You can use that tool, or instead you can cancel out of it and import some canned profiles already set up for the Bukobot; just download the appropriate zip file from [[host-slicing-settings|here]], unzip it, and use Slic3r's menu (File >> Load Config...) to load the profiles you need, starting with the profile that matches your printer, then the profiles for the filament you use, and some print profiles. (Or, find Slic3r's hidden folder, which on the Pi is located at ~/.Slic3r and simply unzip the file there.) | Slic3r will be installed and started, and will launch the Slic3r Configuration Assistant.

| - | Some testing has been done with Slic3r on the Pi. It works, and runs fairly quickly; it can process a part much quicker than the printer can print it. More testing needs to be done to find out if Slic3r runs out of memory when dealing with really large complicated parts. | + | Some testing has been done with Slic3r on the Pi.
