Importing Ender 5 information into Cura 4

Posted · Importing Ender 5 information into Cura 4

I have an Ender 5 on the way and this is my first time using Cura. I downloaded Cura 4 but it seems that the profile from Creality is in json format and just from scouting around the internet it looks like Cura 4 doesn't use the same configuration files as Cura 3. How would I go about importing the following information into Cura to setup an Ender 5? Or should I just stick to Cura 3.4.1 as supplied by Creality on their USB stick?

    Cura 3 uses the same file types as Cura 4. You would need to copy another file as well, which can be found under extruders (creatily_cr_10_extruder_0.def.json).
    If you put those in the same location as where 3.4 put them (but then for 4.0) it should be picked up.

      • 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.
