# Loading Cura Printer Profiles
|
|
|
|
Cura loads printer quality configuration files in a stack.
|
|
The following files must be present in order for Cura to load a profile.
|
|
|
|
## Quality File
|
|
|
|
The file `quality/flsun_v400_global_<quality>_Quality.inst.cfg` defines some global properties for all nozzle sizes and
|
|
all materials. Linking global qualities to layer heights is a valid example, but not a must. Cura's intentions seems to
|
|
be centred on print speed.
|
|
|
|
`<quality>` should be replaced with one of the values following values, at least one must be present.
|
|
|
|
- Superdraft (e.g. for layer height of `0.4mm`, or a speed of `600mm/s`)
|
|
- Verydraft (e.g. for a layer height of `0.3mm`, or a speed of `400mm/s`)
|
|
- Draft (e.g. for a layer height of `0.2mm`, or a speed of `300mm/s`)
|
|
- Fast (e.g. for a layer height of `0.15mm`, or a speed of `200mm/s`)
|
|
- Normal (e.g. for a layer height of `0.1mm`, or a speed of `150mm/s`)
|
|
- High (e.g. for a layer height of `0.06mm`, or a speed of `80mm/s`)
|
|
|
|
## Variant File
|
|
|
|
On top of the global quality file, there needs to be setting file for each variant:
|
|
`variants/flsun_v400_<variant>.inst.cfg`. The settings in these files are specific to the variant, but are independent
|
|
of all quality or material settings.
|
|
|
|
Variants can be whatever machine detail you want to choose. Commonly, this is the nozzle size.
|
|
|
|
## Specific Settings
|
|
|
|
The third layer of the stack is the quality, material, and variant specific settings in
|
|
`quality/<material>/<variant>/flsun_v400_<variant>_<material>_<quality>_Quality.inst.cfg`.
|
|
|
|
## Intentions
|
|
|
|
Optionally, there can be even more modifications of settings in intent files.
|
|
They are stored in the intents folder with the name intent
|
|
`<material>/flsun_v400_<variant>_<material>_<quality>_<intent>.inst.cfg`.
|
|
|
|
This file can modify settings that are only relevant for specific intents. Examples for intents are
|
|
|
|
- Dimensional accuracy
|
|
- Visual Quality
|
|
- Smooth Surface
|
|
- etc
