This tutorial is amazing. Most 3D printer 'setup' videos assume you know what all these variables mean, but you've explained them in just enough detail to get me started. Thanks!

[chopperchuck]

As someone who's been fabricating metal in the useful items for over 40 years as well as training others to do the same

This is a very good tutorial you've figured out how to explain it to people without over talking it and keeping in mind that they have no idea what it is your talking about

And I really like your clever use of the British accent to prevent me from turning off the video the moment you started talking about metric measurements
Well done

[johnhoward]

This is the best software tutorial I have ever used

[hani_issa]

THIS right here is the best tutorial i have ever watched in my life, the pacing, the amount of info per minute, it's just AMAZING and on point, instant subscribe !

[MrURA]

Because of this great tutorial I'm printing my first print. Thanks

[CrystalliteKK]

Surely I checked few of the videos, but detailed one by one step explanation will give any beginner the confidence to be self reliant.

Thanks for the tutorial

[ghargie]

Great video. You are very good at tutorials. Great clarity and very informative. More please!

[stephensackett]

Thank you, I have been using Prusa Slicer for years but still haven't discovered all of the interactions and different features. I have one recommendation that will be helpful for complete nubs and that is to explain that the filament presets represent a group of default settings that should be sufficient to produce quality prints and normally don't need adjustment. Also that the adjustments available should be used only if the presets aren't adequate for some reason.

I didn’t know how to get support by my print. This video really helps me! ❤

[ShieldJaguar]

Been using PrusaSlicer but didn't know what most of the functions are, now i have a much better

[bettydaltonnewbold]

All I can say is THANK YOU, because as a new 3D printer with a new machine, I knew nothing at all about the Prusa slicer. I will definitely watch your other videos on the other features available in it.

[tampajoeyz]

Thanks for the great video and helping me get up to speed using PrusaSlicer

[sjkba]

Nice video! It seems that prusa slicer is very well thought out. I guess since they print parts of their printers, working with the slicer is part of the companies daily business so they have had an incentive to really nail it and it shows. Seems like I will switch to Prusaslicer

[goldshadow]

Thank you so much!!! This us the best Tutorial so far.
I'm new to 3D printing. This helps

[hedwigleemans]

well done - concise and to the point - got me going in 30 minutes

[interdimensionaleagle]

Switching from cura to prusa and I found this video helpful, thanks! Waiting for 2.6 but in the mean time will be on 2.5 to get familiar with prusa. Cheers, also a new viewer here subbed and liked as well.

[hotsparklab]

Thanks for the Prusa Slicer tutorial. I was missing a few things you covered in my last (first) print. :)

[audelmoradi]

Excellent tutorial. Thank you so much! This was incredibly helpful!

[Dominic-Noble]

Appreciate this tutorial, its helped me a ton.

I've been using an Ender clone (my first printer) but just ordered a Prusa Mini+; I thought it would be a good time to step away from Cura and into PrusaSlicer. Then I found your beginners tutorial. What a find. I'll be looking up your other vids. Thanks much.
