+# PrusaSlicer: 3D printing slicer optimized for Prusa printers
 
-The prusa-slicer package
\ No newline at end of file
+PrusaSlicer takes 3D models (STL, OBJ, AMF)
+and converts them into G-code instructions for FFF printers
+or PNG layers for mSLA 3D printers.
+It's compatible with any modern printer based on the RepRap toolchain,
+including all those based on the
+Marlin, Prusa, Sprinter and Repetier firmware.
+It also works with
+Mach3, LinuxCNC and Machinekit controllers.
+
+PrusaSlicer is based on Slic3r
+by Alessandro Ranelucci
+and the RepRap community.
+
+The maintainers of this package welcome community contributions.
+The specfile, while moderately complicated
+and with slightly unusual style,
+should be well commented
+and relatively easy to understand.
+Please feel free to send PRs,
+and provenpackagers should feel free
+to commit and build as needed.
+Please do send us a note if you need anything.
