![]() ![]() This will leave your model with unwanted marks and blobs along the exterior surface. Too high of a hot end temperature will cause over-extrusion because the excess heat will push an excess filament out of the nozzle. I consider this setting the single most important setting of any slicer profile because it directly impacts the extrusion of filament, which is how 3D printed parts are actually printed. ![]() The first setting is the hot end temperature, which I also call the nozzle temperature. In the following sections, I’ll go over each main setting and why I have it at the value I suggested. Slight modifications may need to be made for other printers or when using special blends of PLA filament like wood PLA. As I mentioned, these settings are meant for the Ender 3 (Pro/V2/S1) when printing regular PLA filament. Now for what we’ve all been waiting for (or at least me): the explanation of the settings I suggested in the earlier section. If, for some reason, your specific version isn’t there, just click another version of the Ender 3 because the slicer profiles for the original, Pro, and V2 are basically the same.Īnd that’s it!

Luckily, Cura is open-source, meaning it is, to some degree, developed by the community. How to Set Up Cura for the Ender 3?īefore we get into the explanations, though, it helps to learn how to set up Cura for your 3D printer, which, in this case, is the Ender 3 (Pro/V2/S1). So, if you don’t have time to read the explanations of why I have each setting at what value, take this and get started! I promise you’ll love it! But, for those a little more interested…or skeptical… read on as I explain how I landed on the values I did. So let’s just get to the point: what is the perfect slicer profile for printing PLA on the Ender 3?
