Thank you! Yes there is Ender 3, but no V2 in there, and the I think only difference is the dimensions of the build plate. But I don't have enough experience with Github to add that.

I just dealt with this for the first time about 7 mins ago...lol I learned that if the nozzle is too cold, filament won't come out, and if it's too hot, it will likely leak out even if you aren't printing anything. So I think there is a sweet spot for each filament. And I also had to give a little push of my filament line into the extruder too to make sure it was in all the way. If that advice sucks, please someone let me know. Hope it helps!

Yeah you got it. I just went into one of the pre-existing PLA profiles and changed all the settings to fit NonOilen, and I'm doing some tests now, eventually I'm sure I'll find the right values so that that filament works with that printer. This is what I assumed the marketplace profiles were. Thanks for clearing up the confusion for me guys. And when I finally do figure it out on my side, do you guys have some kind of community cloud service where we can share these non-Ultimaker profiles with each other?

OK. So I hear it's a lot of work. How is it a lot of work? On the filament I bought it shows me the specs for it - nozzle and bed temperatures...etc. I assume to add a new filament by now is just a list of filament specs that should just be provided by the manufacturer or an eager first customer. Then I assume Cura just bakes these specs into the gcode output along with all the other settings for the printer. Maybe I don't understand something fundamental here. But anyway, what is more important to me is my 2nd question, which I still need help with. How do I add it myself so I can print stuff? lol

I just bought an Ender 3 V2 and NonOilen, and I'm trying to configure Cura. I added and installed the filament, but it's not listed as an optional material. The comment above says that feature is only available if I buy a Ultimaker printer. This seems like a typical propietary ploy to me, but maybe I don't understand something. Can someone explain to me why? And I am certain there is a HUUUGE customer base out there without Ultimaker printers. Can someone please also tell me how to configure things to make it work? Thank you kindly, Jonathan
