I want to share my 3rd party printer settings with a colleague.

I need to be able to investigate problems they are having which may be due to their printer settings.
I feel I should be able to export and import printer settings to be able to do this.

Please can you tell me how to do it?!
While I don't have much experience with this I genuinely have explored the software and the forum for clues to no avail!

    There are a couple of ways to do it.  If you go to Manage Profiles you can Export a settings profile.  Your friend can then import the profile.  Sometimes there are incompatibilities (ex. nozzle size needs to be the same on both printers) between your printer and their printer but you should be able to overcome that.

    You can create a Project File in Cura ("File | Save Project") and your friend can open the project.  There will be options regarding the printer, the setting profile, and the material.  Your entire setup will be contained in the project file including your printer, StartUp and Ending Gcodes, the material, and the printer settings.  If he doesn't want to overwrite his own StartUp Gcode then he can select the "Create New" option for the printer and afterwards delete the printer instance that gets created.

Read on to find out about all of these improvements and more.

      • Release Notes: S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 (Latest)

        Dustin posted a topic in Firmware,

        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.
