I hate to ask such a simple question, but how do you duplicate a working printer profile in Cura 5.0?
I have a brand new Anycubic Kobra Max. I used an Anycubic Viper profile and just changed the bed size and have been getting good single filament prints.
However, this doesn't allow me to change the number of extruders or anything. If I just copy all the settings to a custom FFF printer, it doesn't seem to work as well as the Viper profile.
in version 5 for cura i cant find profiles in the cura 5 in both version
The easiest way is to copy the profile to a new file. Step 1) Locatate the Cura directory:
Step 2) Locate the profile you want to modify:
Step 3) Copy the file giving it a new name. I normally just add the - 3DC to the end of it, but before the def part.
Step 4) Open the file in a text editor and then edit the "name" block so you can find it, and then add the following block to the "Overrides" group and change the :
"machine_extruder_count": {"default_value": 4},
When you save this, you might need to save it to some other location, like your desktop, but then Step 5) Using File Explorer, drag it back to the location in step #1. Restart Cura and you should see it as an optional printer... pick Add Printer, pick your file and you'll see it now has 4 extruders. One last thing... when you tune your first extruder, you can copy the settings from it to all the others using the "Duplicate" add-in available in the Cura plug-ins.
