OrcaSlicer User Profiles¶

This page explains where OrcaSlicer stores your user profiles and custom presets, how profile syncing works with OrcaCloud, and how to migrate your existing profiles.

Storage Location¶

OrcaSlicer stores user profiles in the application's configuration directory. The exact location depends on your operating system:

OS	Typical Path
Windows	`%APPDATA%\OrcaSlicer`
macOS	`~/Library/Application Support/OrcaSlicer`
Linux (AppImage / native)	`~/.config/OrcaSlicer`
Linux (Flatpak)	`~/.var/app/com.orcaslicer.OrcaSlicer/config/OrcaSlicer`

Reinstalling OrcaSlicer does not delete these profiles, so your settings and custom presets are preserved across updates.

Warning

On macOS, uninstalling OrcaSlicer may prompt you to delete the configuration directory. If you confirm, all your user profiles will be permanently lost. Only delete this directory if you are sure you no longer need your profiles.

Finding the Configuration Folder¶

You can open the configuration folder directly from within OrcaSlicer:

Go to the menu bar and click Help > Show Configuration Folder.

find_configuration_folder

User Profile Folders¶

Inside the configuration folder, you will find a subfolder named user. This folder contains all your custom presets and user profiles.

user_folder

The user directory may contain one or more of the following subfolders:

`default`¶

This is the folder OrcaSlicer uses when you are not logged into any cloud syncing service. It is typically the only folder present if you have never used profile syncing.

`<UUID>` (OrcaCloud)¶

A folder named with a UUID (e.g., 6b89c630-39bb-42cb-a1f0-476bef493c06). This folder is created when you sign in to OrcaCloud (available from version 2.4 onwards). When you are logged in, OrcaSlicer automatically saves and loads your custom presets from this folder instead of default.

`<10-digit number>` (Bambu Cloud)¶

A folder named with a 10-digit number (e.g., 1509812367). This folder was used by the legacy Bambu Cloud profile syncing feature.

Note

Starting from OrcaSlicer 2.4, Bambu Cloud is no longer supported for profile syncing. It has been replaced by OrcaCloud. Bambu Cloud for printer communication is unaffected.

How OrcaSlicer Chooses a Folder¶

Logged into OrcaCloud → uses the UUID folder
Not logged in → uses the default folder

Switching login state automatically switches the active folder. No manual action is needed.

OrcaCloud Auto Migration¶

Starting from version 2.4, OrcaSlicer includes an automatic migration feature to help you transition to OrcaCloud.

When you sign in to OrcaCloud for the first time, OrcaSlicer automatically copies your existing profiles from the default or Bambu Cloud folder into the new UUID-based folder. This means your custom presets are preserved and synced to the cloud without any manual steps.

Tip

After migration, you can verify your profiles are backed up by visiting cloud.orcaslicer.com and signing in with your account.

Manual Migration¶

In most cases, the auto migration works smoothly. However, if your profiles do not appear after signing in to OrcaCloud, you can manually migrate them:

Copy the contents of your old profile folder (default or the 10-digit Bambu Cloud folder) into the new UUID folder.
Restart OrcaSlicer.
Wait 1–3 minutes for OrcaSlicer to detect the new profiles and sync them to OrcaCloud.
