    Creality Print is forked from an older version of Cura so the configuration files are in a different format.

     

    If you're going to use the profile for the v2 you really should change the retraction settings due to the direct drive extruder.

     

    --BUT THE GOOD PART--

    The first beta of Cura 5.5 doesn't contain the E3V3SE profile, the release version may or may not, but the files for it are in the Cura Github repo, so you can download the profile that will be in Cura (unless they make changes to it beforehand) and add it to your current installation.

    1. Go to your Cura configuration folder. In Windows it's %APPDATA%/cura/5.4/ - if you're not sure where, just open Cura and click Show Configuration Folder in the Help menu.
    2. Download the main profile - the download button is at the top right:image.png.a3e0a89b8be73f355a61cd88e390fff7.png
    3. Put that file into the Definitions subfolder in the Cura configuration folder.
    4. Go back to the main config folder and open the Variants folder. If there isn't one already, inside there create a folder named creality (and I'm not sure if it's case sensitive so just make sure it's lower case).
    5. Download these files and put them inside the variants/creality/ folder:
      https://github.com/Ultimaker/Cura/blob/main/resources/variants/creality/creality_ender3v3se_0.2.inst.cfg
      https://github.com/Ultimaker/Cura/blob/main/resources/variants/creality/creality_ender3v3se_0.3.inst.cfg
      https://github.com/Ultimaker/Cura/blob/main/resources/variants/creality/creality_ender3v3se_0.4.inst.cfg
      https://github.com/Ultimaker/Cura/blob/main/resources/variants/creality/creality_ender3v3se_0.5.inst.cfg
      https://github.com/Ultimaker/Cura/blob/main/resources/variants/creality/creality_ender3v3se_0.6.inst.cfg
      https://github.com/Ultimaker/Cura/blob/main/resources/variants/creality/creality_ender3v3se_0.8.inst.cfg
      https://github.com/Ultimaker/Cura/blob/main/resources/variants/creality/creality_ender3v3se_1.0.inst.cfg
    6. Restart Cura (if necessary) and the profile for it should be there if you run the Add Printer wizard.

    Note: If a final version (or future beta) of 5.5 does come with the profile built in, you'll need to delete the files from the configuration folder manually - new versions copy the configuration folder from older versions when installing.


    Thanks for these instructions. When I try under 5.4 or 5.5 under on a Mac, I only get “Empty” listed under the  Nozzle for the material (PLA), when I select this v3 SE printer profile. I’m a novice at this so forgive me if this is something obvious or not connected. I think it might be to do with it not finding the files in the variant folder? I followed the instructions exactly as listed (and also tried putting the cfg files in the root of variants just in case). Any thoughts? Thanks
