Updating Guide
Make sure to have only one instance of SuperSlicer installed on your computer. Having multiple version of SuperSlicer may cause unexpected slicing behavior.
If you have already installed a version of AON3D SuperSlicer before, make sure you have the latest version of the .ini file.
.ini file is the configuration file that stores all the information about the printer, filaments, and process settings.
The latest version could include, but not necessarily, changes to material profiles, printer configs, etc.
Follow the instructions below to do so:
- Download the latest version of the zipped configuration file from the SuperSlicer Changelogs page.
- Unzip the AON3D_SS_Update-vX.X.zip folder. Inside the unzipped folder you will see the AON3D.ini file.
- Open AON3D SuperSlicer, and navigate to Help > Show Configuration Folder.
- In the file explorer window that pops up, navigate to vendor folder.
- REPLACE the .ini file inside, with the new AON3D.ini file from Step 2.
- Restart SuperSlicer.
- Go to Configuration and select Configuration Wizard.
- Navigate to Filaments at the bottom of the menu. Select the desired printer configuration and filter filaments by polymer type or vendor. AON3D recommends selecting All for a basic installation.
- Click Finish to close the Configuration Wizard and access the UI of SuperSlicer. If you see the following window, Congratulations! You are all set!
