl slic3r.pl --help
Preset configurations can be loaded from a .ini file using the
--load
option, and options can be overridden further on the command line, e.g.
perl slic3r.pl --load config.ini --layer-height 0.25
file.stl
