I hear ya. Of course, being a commercial product, added functionality would come along with the liability for more technical support. Maybe that has something to do with it. Cura is based on Python scripting, and those that know it can likely tweak Cura to do what they want. I've read the lead developer pointing that out to people, along with reminding people that Cura allows "plug ins" to provide a way to change what Cura does for them.

At least there's fewer settings than with Slic3r. Providing Cura settings is a bit complicated now that I'm slicing via Repetier Host. Repetier uses it's own config files to use with the slicer, so the ini files I have right now (one for print and one for filament) wouldn't work with standalone Cura. Standalone Cura does have an option, however, to extract settings from gcode. I'll look at trying that on a recent Repetier print perhaps tomorrow when I have more time available.
Of course, no two prints use the exact same settings. Don't pretend to think I've done all the experimenting and have found the "perfect" group of settings that everyone should use for everything they do.Last edited by printbus; 09-01-2014 at 11:30 AM.

I've used Cura exclusively for my last dozen prints. I'm not at home, but I can dig up my medium quality ABS profile from Cura for my 10" i3v and post it, if that would help. When I switch back to PLA (can't be soon enough!) I'll post those too.

Rather than reply in a Slic3r thread w/ Cura settings, I decided to create a new thread, here.
