Prints a flat anti-warp disc on each corner of the first layer, for any model, before the print starts.
How to use it
Run Plugins → Generators → Mouse Ears.
Click into the text field, press Ctrl+A, then Ctrl+C.
Open Printer Settings → Custom G-code → Start G-code and paste at the end, after the purge line.
Save the printer preset under a new name, for example "CORE One + ears", so you can switch the ears on and off by switching presets.
Slice and check the preview: four discs should sit on the corners of your part.
Good to know
PrusaSlicer supplies the positions itself, from the first layer's bounding box, so it works on any model, including ones you did not generate with a plugin.
The disc is about 24 line widths across, around 10.8 mm with a 0.4 mm nozzle. Line width, flow and retraction come from your profile.
Ears sit on the corners of the bounding box: ideal for rectangular parts aligned to the axes, off the part for round or rotated ones. With several objects, only the outer corners of the whole layout get ears.
Uses G2 arcs. Prusa Buddy firmware and Marlin with arc support handle them.
Why a text field: a plugin cannot change your start G-code or see your objects, so it hands you the code to paste once.
