Ender 3 V3 KE - Best Config Hobby

How are you guys?
I’m an enthusiast and I always thought a 3D printer was cool, I bought one hihi
I bought it to make my dolls and interesting pieces like supports and organizers that I found on the internet.
I have a question, I’m not in the engineering field and I don’t have time to learn.
Reading on the internet, I noticed that the best software is Ultimaker Cura, so I downloaded it from this link (Add Creality Ender 3 V3 KE definition and nozzles by vadim-danilchik · Pull Request #17519 · Ultimaker/Cura · GitHub)
and I installed it to match my printer model.
I don’t know how to configure it, so I looked online for several ready-made configs, and I found this one (File Finder · GitHub)
It suits me well, I only change it by clicking on bridges when I see that the piece has a lot of red.
My question is, is there a better profile? Sometimes I think it takes too long to print.
Can anybody help me ?
(I would like to have 3 profiles, a perfect/slow finish piece, a normal/normal finish piece, a bad/fast finish piece)
Thanks :slight_smile:

For my V3KE I stick to Creality Print 5.1, the material profiles on that seem to be pretty darn good, you could compare the Cura settings to that. I am too a little addicted to the hobby, but I do use it to make jigs/fixtures at work (design engineer), 6 printers in now.

Do you have a pre profile that you could give me?
If so, in that case I will use Creality Print again :slight_smile:
Profile like (perfect/slow finish piece, a normal/normal finish piece, a bad/fast finish piece)

I think for now try the Creality Print profiles included in the program. I’ve used them for awhile now without any problems printing PLA and PETG. Make some small test models to see how the printer is doing. You will have to learn and get familiar with the different settings and how to change them depending on what supports each model needs for example you need or different temp settings. It’s a learning curve we all have to go through. It will be worth it. :white_check_mark:

New to having a KE but not to budget machines and trying to find good slicing software. So far I’ve done a bunch of prints in 40 hours with this machine and have done half in Creality Print and the other half in Ocra slicer and both have performed flawlessly for prints. No brims needed and very little in the way of supports…but sometimes that is all about orienting the piece properly too. I don’t care for Cura, especially if you’re learning and even more so if you have to manipulate the printer profile…Obviously Creality Print has the correct settings, but Orca did too. I like to do the same print in both to compare times and supports and make an “educated guess” of which one to use for the final print. Just my 2 cents. regard.
