Getting started
Become an author
Create your author profile and find the author id your plugins carry.
To publish plugins you need an author profile. It is the name people see on your plugins and on your public author page.
Create the profile
- Sign in with your Prusa Account.
- Open Become an author in the sidebar.
- Fill in your name, a short description and links (website, GitHub, Printables, …).
- Submit. The profile is checked automatically before it is public.
You can change the profile later under Profile in the author console. Changes are checked the same way.
Your author id
The author console shows your author id, a UUID such as
3df31bf0-7480-4969-aeff-de834c0e3a48. Every bundle you publish carries it in the author field
of manifest.json, and the marketplace accepts a bundle only from the author it names. The id
never changes.
What comes next
Before your first release you need:
- A signing key, so PrusaSlicer can check your bundles.
- A namespace for your plugin ids.
- A bundle to upload, by hand or from GitHub Actions.
