ProForge OrcaSlicer Profiles — Installation

Profiles for the ProForge 300, ProForge 4.2, and ProForge 5 toolchanger 3D printers.


Step 1 — Copy the profile files

Download and extract the release zip, then copy the Makertech/ folder and Makertech.json into the OrcaSlicer profiles directory for your platform:

First time installing OrcaSlicer on a MAC? Launch OrcaSlicer first and then close it (right click on icon in dock and hit quit) before copying over the files.

Platform Path
Windows C:\Program Files\OrcaSlicer\resources\profiles\
macOS Right-click OrcaSlicer.app → Show Package Contents → Contents/Resources/profiles/
Linux ~/.local/share/OrcaSlicer/resources/profiles/

Step 2 — Add a ProForge printer in OrcaSlicer

New OrcaSlicer installation — the setup wizard will appear on first launch. Select Makertech from the vendor list, choose your ProForge model, and the Makertech filament profiles will be pre-selected automatically.

Existing OrcaSlicer installation — click the printer name dropdown in the top-left of the main window, select Add/Remove Printers, then find Makertech in the vendor list and select your ProForge model.


Step 3 — Enable Makertech filaments (existing installs only)

When adding a printer to an existing OrcaSlicer installation, filament profiles from the new vendor may not be automatically enabled. You will need to enable them manually:

  1. Click the filament selection button in the main window
  2. In the Filter items box enter Makertech
  3. Check Makertech PLA, Makertech PETG, and Makertech ABS
  4. Click Confirm

The Makertech filament profiles will now appear in the filament dropdown when a ProForge printer is selected.


Troubleshooting

If Makertech doesn't appear in the printer list, confirm both Makertech.json and the Makertech/ folder are present in the same profiles/ directory, then restart OrcaSlicer.
