Setting up a cura profile, based on the test print -Ender 3 V2 - Ultimate Beginners Guide

That first print looks great.

Nice print. I love the Ender 3 v2. Unfortunately for me, since I installed the BL-Touch, I have issues printing correctly.

Where can I find the github link??

Do you know why Octoprint messes up my prints? Sometimes with Octoprint the nozzle is higher than without Octoprint active and plugged in.

Thanks for this. I got the start/end code set up on mine in the same way after seeing this video.

how do you pull up the Gcode off the sd card

so thanks for pointing out how good that first model was, i did the same model and didnt even think about looking at the code for the settings

can you upload the Cura profile Gcode for Cura like a file we can just add to settings on Cura or profile please

I had a look at the actual differences between the Cura Ender 3 pro gcode start and the test print and really they're basically the same. The Creality one overrides bed end hotend temperature... probably not what you want. Similar things with feed, flowrate, and jerk that I don't know enough about to know if they should be in the start gcode or elsewhere, but I suspect elsewhere. Creality also draws the first line at offset 10 rather than 1 so it eats more into your printable area. All in all, it looks to me like using the test print prologue over the Cura Ender 3 Pro start gcode is at best, of no benefit and more likely is not a good idea.

For everyone who still needs the G-Codes !
