Go to Help -> Show configuration folder, and copy the whole contents of that folder.

ok, can i after the update to 4.11 the folder copy to the 4.11 or did this not work ?

[ahoeben 1,948]

Yes, that should work. In the new installation, go to Help -> Show configuration folder, then quit Cura and replace the files. Don't replace the files while Cura is running.

I did it with my whole class once I got printers set up on my computer.  Copied the contents of that folder to flash drive and gave to all of them.  Bam we all had all the printer profiles.  Wish Cura made this an easier process.... Like FFF files in S3D

Can you guys tell me what that folder is? I can't make that option to work. No folder window opens when I click there!

In Windows, it's %APPDATA%\cura\<version number>

In Linux, it's ~/.local/share/cura

On a Mac, it's Macintosh HD\Users\[user_name]\Library\Application Support\cura

If you're just upgrading Cura on a bunch of computers that are already set up, then Cura should update the profile from the older version automatically, so you just need to install the newer version.

 

If you have a profile in 4.13 which you need to copy to fresh computers with 5.5, you'll need to install 5.5 first (don't worry, it's happy to live alongside 4.13), run 5.5 once so that it updates the profile to be compatible with the newer version, and copy the settings from 5.5 onto the other computers with 5.5. Cura stores settings for each version in their own folders so it's easy to know which is which.

Thanks .. cura 5.5 wont run on the machine that currently has the 4.13 (graphic open gl cant be installed) will your process still work? I dont remember  cura 5.5 crashes or just doesnt open. 
"for each version in their own folders" can you expand on what you mean?

That's the %APPDATA%\cura\ folder on my machine. Each version of Cura stores its settings in a different folder. When you install a new version of Cura, it finds the settings folder from the most recent version and copies that (and modifies it to keep it up to date with the latest version if necessary).

Copy your 4.13 profile over to one computer that has 5.5 installed (delete the existing 5.5 profile if it has one), open Cura, it'll grab the settings from 4.13 and make its own 5.5 folder, you then copy that 5.5 folder onto your other computers with 5.5.
