One of the most common questions we get: does the generated puzzle project work only with Bambu Lab printers? Short answer — no. The 3MF project file that TanskyLab generates opens and slices correctly in OrcaSlicer and Creality Print, which together cover Creality K-series and Ender machines, Vorons, RatRigs, Elegoo and most modern FDM printers.
We tested real generated projects in all three slicers. Here is exactly what to expect.
Creality Print: pick your printer and slice
On import Creality Print tells you the project was not created in Creality Print and asks you to select a printer preset — that is the normal dialog for any external project. You may also see two or three notes about parameter names being mapped between versions (for example ensure_vertical_shell_thickness). They are cosmetic: confirm, and the project slices and produces correct G-code, including the color changes. Creality's newer machines have their own filament-change system, and the layer swaps carry over.
OrcaSlicer: two informational messages, then business as usual
OrcaSlicer notes that the file was created by Bambu Studio and lists the embedded presets, asking you to confirm them. Accept, switch to your own printer profile if you like, and slice. The relief geometry, the puzzle cuts and the per-layer color changes all import correctly — the format is shared between Bambu Studio and OrcaSlicer.
That one detail is worth repeating: the color-change data lives in a file both slicers read natively, so your photo puzzle keeps its exact filament swap layers on a Voron just as it does on an X1C.
What about PrusaSlicer?
PrusaSlicer currently rejects the project file because it uses the 3MF Production Extension (meshes stored in separate archive parts), which PrusaSlicer does not resolve. A dedicated Prusa-friendly export is on our roadmap. Until then, Prusa owners can print the puzzle from the STL and add color changes manually at the layer heights shown in the generator.
