Cura 2.3.0 MakerGear M2 file
Posted: Mon Jan 02, 2017 7:13 pm
Here is my MakerGear M2 printer profile file that I created to use Cura 2.3.0.
I am new to 3D printing, but I come from a programming background. I am sure the settings in the profile file could be refined further. I do not print directly from Cura, so it is unknown if that setup works.
I had hoped to complete some filament profile files before posting, but maybe at a later time.
Installation Instructions:
