Cura settings for Prusa i3

[carmamir 0]

Looking for settings for Prusa i3. Not sure how to set it as I saw some topic that GCode has to be changed...

Maybe someone is using Prusa i3 with Cura...

Thanks in advance.

Im giving it a go with a 6" makerfarm i3

Will see if I have any joy! (p.s. im a bit of a noob at this)

Ive been running cura with my homebuilt I3 for the last year and the latest version is easier then ever to set up!

Whats your machine specs? Nozzle size, etc.

I've been using successfully Cura for my Prusa i3 8'' with magma hot end (i can use ABS only with the hot end right now)

Here are my settings:

Dump it into any .ini file and load it with cura (V13.06.4)
