A cautionary tail indeed! I will leave my settings as they are just in case ...

Thanks for the reply, I am still new to all this and missed this infill pattern amid the mass of options. I will also prod the manufacturers support people about the profiles.

This always bugs me too so I had a look at the generated gcode from V5: ;Generated with Cura_SteamEngine 5.0.0 M140 S50 ; set bed temperature 50 M105 ; Report temperatures M190 S50 ; Wait for bed to heat up to 50 M104 S200 ; set extruder temperature 200 M105 ; Report temperatures M109 S200 ; Wait for extruder to heat up to 200 It seems to consider bed and extruder temperatures as two unrelated settings and generates boiler plate code for each. Would a better method be to consider all initial heating requirements as a single unit and do something like this: ; Better option M105 ; Report temperatures M140 S50 ; set bed temperature 50 M104 S200 ; set extruder temperature 200 M109 S200 ; Wait for extruder to heat up to 200 M190 S50 ; Wait for bed to heat up to 50 -- will probably already be at temperature and therefore redundant but good to check If there are more things to heat up on some machines like a second extruder or a cabinet then all the SETs are grouped at the beginning in any order and the WAITs are grouped at the end in order from hottest to coolest.

Fab software but a couple of things which would make it 'fabber' for me: 1> Graduated Infill to surface (3D) rather than top (2D) GI is a great idea and works well for some things but can lead to very weak areas lower down the model. e.g a housing with thin walls GI should calculate infill density from the nearest surface instead of the top. e.g. If you are printing a sphere you want high density infill all around the inside surface but the center might as well be empty. 2> Profile for Creality Ender-2 Pro printer 3> Profile for Polymaker Polyterra PLA filament
