 === GCode Production ===
-STL is converted to GCode using a ''slicer program'' which produces GCode of slices of the modeling file for the 3D printer to print. The best slicer for the Printrbot is [http://wiki.ultimaker.com/Cura Cura], which is preinstalled on the computer.
+We recommend the use of PrusaSlicer (Slic3r) for the Creality CR-10. A settings file optimized for this printer is [https://gist.github.com/MaxBareiss/9f97218f1111aa1ae0247e9d0fbc3083 here]. The most important setting for this printer is to set the maximum acceleration limit to 500 mm/s&sup2;.
-The Solidoodle and Mbot have their own workflows. Solidoodle uses Pronterface to send Gcode, though work is ongoing to find replacements. Mbot's software toolchain is a bit more complicated; supposedly, it uses RepetierHost, but initial tests were unsuccessful. The Mbot has an onboard control panel with an SD card reader, but uses a nonstandard format for printer instructions (not G-code). Investigations are ongoing.
