Where Does FlashPrint Store Profiles?
FlashPrint profile and machine config folders on Windows and macOS for FlashForge printer slicing use.
Last updated
FlashPrint keeps machine configs in per user app data. Windows uses %APPDATA%\FlashPrint with versioned subfolders. macOS uses ~/Library/Application Support/FlashPrint with the same layout. Presets inside control layers and supports.
Project files are separate documents wherever saved. Back up the profile folder for presets and keep projects per print. Exact subfolder names shift between releases, so verify before scripting. Keep projects per print job. Supports and rafts tune per material preset. Keep filament profiles with machine types.
Where FlashPrint stores this, by platform
%APPDATA%\FlashPrint
Profile root with machine and slicing presets. Copy whole folder with the app closed. Check version suffix since upgrades keep parallel trees.
~/Library/Application Support/FlashPrint
Same internal layout as Windows. Use Go to Folder in Finder to open it. Export key profiles before major upgrades.
