I am looking for the same thing for cura 5.1.0 I just got the neptune 3, and I am stuck with having to run the elegoo version of cura which is 4.8, it aos frustrating because 5.1.0 doesn’t have a profile for it, and 5.1.0 won’t allow importing profile in from the version of cura I am running now.

I'd like to get a profile for the Elegoo Neptune 3 on Cura 5.1.1.  I wish they'd just have it as an option for one of the presets.  Is Elegoo resistant to allowing that for some reason?

Hi guys, I also have a neptune 3 and would love to see an official profile on Cura Ultimaker, But  "transfered"

the settings from elegoo  cura to ultimaker cura. You just have to create a custom FDM printer(or by cura custom FFF).I added photos showing how to set it up step by step. The  start G-Code is:

 

G28 ;home

G92 E0 ;Reset Extruder

G1 Z4.0 F3000 ;Move Z Axis up

G92 E0 ;Reset Extruder

G1 X1.1 Y20 Z0.28 F5000.0 ;Move to start position

G1 X1.1 Y80.0 Z0.28 F1500.0 E10 ;Draw the first line

G1 X1.4 Y80.0 Z0.28 F5000.0 ;Move to side a little

G1 X1.4 Y20 Z0.28 F1500.0 E20 ;Draw the second line

G92 E0 ;Reset Extruder

G1 Z2.0 F3000 ;Move Z Axis up

 

The end g-code is:

 

G91 ;Relative positionning

G1 E-2 F2700 ;Retract a bit

G1 E-2 Z0.2 F1600 ;Retract and raise Z

G1 X5 Y5 F3000 ;Wipe out

G1 Z10 ;Raise Z more

G90 ;Absolute positionning

G1 X0 Y{machine_depth} ;Present print

M106 S0 ;Turn-off fan

M104 S0 ;Turn-off hotend

M140 S0 ;Turn-off bed

M84 X Y E ;Disable all steppers but Z

 

These settings are taken from elegoo cura and have been tested by me.

Hey all,

Just dropping in to say that I appreciate the cooperative spirit here. 💕

Since Cura is open source, you or anyone else is more than welcome to create a pull request for the printer to Cura. 
You can find instructions to do this here: https://github.com/Ultimaker/Cura/wiki/Adding-new-machine-profiles-to-Cura

If you need any help with this, please reach out!
