Slicer Setup

This guide sets up PrusaSlicer (or a compatible fork) with Vision Miner V4 machine profiles and build-plate previews for Standard, Mirror, and Duplicate modes. You need a PC on the same LAN as the printer (or on the printer AP) so Physical printer host tests succeed - see Network Troubleshooting or WiFi Setup if you cannot reach the machine.

This page covers:

• Install PrusaSlicer and download the V4 config bundle plus Build Plate Models ZIP.
• Import Config Bundle and turn on Expert mode.
• Add a Physical printer entry (22idex.local or the printer IP).
• Bed shape - STL + texture for Standard Mode; STL only for Mirror and Duplicate.

You need:

• Windows, macOS, or Linux PC with admin rights to install software.
• Network path to the printer (see links above).

1. Download PrusaSlicer

2. Download Vision Miner V4 profiles

1. Unpack the ZIP to a folder you keep - you will point Bed shape > Model / Texture at these files.

3. Install and first launch

2. Run the installer and finish the OS-specific steps.
3. Open PrusaSlicer once, then cancel or skip the guided wizard if you want to import our bundle next (you can return to the wizard later).

4. Import the config bundle

4. In the menu: File > Import > Import Config Bundle�

5. Select the downloaded .ini (for example PrusaSlicer_V4_config_bundle.ini - the exact name matches the release file you saved).
6. Confirm import. New 22IDEX printer presets and related print/filament profiles appear in the pickers.

5. Expert mode

Turn Expert mode on (toolbar / top-right, depending on version). Expert mode exposes Printer Settings, Physical printer, and full Bed shape controls used below.

6. Connect the slicer to the printer (Physical printer)

You send jobs over the LAN using a Physical printer entry. The printer must already be reachable in a browser (Web Interface at http://22idex.local or http://<printer-ip>).

7. Open Printer settings (or the Physical Printer pencil from the Plater, depending on version).
8. Choose profile 22IDEX * Standard Mode (or the mode you use most).

9. Click Edit physical printer (or Add physical printer).

10. Set Hostname / Host to 22idex.local or the printer IPv4 (some older screenshots still say Duet next to the field - the value is still your printer host or IP from the Web Interface / router).
11. Click Test. If it fails, fix subnets or WiFi first (see Network Troubleshooting).

12. Click OK to save.

7. Bed shape - Standard Mode

Goal: correct platter preview and docking hints for Standard Mode.

13. Stay in Expert mode. On the Plater tab, select 22IDEX * Standard Mode.
14. Open the Printer settings tab - in the left tree choose General - Bed shape - Set�.

14. Model - Load� - pick the Standard build-plate .stl from your Build Plate Models folder (name matches the ZIP for your revision).

15. Texture - Load� - pick the matching grids .png from the same bundle (docking / zone overlay).

16. Click OK - confirm the preview matches the Vision Miner 22IDEX V4 plate.
17. Click the disk (save) icon next to the printer preset name so the bed shape is stored in 22IDEX * Standard Mode.

8. Bed shape - Mirror and Duplicate modes

Mirror and Duplicate use full-width volume - no texture (leave texture blank).

For each profile 22IDEX * Mirror Mode and 22IDEX * Duplicate Mode:

19. On the Plater tab, select 22IDEX * Mirror Mode or 22IDEX * Duplicate Mode.
20. Printer settings > General > Bed shape > Set�
21. Model - Load� - choose Mirror Mode � .stl or Duplicate Mode � .stl from the ZIP.
22. Leave Texture empty.

23. Click OK, then save the printer preset (disk icon next to the profile name).
