Open in your slicer
Open in Slicer on a model page hands a file straight to the slicer on your computer, without saving it somewhere first. When a model has several files, you pick which one.
Supported slicers:
- Bambu Studio
- OrcaSlicer
- PrusaSlicer
- Cura
- Creality Print
- Anycubic Slicer Next
- Elegoo Slicer
- Snapmaker Orca
Choose yours under Configuration → Slicer, from the user menu: double-click a slicer, or right-click it and choose Activate. Other / Manual hides the button, for when you'd rather download files and open them yourself.
Thingport Bridge
Bambu Studio, PrusaSlicer, Cura and Anycubic Slicer Next won't open a link from a self-hosted server on their own. Thingport Bridge is a small helper app for Windows, macOS and Linux that takes the link from Thingport and opens the file in the slicer. Download it from Thingport's Downloads page.
MakerWorld models in other slicers
MakerWorld files are Bambu Studio projects, which many other slicers open without their colours or print settings. For those, Thingport offers Open normalized, which opens a converted copy instead. See normalized MakerWorld 3MFs.
Opening a model in a slicer counts towards its prints on the dashboard and shows up in your activity.
