How to Import Your Fixed Preset into OrcaSlicer and Bambu Studio

When our diagnosis tool finishes a report, it can turn the recommendations into a ready-to-use file: a filament preset (.json) you import into OrcaSlicer or Bambu Studio, or — if you uploaded a .3mf project — a fixed copy of that project. This guide shows exactly where to import each file, where it appears afterwards, and how to verify the values before you print.

What the download actually is

Both files are generated entirely in your browser — your profile never leaves your machine for this. Depending on what you gave the tool, you get one of:

The report always lists exactly which keys were changed, from what value to what value. Keep that list open — you will use it to verify the import in a minute.

Importing the .json preset into OrcaSlicer

  1. Select your printer first. Presets attach to the active machine, so pick your printer (and nozzle size) in the top-left of the Prepare screen before importing — OrcaSlicer ships machine profiles for Bambu, Prusa, Creality, Voron, Anycubic, Elegoo and many more.
  2. File → Import → Import Configs… and choose the downloaded .json file.
  3. Find it in the filament dropdown. The preset appears in the filament selector on the Prepare screen, under your user presets, with the (fixed) @3dprofilefix.com suffix — select it there. User presets sort alongside the system ones, so type “fixed” in the dropdown’s search box if the list is long.

The same three steps work in Bambu Studio — the menu is also File → Import → Import Configs…, and the preset lands in the same filament dropdown.

Opening the fixed .3mf in Bambu Studio

  1. File → Open Project… (or just drag the file onto the Bambu Studio window) and choose the … - fixed @3dprofilefix.com.3mf download.
  2. When Studio asks what to load, load the file with its settings — the settings are the point. You should see your own model and arrangement exactly as you left them.
  3. Slice as usual. Because this is your own project file, plate choice, filament assignments and process profile all come along with it.

OrcaSlicer opens the fixed .3mf the same way (File → Open Project…). Both slicers treat it as a normal project file, because that is what it is.

Verify the values before printing

We label every export as beta for a reason: after opening or importing, double-check the values in the slicer before you print. It takes under a minute:

  1. Open the report’s list of applied changes (each line shows the setting, the old value and the new value).
  2. In the slicer, click the edit (pencil) icon next to the filament preset and walk through the changed keys — nozzle and bed temperatures under Filament, fan values under Cooling, retraction under Setting overrides.
  3. For a fixed .3mf, also check the process side (Speed, Strength, Others tabs) if the report applied process-scope fixes there.

If a value doesn’t match the report, don’t print — re-import, and if it still disagrees, tell us via the feedback button in the report.

What the preset can and cannot carry

A filament preset can only hold filament-scope settings: temperatures, cooling, flow, retraction, volumetric speed and friends. Some recommendations in a report are process settings — brim width, first-layer speed, wall counts, elephant-foot compensation — and some are calibration steps with no single value to write. The report marks these as skipped on the preset card; apply them by hand in your process profile, or upload your .3mf instead, since the fixed-project download can patch process settings too.

Housekeeping tips

Third-party spool? If the preset you are importing belongs to a filament brand your slicer does not know, create the custom filament first — the custom filament guide shows the vendor checkbox and the calibration order.

Frequently asked questions

How do I import the fixed .json preset into OrcaSlicer or Bambu Studio?

Select your printer and nozzle size in the top-left of the Prepare screen first, because presets attach to the active machine. Then go to File → Import → Import Configs… and choose the downloaded .json file. The preset appears in the filament dropdown among your user presets with the (fixed) @3dprofilefix.com suffix — type "fixed" in the dropdown's search box if the list is long. The same three steps work in both slicers.

What is the difference between the .json preset and the fixed .3mf project?

The .json is a filament preset and can only carry filament-scope settings: temperatures, cooling, flow, retraction and volumetric speed. The fixed .3mf is your own uploaded project — models and arrangement untouched — with the recommended values changed inside it, and it can also carry process-scope fixes like brim, speeds and shells. Both files are generated entirely in your browser; your profile never leaves your machine.

Should I verify the imported values before printing?

Yes — the export is labelled beta for a reason, and the check takes under a minute. Open the report's list of applied changes (each line shows the setting with old and new value), click the pencil icon next to the filament preset and walk through the changed keys; for a fixed .3mf also check the process tabs. If a value doesn't match the report, don't print — re-import first.
