    Further testing and getting a response from Simplify3D has for the time being solved my issues. I'll share my findings and prints. So lets go back a bit to my earlier post. So after doing a couple prints of the thor hammer, I decided to check how my Ender 6 handled a test print which checked many things.

     

    Jan141282.... I want to thank you guys for sharing that profile, but unfortunately it still needs more tweaking especially in the retraction area from what I'm gathering. So lets take a look at two pictures of some models I printed with my Ender 6.

     

    Looking at the pictures below you'll see three different models

    Reading them from LEFT TO RIGHT:

     

    Far Left = Cura 4.8 provided by Ultimaker and the Ender 6 profile provided by Jan141282. (Took a good while to print).

    Middle = Cura 4.2.1 provided by Creality with Creality's profile that came on SD card with my Ender 6 printer.

    Far Right = Great results..... Simplify3D version 4.1.2 using a profile for an Ender 5 as suggested by Simplify3D Tech until they make one specifically for the Ender 6. (Rear Right Post broke off on the model on the right when I was removing from print bed.... that was not the printer or the software)

     

    I've been using Simplify3D for 5 years and had great prints with their software. Now first off all, I'm not affiliated with them in anyway, I'm just letting you know what worked for me.  It would be difficult to pull settings from Simplify 3D and insert them into Cura as the wording is very different in a lot of areas and some options are just check marks and not so much numerical.

     

    What I would suggest doing for those of you using CURA 4.8 is to find a good Ender 5 Profile that has good feedback and good success rates by other users and just load that in as a profile renaming it something else for your Ender 6.  Then see how it performs on your Ender 6. My cleanest print on the right had no settings changed. I used the Ender 5 profile that comes with Simplify3D without modifying any settings except I updated the BED SIZE to match the Ender 6 and the Start/End Scripts.

     

    Hope this helps some of you.

    Thanks For Your reply !
    What we have done is copied the profile from the Crealty slicer we didn't do any tweaking to the profile.

    You can sea a big quality difference between cura porfile and simplefy3d  the only problem is its price 150,- dollar that is a lot of money and you get only a year of updates.

    I checked the retraction settings if they are correct whit the Crealty slicer and they are.
    there needs to be a lot of tweaking to the profile.

    spanishcop Please keep us posted on simplify3d !!

    Great to hear.... I'm going to try this and see it works for me on my macbook pro. Curious..... Are the settings in this profile set to print at the faster speeds the Ender 6 is supposed to print at or more of a replica of the Ender 5 profile type thing? I'd like to find a working profile that uses the Ender 6 abilities to increase speed but yet maintain quality in prints. I'm willing to sacrifice of the speed for quality prints but sure would be nice to see it print a tad faster. Thanks for the quick reply and thanks to you and your family member for sharing this with us.

    Its great to sea that you respond to each other that's the benefit of a community. 
    ass Gzz mentioned its based on the latest version but you can use it on any version.

    it is smart to backup your setting online true the backup function of cura. if an upgrade to a newer version goes wrong you can restore the backup. and restore your printers and profiles

    Dont know if this is related to the settings in the gcode or the firmware on the Ender 6.

     

    If I adjust all the printing to speed to be no more then 50mm/s. If I then start printing and on the display (on the ender 6) goes to adjust doing printing, then my nozzle and heatbed temperature are correct, but my print speed is always 100.

     

    and it seems to print at 100, changing it to 50 slows it down. Any idea if its the printer or error in gcode file ?

     

    Using firmware 1.0.4.9 (BL Touch) from january 2021.

     

    Update: I think it shows in procentage. So 100% is the speed set in the Gcode, setting it to 200 will make it print twice as fast 50mm/s -> 100mm/s and so on. They could have added a % symbol!

    Okay thanks for the feedback!

    Hello GZZ,

    if You use the path in the readme there is the location were you need to copy the files.
    Be aware it needs to be  a clean install.

    If You change something in cura it will make new files and put them in c:\Users\<Username>\AppData\Local\cura\<Version>\

     

    When I tried it the first time I also didn't do a clean install.

    Wit a clean install You need to uninstal Cura and need to throw away the files under cura in the maps:

    c:\Users\<Username>\AppData\Local\cura\

    C:\Users\<Username>\AppData\Roaming\cura

     

    those will stick around when you only uninstal the program.

     

    I updated the zip File to clarify the installing process.

     

    The modification in the start g-code for the dual preheat isn't added its easy to ad this in the printer settings if you want them. Maybe on a later time we will ad this in a separate file because we also need to test them .
