Cura comes with profiles that are fine. I don't think anyone publishes profiles because cura comes out with new versions every month and the older profiles don't always work with newer versions.
Personally if you want detailed printing and it is a small print (less than 30mm in all dimensions) then I recommend a .25mm nozzle. Also I recommend print cold and slow. So with .25mm nozzle you want to go as cold as possible - around 180C. I like relatively thick layers - 0.1mm (that's thick for a .25mm but it's easier to get good quality with thicker layers - going for thinner than that and getting just as good quality might require cleaning the Z screw or worse). Also I like slow print speeds so set ALL the print speeds to say 25mm/sec. This may take days for a small print but it should come out stunning.
But really you should start with average quality and work your way down. Learn all the things that go wrong (like bad bad adhesion) before you go for 0.25mm nozzles.
S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 was released Nov. 20th on the "Latest" firmware branch.
(Sorry, was out of office when this released)
This update is for...
All UltiMaker S series
New features
Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.
A year after the merger of Ultimaker and MakerBotQQ, we have unlocked the ability for users of our Method series printers to slice files using UltiMaker Cura. As of this release, users can find profiles for our Method and Method XL printers, as well as material profiles for ABS-R, ABS-CF, and RapidRinse. Meaning it’s now possible to use either Cura or the existing cloud-slicing software CloudPrint when printing with these printers or materials

I am sorry, it is the Ultimaker 2+
I have done a few prints and they are fine ( for the one that succeed )
If I want to print really small objects then they come off the glass, even when I use the glue that comes in the package.
Have to figure that out to prevent this...
Thanks ! ! !
