@sovol3d - A request/suggestion:
PrusaSlicer and Cura 5.2.x are two very popular slicer programs that lack profiles for current Sovol printers…
There have been several previous questions about this (including myself):
> [@Printer profiles for SV04](https://forum.sovol3d.com/t/printer-profiles-for-sv04/105):
>
> Putting it out there, hoping people will share their profiles for other slicer software. I’m currently interested in Ideamaker, but have zero idea how to setup a new printer profile…
> [@Prusa Slicer / Super Slicer Printer Profiles?](https://forum.sovol3d.com/t/prusa-slicer-super-slicer-printer-profiles/575):
>
> I was wondering if the team at Sovol has created printer profiles for Prusa Slicer / Super Slicer? I have been using the profiles made for their version of Cura and copied them into the latest build of Cura and that has been working so far but I wanted to try out Prusa for a few of its unique slicing abilities like painting on supports and how you can see individual layer details.
> [@SV05 profile for PrusaSlicer - anyone have one they can share?](https://forum.sovol3d.com/t/sv05-profile-for-prusaslicer-anyone-have-one-they-can-share/1369):
>
> Wondering if anyone has a PrusaSlicer profile for the SV05 that they are willing to share. I’m currently using the Creality Ender 5 profile, which AFAIK is “close enough” but would prefer to have a profile built specifically for the SV05.
> [@Cura Slice Profile](https://forum.sovol3d.com/t/cura-slice-profile/555):
>
> Hey Guys! I would like to know your settings to slice with cura. At the moment i stick to the default settings and get the best overall performance with 0.2 draft. Please post your ideas/profiles of the best overall settings. Maybe also post the max speed you can do. Thank you. slight_smile
Cura 5.2.2 has three Sovol printer profiles:
PrusaSlicer (current 2.5 release and 2.6 alpha 3) has no Sovol printer profiles at all:
Even the version of Cura that is shipped w/my SV05 doesn’t have an SV05 profile included!
It would really be helpful if you supported your brand by providing printer profiles for some of the top slicing software, so that customers can enter the 3D printing world smoothly. This seems like a very basic activity that should be prioritized. Appreciate your feedback on this request. Thanks! 🙂

hi @Danabw We appreciate you taking the time to provide advice on behalf of SV05 users. The engineer has been given priority in receiving your request for printer profiles for this particular software. Thank you again for your feedback!

Hello
I am using google translate ( my english is poor).
The sovol SV05 is practically the same as the Creality Ender5 S1. You could use the profile that prusaslicer brings for this machine. I have compiled the prusaslicer for mac with the sovol printers but I have only introduced those of the SV06 that are the same as those of prusa, varying the retractions. Those of the other printers are just copies of the SV06 except the SV01 and SV01Pro

Yes, I based my initial setup in PusaSlicer several weeks ago on the Ender 5 (Ender 5 S1 had not been released).
My point is that a company as professional and active in 3D printing as Sovol is should provide printer profiles for their printers for the most popular slicer software - it’s a basic level of support to enable their customers to quickly and easily start printing without having to figure out “what’s close enough.” Hope that makes sense.

Hi there - here for the same reason and questions… as I imagine more people will be too… a good number of your SV05’s were bought recently at Danabw’s recommendation. 😉

Hello, must also work via google translate.
I have the SV04 and the PrusaSlicer and I somehow found a configuration file, but I don’t know where to insert it in Prusa.
Use Win10.
As has often been said, it would be good if it were standard for Svol to deliver something like this to Prusa!

Wolfgang, would you mind either sharing the config file you found, or drop a link to it ?? TIA!!
