What versions of FC does this WB support? FC has been migrating to py3/qt5, does this workbench support py3/qt5 as well ? Does it also support py2/qt4?

BTW, nice job

Windows 10, Prusa Slic3r 2.3.3, im getting non-zero return code from Slicer because there's no -s parameter present. Also, Prusa Slicer is divided by gui and console versions, at least in windows. Works when changing --no-gui to --slice.

could you export as AMF instead of STL? because it would enable multi part exports and better support for 3d printing ...

If you did not switch to Slicer workbench during current FreeCAD session, the Slicer preference page is not shown. As soon as you have switched to the Slicer workbench, the preferences show up.

Hey. Remember me? 3 years ago you kindly merged a few of my pull requests. Until a few days ago I've been using your addon. I've only ever used the STL export button, but I've grown all the more fond of it. When I upgraded to a new version of FreeCAD I wanted it back, of course. But I noticed that you hadn't updated your addon and while the FreeCAD Wiki contains 2 STL export macros for 3D printing, they're both not very good. So I decided to make my own STL export visible macro based on your code with support for the App::Link feature added in newer FreeCADs. In the end not much original code has survived, but the important thing is that I could not have done it, if I hadn'd had your code to start with. So thanks again for writing it. It is still being appreciated after all these years. I'm also still using the Stl.svg icon, which has a cute home-grown charm to it and stands out so much that I can always find it, even when FreeCAD randomly decides to shuffle my toolbars around.

If you want to check it out, here's my new macro:

Please consider adding these to the README.md to illustrate how your workbench works, workflow etc...

Following the instructions from https://help.github.com/en/articles/classifying-your-repository-with-topics
would it be possible to 'tag/topic' this repo with workbench freecad slic3r addon and any others you can think of?
Thanks

If you like you can submit this WB to be included in the Addon-Manager as an external workbench: https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD-addons

I cannot access the app image due to permission error.
I use Linux mint
Freecad-0.19.03
but cannot access the slicer
please help

Hello,

i like the idea of starting slic3r direct out of freecad and prepare the visible parts for printing.
For me,( Manjaro Linux "stable" FreeCAD 0.18 AppImage & slic3r 1.31dev the "run slic3r button does not what i expected to. "Run slic3r" only runs slic3r in "invisible" CLI mode and generates the *.gcode-file without the option to change any settings in the gui. This seems to be the same as the "export to gcode" button does.
Can i change any settings to run the gui? Adding the --gui option to the "path to the slic3r" executable does not work.

Thanks for your work!

Sebastian
