This repository contains quality and material profiles specific to the Creality CR-10 printer for CURA 3.0, they should also work with CURA 2.7 and CURA 2.6 as they only apply basic settings available to each of these versions but you may have to change the settings_version in the [metadata] section of the file.
You can install these profiles using one of the methods below, file locations are for OSX but other O/S should have a similar location.
You can use CURA to manually import this profiles in the respective Profiles or Materials sections in preferences using CMD + , on OSX.
If you name your printer CR-10 you should be able to simply merge the quality and material directories into your Application Support directory. You can also install/update your profiles with the following command (unfortunately CURA doesn't support any sort of symlinking) but if you are updating be sure to select a prebuilt set of profiles and then exit CURA otherwise it will startup not being able to load your printer profile:
rsync -ahv {quality,materials} ~/Library/Application\ Support/cura/3.0
- PLA - These profiles are intended to yield working results directly on glass simply with a heated and level bed but you should hedge your bets and use a light coat of glue stick. I do use an IKEA mirror because the stock glass I could not level.
- ABS - This profile worked with painters tape on the bed. I could not get the glue stick to work as it seemed to evaporate, I intend to move on to PEI as soon as it's in stock and provide some more print settings and suggestions
No quality will have supports or ironing enabled by default however simply enabling either should yield good results as I've tweaked them a bit.
This profile is what I use for prints that are smaller (less than 100mm3) or prints that I interact with physically so I might mind the layer lines a bit more.
This profile is what I use for prints that are medium to large sized (more than 100mm3).
This is the same as Normal Quality PLA profile but slowed down to 40mm/s so ABS has time to adhere to the build surface.
I've found both brand and color make a difference so as I buy more filaments I will test them each with a tempurature and retraction tower. The settings in these profiles are the best quality achieved without sacrificing strength. I would like to personally test each filament's strength and quality so if you'd like to send me a sample roll please messages me either here or on Twitter (@leblaaanc).
If you'd like to contribute to this set of profiles feel free to submit a Pull Request.
If you feel these profiles have helped your prints please consider staring this repo and/or buying me a beverage 🍺 below.
