DO YOU KNOW ALL YOUR
SLICER SETTINGS?
With some slicers having over 400 settings, learning through trial and error can be a massively frustrating & time-consuming experience.
End the frustration by mastering your slicer to get better looking, faster, stronger & more reliable 3D prints.
Wow, this is amazing stuff. It simplifies what do-it-yourself people like me have been trying. Would have saved a ton of filament if I'd begun here...

WHY DO I NEED THIS?
Have the hundred of features in your slicer ever left you feeling a bit like this guy?
If so, you're not alone.
These powerful software packages that control 90% of the fate of your 3D prints (called Slicers) are designed by techies, for techies.
But with all this vast, exciting functionality, it also comes at a price: ease of use.
The problem is; no one ever started 3D printing because they wanted to see their print fail (often literally) in the 11th hour due to some unknowingly incorrect setting for their specific STL file / material or support combination...
...that's a HUGE amount of wasted time, filament & effort.
The solution is to gain the skills to master your Slicer, so that you can control your printer and have it do exactly what you want it to do.
Instead of it throwing seemingly random faults and confusing issues at you, causing you hours of wasted head scratching and hair pulling.
Did you know?

The solution is to gain the skills to master your Slicer, so that you can control your printer and have it do exactly what you want it to do.
Instead of it throwing seemingly random faults and confusing issues at you, causing you hours of wasted head scratching and hair pulling.
OK, so Slicing is important - But why do I need to achieve full mastery?
You don't need to do anything. But the old way of "learn as you go" holds you back and keeps you in the dark with a lot of useful functionality.
If you can't let the old ways go, you won't unlock the full capability of your printer.
Compare that to having a framework to easily get the best results that matter for whatever it is you're printing.
And you'll be able to do it for each individual print, material and printer, in no time at all - and with reliable results.
Because you see that...
...the Slicer is not just at the heart of 3D printing, it also has the most impact on all other factors:
Think of it this way...
You wouldn't attempt to pilot a plane without training on the controls, so why risk crashing your 3D printer with incorrect print settings?
I've yet to be disappointed with anything offered by the Institute of 3D Printing. I've completed the Slicer Mastery courses, which contained a wealth of information presented in a clear and concise manner. I wouldn't be where I am now if it wasn't for IO3DP.
Eric S. Rossiter, Io3DP Student
WHAT WILL I LEARN?
Important & Not-So-Important Features
With over 400 features in some slicers, surely some are just gimmicks?
That's right, and we'll let you know what you can ignore, and what will actually save you countless hours, or get your better results.
Learn Time Saving Processes
There are a lot of clever features in your slicer that can reduce filmament, or printing time, to save you money & hours.
We'll show you the best way to use them.
Nothing Missed,
or Assumed
We don't assume prior knowledge, so complete beginners won't be left behind.
Yet we scale up to the Advanced and Expert settings in no-time, giving you the skills you need in the shortest time possible.
Why Learn Advanced Settings?
This is no "Top 7 Slicer Settings" style Youtube snack. We make sure you understand the reasons behind why you need a full repertoire of skills to expand what you can print, maximise reliability and save money.
These videos are well made. Straight to the point with no waffle.
I particularly like your tutorials with Sean Aranda on Cura with suggested settings to make for best results.
Peter Murray, Slicer Mastery Course Student
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Once enrolled, you'll get immediate access (even at 2am!) to the Advanced Slicer Mastery Course within our password protected training area. This includes over 12 hours of lessons breaking down slicer software. We've focused on the most popular 3 out there, but the information applies to most others as well. You'll have lifetime access to the course (unless refunded), including all future updates 100% free.
Inside the Advanced Slicer Mastery Course you'll get:
A Complete Fast-Tracked Skillset To Control Your Slicer & Printer
You'll be able to move through the entire program at your own speed, so you can just get the skills you need, or start at the beginning and learn everything required to master your printer.
Choose to learn any of the top 3 main Slicers, or master all 3!
Our "Pre-Flight Checklists" To Keep You On Track
Before printing with any new material, file, printer, or other settings you'll want to make sure you follow down our pre-Slicer check list to make sure you never miss an important step - one that could cause you hassle later.
Comparison Guide To Help You Choose Which Slicer Is For You
Not all Slicers are created equal, and some do different things better than others. So which should you invest your time learning?
We break down the objective positives and negatives of each, and guide you to make the right decision for you, based on what features you need or what type of things you want to print.
Our Fast "Fault Finder Scan" Technique To Diagnose Problems
Get our system for exactly what to look out for to "scan" through a model so you can spot problem areas and adjust in advance to stop problems. These skills also make printing poor quality files from unregulated sites like Thingiverse a doddle.
You won't print another STL without doing this quick 60 second check first.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Here are a few answers to our most common questions:
Without knowing how to Slicer files, you can't use a 3D printer. Most people only know how to do the absolute basics with their Slicer, just to get a print. But what if you knew what Slicer settings would improve printing reliability, finished part strength, finish quality, or reduce printing time for every single print you create.
Imagine the hours of printing time, wasted filament and print fail frustration all saved just by knowing how to avoid these? Not to mention, having better looking & stronger prints.
The three Slicers covered at Cura, PrusaSlicer and Simplify 3D - these are the most powerful Slicers available (the first two are completely free to use).
Better to start now, then waste time.
How long it will take you to complete the course, vs how long it will take you to get significant value from the course are two very different questions.
Each video lesson is compact, so you'll start to get time, filament and frustration saving techniques a short way into the content. You can go through everything methodically (advised) or if you're short on time, just skip to the lessons you need right now and come back to the others later.
The full training for each Slicer are between 3.5 - 5 hours long in total and are fully comprehensive in what they cover.
Great question! We get that people can have busy lives. That's why while there might be a time limit on the offer today, there's no time restriction on when or how fast you complete the trainings.
How much time do you waste when an unexpected fault arises, not just the hassle of restarting the print, but the hours of confusing searching online for a remedy, that still might not work.
Wouldn't you rather have the complete skill set needed to quickly Slicer your next print in minutes, with amazing results each time?
With our condensed, easy to follow step by step trainings you can work through at your own pace. Invest in this program and you'll have access to the content ongoing, for one low fixed price.
We believe in honest business practice. What that means is, we're so confident you'll get a ton of value from these Slicer trainings that. we're happy to take on all the risk. If for whatever reason you don't like the training - just get in touch within 30 days of purchase and we'll refund you if you feel you've not got value from it, or for whatever reason you've changed your mind.
Dosen't matter if it's 29 days, 23 hours and 59 minutes after you've bought it, our 100% moneyback guarantee still stands.
Free sites like Youtube can be useful, but they don't contain all the information you need. List of "top 7 things to do on a slicer" won't help you master the slicer, they're likely just give you enough information to get frustrated at all the stuff you don't know.
We set out to create the most comprehensive training course for FDM 3D printer slicers available, so that someone can follow it step by step, to get great results, easily and in record time - all without wondering what to do next, or in what order.
We don't assume anything, so everything is explained in plain English, without jargon so that anyone can follow on from the complete beginning.
Yes! While this is not our official certification course (we have a separate certification program for that), yes you will get a certificate to confirm you've gone through the whole course. There is no test, however.
Who should take this course:
Anyone whose brand new to 3D printing (even if you don't have a 3D printer yet it's good to be prepared!) or has been printing a while but either doesn't feel confident operating the Slicer OR feels they could get better results from their 3D printer. Even if you're happy with the results, you can always learn more to slash printing time or filament usage.
Who should not take this course:
If you know absolutely everything you need to know about the Slicer, and 3D printing already - and you're fully confident there's no room for improvement. OR if you're someone whose only looking for quick fixes and "hacks" - while we do have lots of these too, we believe in teaching for full comprehension, so we explain the reasons behind our methods so you can harness this knowledge in a highly practical and capable way.
Yes, we understand that sometimes internet connections can be patchy so we have enabled this feature within the login area.
While we can't list absolutely everything covered in this course (we'd be here for ages...) here's all the important stuff that's definitely covered:

There are sections that are updated, but fundamentally this is the same course that you can find in our training suite. However this is a stand alone price, with bonuses and no monthly subscription fee. Pay just once and you get to keep the course - including any free updates in future as we release them.
Not at present, but when you finish you will receive a digital certificate of completion.
No, this is a complete stand-alone course. The price you see is what you pay, and it's a one-time investment. We're offering at such a great discount for a short period of time to make it accessible to the most amount of people we can. We want to help as many people as possible master their slicer, and we felt this fantastic offer was the best way to do that.
While most people taking this course will already have a 3D printer, it makes perfect sense to invest in the course before your 3D printer arrives. Doing so will give you the confidence to start using it correctly to begin with, and print files the right way. It's always best to start as you mean to go on.
We cover Cura, PrusaSlicer and Simplify 3D slicers in unparalled levels of detail. We cover each slicer completely relevant to that slicer, but in a way that is very transferable to most slicers available. Many settings are similar across slicers, so much of the information you will learn will be cross compatible.
Why not increase your 3D printing capability by learning a completely new slicer today?
Yes! Any updates we make to this course in future will be included. We invest heavily in keeping our content up to date. As we update in future, you will get access automatically (no extra charge). We periodically update our content, so you can be confident it's relevant.
Exactly what it says. If you buy the course, and for whatever reason you're not happy within 30 days of ordering (if it's 29 days, 23 hours and 58 minutes after) just let us know and if you'd like a refund you can have one.
We don't believe in keeping your money if you're not fully satisfied. So we want to make this an entirely risk-free investment for you.
