All profiles listed herein, except for PVA / PLA-T, assume that the models do not require supports. If needed, simply activate the option "supports" in the profile, the parameters are already configured in advance.

DO NOT use the default Cura profiles listed in our desktop slicer profile list:

Profile name	Description	Extruder(s)
ABS ext1 - 100µm HR	A profile for ABS to produce the best detail and quality. The profile assumes that the piece is small and with delicate details, for larger pieces and with not so many details, it is possible to obtain a faster impression by increasing the values ​​of printing speed of the perimeters and the filling.
ABS ext1 - 200µm STD	Profile for ABS material, with an intermediate quality of details and speed. By default, it does not have supports, if they are needed, simply activate the option "support" and the parameters will be configured.
ABS Ext1 - 300µm LR	Profile for ABS material (use the extruder on the right, ext1). ABS: strong material, resistant to weathering, easy to post-process. This profile is of fast impression, low resolution, good quality. It is possible to increase the speed of the perimeters and fill a little more to get a faster impression, but at the cost of a little quality.
Flex98 ext2 - 100µm HR	Profile intended to use Flex98 material, at a very good resolution. Keep in mind that by its nature, flexible materials are not intended to produce pieces of great detail but must be used for practical parts. The previous loading recommendations also apply to this profile.
Flex98 ext2 - 200µm STD	Profile intended for Flex98 material. It is of medium resolution. The speed in the case of flexible materials is the same in all qualities and it is not recommended to change the preconfigured ones in the profile. Detail to take into account: the manual loading of the flex filament is recommended until extrusion is seen.
Flex98 ext2 - 300µm LR	For quick prints with no need for high detail level using Flex 98.
HIPS ext1 - 130µm HR	A profile that uses the HIPS material as the primary impression material (the other use of HIPS is as a soluble support material for ABS, for example in which case it is used in the extruder 2). Hips is a tough and strong material, soluble in limonene. It has as its attractive characteristic very nice pastel colors but also generates pieces that are resistant to strong impacts and resists physical stress.
HIPS ext1 - 200µm STD	Standard profile for HIPS.
HIPS ext1 - 300µm LR	Quick profile for printing HIPS when high detail level is not required.
HIPS ext2_ABS ext1 - 120µm HR	This profile uses ABS as the main impression material and HIPS as soluble support material (means that after the piece is printed, it can be immersed in a limonene solution and the HIPS will be dissolved). This profile is for pieces that require a high level of detail.
Nylon12 ext1 - 100µm HR	This Nylon12 printing profile provides a higher level of softness in the final details.
Nylon12 ext1 - 200µm STD	This profile uses the Nylon12 material in the extruder 1 (right). The nylon12 is a version of nylon resistant to moisture, maintaining the characteristics of the strength of nylon. The use of nylon is intended for the production of direct use and is not suitable for models with very delicate details due to the temperature of extrusion and the tendency of nylon to drip. This profile is of medium quality with good printing speed.
Nylon12 ext1 - 300µm LR	Low-resolution profile for Nylon12 for quick prints.
Nylon12 ext1 - SStrong 200µm	This profile uses Nylon12 as the main material but the configuration gives the piece a much greater resistance. If you need to create some piece in nylon, that needs to support big tensions and effort, this is the suitable profile. It consumes a lot more material than the other nylon profiles.
Nylon6 ext1 - 100µm HR	This version of the profile of nylon 6 grants greater softness in the finish of the final printed piece. It is important in all nylon6 profiles to ensure that the material is free of moisture.
Nylon6 ext1 - 200µm STD	The Nylon6 is an economical version of nylon, which preserves all the qualities of it but is susceptible to moisture. If the model to be printed will not be exposed to the weather, nylon6 is a good option. This profile gives a good level of detail with good printing speed.
Nylon6 ext1 - 300µm LR	Low-resolution profile for Nylon 6 for quick prints.
Pet-g ext1 - 200µm STD	The Petg combines the good qualities of PLA and ABS without the bad qualities. Easy to print, very good mechanical resistance and temperature, the PETG can also be used in contact with food. The recommended is not to use less than 200μm, although it is not impossible to do so. Attractive colors The PETG has a lot of dripping, so it is probably necessary to perform some post-processing after printing.
Pet-g ext1 - 300µm LR	Low-resolution profile for PETG for quick prints.
PLA-T ext1 - 100µm HR	Printing profile for PLA-t that provides the best detail finish.
PLA-T ext1 - 150µm HRF	This profile of PLA-T provides an excellent relationship between quality of details and speed of printing.
PLA-T ext1 - 150µm STD_white	Some colors change the characteristics of the filaments a little. This profile is configured to provide a good impression particularly with the white PLA-T filament and also provides a very good relationship between detail quality and printing speed.
PLA-T ext1 - 200µm STD	The PLA-tough is a version of the PLA of very good mechanical resistance, superior to other types of PLA. It is used in the extruder on the right (ext1) and this profile gives good levels in the details.
PLA-T ext1 - 300µm LR	This profile version for PLA-t gives good quality results but at a high printing speed.
PLA+ ext2 - 100µm HR	This profile for PLA + offers an excellent resolution of details on the printed page. The profile assumes that the piece is small and with very fine details, so the speed of printing is low. If you want to print a large object (larger than 10 cm in diameter and height) you can greatly improve the printing speed by increasing the speed parameters of the internal perimeters and the filling).
PLA+ ext2 - 150 µm HRF	A profile that uses PLA + as the primary impression material. This profile provides an excellent level of detail and speed of printing.
PLA+ ext2 - 200µm STD	Standard profile for printing PLA+.
PLA+ ext2 - 250µm STDF	This profile uses PLA + as the primary material to be used in the extruder 2 (extruder on the left). The PLA + offers very good surface finishes. This profile gives good details with good printing speed. The PLA + can then undergo the "forged" technique to improve its mechanical resistance and temperature.
PLA+ ext2 - 300µm LR	This profile for PLA (left extruder) gives a low level of detail, but good finishing and fast speed of final impression.
PLA+ ext2_PLA-T ext1 - 100µm HR	This 2-color print profile, like the previous one, uses PLA + (extruder 2 on the left and PLA-T on the extruder 1 on the right). It provides a lot of softness and level in the details.
PLA+ ext2_PLA-T ext1 - 150µm STD	2 color printing profile that yields a very good relationship between detail level and printing speed. Use PLA + on the left extruder (ext1) and PLA-T on the right extruder.
PLA+ ext2_PLA-T ext1 - 300µm LR	This profile uses PLA + in the extruder on the left and PLA-T in the extruder on the right. It is intended to produce pieces of 2 colors at a low resolution and good printing speed. The profile is generic and it is possible that certain parts require some adjustment of their parameters to produce the perfect results expected.
PVA ext2_PLA-T ext1 - 100µm HR	This profile will print PLA Tough in high resolution to get the best smoothness/detail while adding support from PVA.
PVA ext2_PLA-T ext1 - 120µm HRF	Certain models require supports in areas where it is impossible to remove them later. For these cases, soluble supports are used. PVA is one of them, it dissolves in water. The piece is then printed using PVA as a support material in the extruder on the left and PLA-T in the extruder on the right. Once the piece is finished, it is submerged in water for a few hours and the PVA dissolves, leaving behind the final piece.
