+# My Slic3r Settings
+by Jannik Beyerstedt from Hamburg, Germany

+
+Some of these settings are quite specific to my RepRap Prusa i3 (MK1) printer, because it wasn't built from a standard kit.
+See [my website](https://jannikbeyerstedt.de/projekte/3d-drucker) for a little build blog.
+
+
+## Installation
+Clone this repository to the settings file directory of Slic3r.
+- macOS: `~/Library/Application Support/Slic3r`
+- Linux: TODO
+- Windows: TODO
+
+Previously I cloned the repository to my documents folder and then symlinked `~/Library/Application Support/Slic3r` to it.
+But this does not work any more with macOS Catalina, because the sandbox prevents the slicer to access the user's documents.
+
+
+## Printer Specs
+- Prusa i3, sheet model
+    - wodden sheets, watercut. Re-enforced at the top by some piece of wood. X-axis mirrored.
