Are you referring to the Startup and End Script on the SCRIPTs tab? As far as information on the Gcode page, the size is correct listed 250x250x400. Michael

Sounds great, looking forward to seeing how it does. So as I mentioned, I've been working on a little project for my Ender 6. LEDS and Camera for remote viewing by Cell when I'm not home. A lot of people really liked what I did with my old ROBO R2 lighting system and the CR10. So here is the Ender 6 take...... I took a pictures to show my Ender 6 lighting. Mike

Hey folks...... I'm going to share my Simplify3D Settings with you guys that I'm using with my Ender 6. I know that Cura slices things a little different than Simplify3D does but figured worth trying these settings out on CURA and see if this improves your prints. I've been printing with these settings and getting great results with printouts on Simplify3d so I hope that these settings may help some of you still have issues. I would like to hear if these helped out with your issues. If so please update post......if this works for you guys I'll share them with other forums I'm in to help others out as well. I did a bust of Dead pool and I'm pretty happy with it. The ender 6 is printing some very smooth sides when using high quality. I'm defintely very happy with it so far. I'm sure there could be some additional tweaking on this profile also, but we're slowly getting there. Currently working on LED Lights setup. The last setup I did with my old printer, many people really like them. I'll share them once project is complete on that. Mike

Yes,most definitely it does. Even simplift3d needs tweaked a little but it's pretty close. Keeping in mind I'm using Ender 5 settings with no tweaking on Simplified 3D. So last night I printed another 3D test using Simplify3D. Again no tweaking... This is just a comparison results for my printer in a way to find what prints best for me as is. I'm sure both are great software if they are tweaked just right for an individual printer. Left side is using your profile with Cura 4.8 and then Simplify3d on right side with Ender 5 profile all printed on a Ender 6. Pics below.

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. Mike

So a couple things to share with you Jan141282. The Thor Hammer printed really smooth but was a simple print. I printed one in Standard Quality .20 and then a i did a Super Quality which turned out fantastic at .12. So I decided to do a 3d Print Test to see how the Ender 6 handled everything. The bed is leveled out perfect and when I was checking prints on Thors Hammer the sides were very smooth. The bad news..... It looks like the retracting needs tweaking or something else maybe. I'm getting a lot of stringing in my print during the 3D Print Test. As for everything else it looks pretty smooth. Any ideas on what needs tweaked? This is at Super Quality .12, 100% fill, no support printing at 50 speed, Nozzle 210 and Bed at 60 degrees Pictures below.

Disregard the part about the Brim and Raft. Apparently that was a support that it threw into the print automatically. I didn't realize supports automatically went in. I'm use to manually doing that part so that confused me fot a min until I lifted the print. Im still curious about the other 2 questions in my previous comment.

Glad you mentioned the backup. I'm an Simpky3d user and currently no profiles for it but will be supported in near future. I got cura 4.8 running with ender 6 and a big thank you to you guys for that. So a couple questions on this profile.... So currently printing at.20 normal quality. Is the profile configured so that if I switch to high quality I think it's.12 that settings are already setup to work in high quality prints? Also I was asking about speed. Is this profile setup to take advantage of the faster printing speeds? I also noticed that when I was printing "thors hammer fridge magnet" that it printed a brim and also a raft. In Simply 3d... I could choose one or the other to not waste pla on both. I went into advance settings in cura and I see Brim selected but it is still adding a raft. Really strange. Thanks... Im still trying to figure Cura out after using simply3d all these years. Hopefully someone releases a profile for simply3d as prints always seem to come out better quality for me on that software. Mike

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.

Jan141282..... what version of Cura are you using with this profile. Did you do all the mentioned tasks with copying files and doing a fresh new install using the latest Cura version or are you using an older version? Thanks Mike
