Trying to print a new .gcode file on the CR-10S Pro V2 from SD card, but when trying to start the print, I just get an error on the screen that says "In the Pause" at top-left. The printer does not even try to reach temperature, and stop/pause does nothing. The print never starts.

Prusa MINI underextrusion and clogging after the first layer, and how to fix it!

While one can easily generate a brim in PrusaSlicer or SuperSlicer, sometimes it's a bit overkill. Instead, learn how to generate Brim Ears with SuperSlicer (Mouse Ears) on just those troublesome corners of your print!

For those looking to get a bit more functionality, options, and usability from PrusaSlicer (Prusa's Slic3r), there is a great option out there called SuperSlicer. However, due to the nature of this fork of PrusaSlicer, it's not necessarily clear nor straight-forward how to download and install SuperSlicer. SO, here's how!

[SOLVED] Printing on my Prusa Mini or i3 MK3S, I consistently have gaps in my top layer right around the edges. The outside perimeter and the top layer infill have tiny gaps. I've set my first layer Z offset appropriately, ensured I'm printing at the right temperature, and used the pattern I feel would work best, and still have these gaps. 

[SOLVED] I am printing a model with a textured design.  The prints come out with a surface dotted with random bits of PLA and some stringing when it should be that nice texture. I'd like to try turning off the z-hop.  How do I do this?

[SOLVED] On each new print using the Original Prusa MINI printer, the first layer calibration is printing at a different Z-offset than previous set. The value is the same, but the actual distance of the nozzle to the heated bed has changed. The first layer is now too high above the bed, or too low. 

Recently, I started using SuperSlicer as I was getting frustrated with the gaps in my solid top infill around the edges of my prints. Someone in the Facebook Prusa group suggested I try it out, and so far I've appreciated the extra settings. However, I noticed that nowhere online seems to show the different top layer settings that SuperSlicer has to offer - more specifically, what they actually look like. Until now, of course!

[SOLVED] Every once in awhile, I've run into this issue where my slicer simply will not launch. It will pretend to launch, but then just hangs with a white screen. I have to kill the app to get it to close. It seemingly happens without reason and continues after a restart of the PC. This is only happening on my Windows 10 machine, but can affect PrusaSlicer, SuperSlicer, and/or Simplify3D (S3D).
