Very few people have printers with 8mm nozzles. Perhaps you could ask 3d Wasp if they have a working Cura profile for their printer (or what other slicer they suggest you use). Or you could tell us what problems you run in to when you try to make a profile yourself, and perhaps we can help you. In theory it should be as easy as starting with a "Custom FFF Printer" and setting the Nozzle Diameter to 8 mm in the Machine Settings.
Briefly looking at your other post on this subject, I can tell you that Cura normally expects to print in "loops". If you take a model and make a cross-section, Cura will - in its simplest form - trace the outline of that cross section. This means that if you make a model that is 8mm wide to be printed with an 8mm nozzle, Cura will still do two passes "around" the model.

Cura 5.7 is here and it brings a handy new workflow improvement when using Thingiverse and Cura together, as well as additional capabilities for Method series printers, and a powerful way of sharing print settings using new printer-agnostic project files! Read on to find out about all of these improvements and more.
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.
