Hi thanks,
We figured it out, and you can actually find an updated version of the script you linked in post #14
I’m having trouble getting this to show up in Cura 5.5. I copied the text from your post, saved it in Notepad as a .py file in the cura scripts folder and it doesn’t show up.
You can download it here. The instructions for using it are in the forum thread

Hi,
works great with cura with the instructions from above…
For Prucaslicer I did copy the code from above to a .py file but get this error while exporting gcode:
Failed starting the script \Users\micha\AppData\Roaming\PrusaSlicer\scripts\thump.py C:\Users\micha\AppData\Local\Temp.608.gcode.pp, Win32 error: 193

Hello! I would like to fix the thumbnail problem on my Ender 3 S1 Plus but I cannot find where to put this code. I am using Prusa Slicer (version 2.8.1). From your instructions it suggests I need to download “Pillow”? I know there is a “G-code thumbnails” setting under the “Printers” → “General” tab, but I have no clue what to set the picture size to. I am very new to messing with Gcode so I am grateful for any help.
You need to write the following under “Print Settings” > “Output options” > “Post-processing scripts”:
"full/filepath/to/python/interpreter" "full/filepath/to/postprocesing/script"
or
"python/interpreter/environment/variable" "full/filepath/to/postprocesing/script"
like so:
This setting is “Print profile” specific, meaning you will have to copy and paste the text in each print profile you use
Ok, a little progress, but I still have issues…
I copied the code from post 16 and pasted into Notepad. I saved as a .py, created a folder and stashed the file in there. I then copied the filepath,
“C:\Users\user\Documents\thumbnailfilefolder\thumbnailGcode.py”,
and pasted it into the “Post-processing scripts” area. In the post above you stated that the “full/filepath/to/python/interpreter” is needed.
Do I need to download a python interpreter?
Also, when I attempted to export the file, I received a message similar to @Hromi:
PrusaSlicer has encountered an error
Failed starting the script C:\Users\user\Documents\thumbnailfilefolder\thumbnailGcode.py C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Temp.15432.gcode.pp, Win32 error: 193
Thanks for the help.
You need a python interpreter to run the script
The error you are getting is because prusaslicer is trying to execute the python script without an interpreter
Hi,
I haven’t read everything above so I’m not really In this topic…but maybe you’ll find something in the following YouTube explanation.

I have the same printer and with me it worked immediately.
