Machine profile for new Ender 3 V3 SE for Cura?

Creality Ecosystem Ecosystem Product
1

I would like to slice my models in Cura to print on my brand new Ender 3 V3 SE printer. How can I get a machine profile/settings (not slicer setting profiles) for it? I can’t set it up in Cura as the new printer doesn’t appear on the list there. It seems too different from previous Enders to choose one of those. I would think the start up g code alone would be very different, plus the print head settings/measurements etc. I’ve tried to save the profile that Creality’s slicer is using, but I can’t find a way to do it.

Also, I would love to start with the slicing profiles from Creality’s slicer too, but when I export them Cura doesn’t recognize the file type. Is there a way to convert them?

Thank you for any help you can provide.

It is possible to add the Ender-3 V3 SE model to the Cura slicing software itself, and there is also a version available that uses the Creality Print slicing software that has the Ender-3 V3 SE model already built in.

Yes, I have the Creality slicer with the Ender3 V3 SE built in (it came with the machine) but I’d like to add that printer to Cura. You say it is possible, but how?

I’m having the same issue, I’ve tried exporting the Creality Printer software settings (which are plain text files) and CURA can’t import them at all.

The only option left is to go through each setting one by one any manually enter the values from Creality Printer.

Bit of a pain but doable.

You can take the Ender 3 S1 and it works very well for me. Below I give you the customized start and end gcode.

Start G-CODE

; Ender 3 S1 Start G-code
; M413 S0 ; Disable power loss recovery
G92 E0 ; Reset Extruder

; Prep surfaces before auto home for better accuracy
M140 S{material_bed_temperature_layer_0}
M104 S{material_print_temperature_layer_0}

G28 O ; Home all untrusted axes
G1 Z10.0 F3000 ; Move Z Axis up little to prevent scratching of Heat Bed
G1 X0 Y0

M190 S{material_bed_temperature_layer_0}
M109 S{material_print_temperature_layer_0}

G1 X0.1 Y20 Z0.3 F5000.0 ; Move to start position
G1 X0.1 Y200.0 Z0.3 F1500.0 E15 ; Draw the first line
G1 X0.4 Y200.0 Z0.3 F5000.0 ; Move to side a little
G1 X0.4 Y20 Z0.3 F1500.0 E30 ; Draw the second line
G92 E0 ; Reset Extruder
G1 Z2.0 F3000 ; Move Z Axis up little to prevent scratching of Heat Bed
G1 X5 Y20 Z0.3 F5000.0 ; Move over to prevent blob squish

End G-CODE

G91 ;Relative positioning
G1 E-2 F2700 ;Retract a bit
G1 E-2 Z0.2 F2400 ;Retract and raise Z
G1 X5 Y5 F3000 ;Wipe out
G1 Z10 ;Raise Z more
G90 ;Absolute positioning

G1 X0 Y{machine_depth} ;Present print
M106 S0 ;Turn-off fan
M104 S0 ;Turn-off hotend
M140 S0 ;Turn-off bed

M84 X Y E ;Disable all steppers but Z

Thats all end is good!
