That's strange as I can see them all! Let me try again, there are a couple more bits in this one however they were before I settled on the higher nozzle temperature. https://photos.app.goo.gl/AtndLqiYWuMJGFj79

Couple of test prints for our Forceforge (Creator 3d pro) at work. There are aspects of the first print I am very impressed with, others leave me a little disappointed, for instance, the flat vertical surface with text. Temps are 65°C for bed and 220°C for extruder. 0.2mm resolution The little XYZ cube came to a very good tolerance, even after shrinkage. QUite impressed really. Any tips would be appreciated regards trying new settings etc... BTW Temperature tower pointed toward 220... Can't wait to try the Cura slicer but sadly atm stuck with Flashforges own until I reverse engineer the gcode...

Thanks Greg I will indeed do that.

Did you have any luck? I found a profile for the non pro on thingiverse, but it does not print well, for instance left extruder heats up and right extruder is used none heated. I manually edited gcode and realised there was a discrepancy between the numbers (.0 used on left not right) so this meant both extruders heated, but the print doesn't stick to the bed at all. Looks like I'll be doing a lot of digging if no one has got it working yet!

I don't even get to a particular profile though! This comes up when I select profile manager and without selecting any profile! Anyway, my printer has more problems with this software atm! I will just leave the PLA type as generic for now

Hi folks, so I have just installed Cura, to replace the Flashforge software that I am finding rather poor in performance. I installed a profile for the Flashforge Creator 3 Pro from a file on thingiverse, just had to change print bed dimensions... When I come to managing PLA type out of the PLA menu the software crashes, with the error TypeError: float() argument must be a string or a real number, not 'SettingFunction' The full listing is below...
