#### PrusaSlicer converts 3D models into instructions for 3D printers.

PrusaSlicer takes 3D models (STL, OBJ, AMF) and converts them into G-code instructions
for FFF printers or PNG layers for mSLA 3D printers. It's compatible with any modern printer
based on the RepRap toolchain, including all those based on the Marlin, Prusa, Sprinter and
Repetier firmware. It also works with Mach3, LinuxCNC and Machinekit controllers.

PrusaSlicer is based on Slic3r by Alessandro Ranelucci and the RepRap community

Check upstream - <https://github.com/prusa3d/PrusaSlicer> - for more info about the project.

Connect following interfaces, in order to be able to save G-CODE directly to SD cards.

`sudo snap connect prusa-slicer:mount-observe`

`sudo snap connect prusa-slicer:udisks2`
