I don’t see any difference in the retraction settings - but this printed flawlessly- sliced in Ultimaker Cura 4.11 using the Ender 5 settings with the buildplate size updated for the 6.
Linked because it is too big to attach.

this is interesting. the cura code has only 2 retractions in the entire print. it’s using long wipes rather than retractions. and it’s also using a routing scheme to avoid direct shell-to-shell moves across gaps. this is a feature that I added in the 3.x development branch but left as an option that is only turned on when experimental is enabled in preferences. this reminds me to make it an output option. I will do that in the 3.1 dev branch. thanks
also, if you have the comparable Kiri:Moto gcode, please post it so I can do a side-by-side comparison.
Here is a link to the Kiri:moto .gcode for the same object!

Hi!
So I am wondering if there is a way to increase the size of the raft in Kiri:Moto? I have had luck using rafts - but it would be nice to adjust the width around the object?
Does that make sense?
yes, there is a bit of a hidden feature for this. the skirt offset under the base menu controls the size of the raft offset from the part. since skirts and rafts are mutually exclusive, this parameter is simply re-used. now that you mention it, I should add that to the hover help.

Hello stewart do you have a profile for anycubic vyper
I do not. But starting with any similar printer like the CR-10 and changing the X,Y,Z dims is a good start. IF it works, let me know or export your device and I can fold it into the code base.
and can i import cura profiles to it
this is no device or profile conversion from cura or any other slicer at this time
have you got a good profile for the ender 3 v2 ? i can up load mine if you dont and wanna play about with it
The built in Ender 3 device + stock profile should work. If you come up with better settings, please share.
Hi There,
so I don’t know, if this is all you need, so if I missed something please tell me.
These are mostly the default Settings CURA gives you for the Ender 3 v2 / Ender 3 Pro (they apply to both):
Dimensions:
250 high
220 wide and deep
Origin: Bottom left
Missing settings should be on pair with the Ender 3.
As said, please lmk if I missed something or you need anything else.
Thank you for your work, really cool project!
thanks @Pavlinchen and welcome. did you try the Ender 3 profile that is included? I can update it if it’s not.
Hi there @stewart,
yes I tried, and as far as I can tell, it works.
The main difference are the dimensions anyways.
Such great information here.
I’ve created some decent enough profiles in the past with my Munki.
I need to be able to create profiles for small objects that won’t take an A5/A4 print of swatches and can’t get flat sheets of the same material to ensure a very accurate profile.
In the past I’ve made profiles onto white aluminum which has worked for other hard objects, is it necessary to create the profile using this exact material?
When you say profile, are you referring to print profiles? The link was to printers.
Thank you Stewart for all of your help! You can tell that we have had months of successful printing, and we are doing well independently!
I did have one question though.
When printing - all our prints seem to end up too close to the print bed (z axis) by about .15mm. I notice this when our techs come out and level everything carefully.
We have just been manually changing z when printing to get an optimal first layer.
Do you have any suggestions for settings that might impact this - that we could tinker with?
Thanks again, your help and advice has made our program really successful!
Sincerely,
Kathryn
It sounds like the z calibration is drifting, which is not entirely uncommon. Do the printers have a Z probe? If so, that would help mitigate this. My Enders do not and have the same drift issue. It’s just mechanical slippage.
That sounds likely. These printers have a Z-stop (a bolt thingy at the back of the printer.) I think we will just have to manually adjust as needed.
Thank you!
@stewart is there any way Elegoo Mars and Saturn could be imported? Would love to be able to slice for those and just bring my gCode in to the makerspace to run it.
