Slicer Wrapper

slicer.sh

#!/bin/bash
#
# This script should work with Slic3r (https://github.com/slic3r/Slic3r) as
#   well as it's derivatives:
#     - https://github.com/supermerill/SuperSlicer
#     - https://github.com/prusa3d/PrusaSlicer
# The author uses "SuperSlicer" due to it's advanced feature set, installing
#   it at the path ~/.local/bin/slicer.sh
#
# CLI options relevant to configuration (derived via CLI with --help-fff):
#  --config-compatibility
#      This version of Slic3r may not understand configurations produced by
#      newest Slic3r versions. For example, newer Slic3r may extend the list
#      of supported firmware flavors. One may decide to bail out or to
#      substitute an unknown value with a default silently or verbosely.
#      (disable, enable, enable_silent; default: enable)
# 
#  --datadir ABCD
#      Load and store settings at the given directory. This is useful for
#      maintaining different profiles or including configurations from a
#      network storage.
# 
#  --ignore-nonexistent-config
#      Do not fail if a file supplied to --load does not exist.
# 
#  --load ABCD
#      Load configuration from the specified file. It can be used more than
#      once to load options from multiple files.

###
# In my configuration I don't automatically prune old versions.  As such I
# (generally) need to know the *newest* version, which will be the desired one.
