How to create or import a filament profile

Valentin_Ruiz · July 18, 2024, 4:47pm

Hi,
I’m trying to import my custom filament profiles to Creality Print 5.1, but can’t find the option to do it. Also don’t see any option to create a new filament profile.
Thanks,

There you can import your profile.

Here under the filaments you can choose one and change something about it and then save it at the bottom left. This allows you to create your own filament profile.

Hi Danny,

I don’t see how to import settings from a previous version of Creality Print. Where are the custom filament settings stored in previous versions? (I didn’t see any .zip or other files that match the filter.)

Thanks,
The Kapt

im having the same issue. im trying to import the filament profile from eSUN. File name extension .cxprofile

there’s nothing to import this. What the screenshot shown to import is a print file.

any help please?

im using K1 with Creality Print 5.1 latest update.

I would like to know this, also.
I’m trying to print with eSun ABS+ they have the K1 profile in that .cxprofile file format but I also haven’t found a way to import it???
EDIT:
I succeed in importing .cxprofile in Creality Print 4.3
There is a Parameter config menu and Square icon with a small round arrow icon pointing in for Import, but it looks like the 5.1 version doesn’t have those possibilities…

screenshot please?

Thanks for the screenshot. I followed exactly your instructions but the file selection of .cxprofile is not available to choose. Did i do something wrong? Im using the latest 5.1 Creality Print updated on 2nd August 2024.

Confirm there is no such feature available in Creality 5.1

Hopefully, Creality will make this feature available in Creality Print soon.

This is actually so stupid… Now I need to manually enter in all of my settings all over again… Thanks for nothing creality so useless. Do your jobs its almost 2025 and your program does not support basic functionality a slicer should have. This is absolutely ridiculous

You sound like a programmer too.
I am a programmer and removing common functionality is just stupid.

For me, I’m not trying to import profiles from older versions, although, I did install CP 5.1.4 to another computer and was able to export the “config” and import to the new install. That did contain the filament profiles I’ve made.

HOWEVER, that’s not my complaint.
It’s adding a new filament profile and being able to add a new Vendor Name! In CP 4 it was easy and logical. You could easily enter the vendor of the filament you are setting up.

But it appears (so far) that in 5.1.4 you can not.
I can easily create a new profile with settings I need, but the “Vendor” field can only contain “Generic” or “Creality!”
So stupid.
That being said, if there is some other way to do it, I haven’t foudn it.

Logit dictates that coding wise, it’s easy to just add that functionality right in that edit screen by clicking on vendor and have a 3rd option, “New” or some wording.

As a programmer for decades, I do really get annoyed when we’re in 2024, heading into 2025 and this kind of silliness happens.

So illogical.

Oh well.
