 ===== Cura profile ===== ===== Cura profile =====
 Cura maintains 'profiles' which are essentially set of slicing parameters. The application comes with several default profiles suggestively named "extra fine", "fine", "normal",..., "extra coarse". While the parameters of these profiles are reasonable, it is recommended to add our own blends, which reflect the current state of the leapfrog. Cura maintains 'profiles' which are essentially set of slicing parameters.

-Keep in mind, that these profiles are meant as a starting point. Feel free to tweak the parameters to suit your needs even better. This is especially true for layer height and speed. With large prints every additional mm/s reduces the time to print significantly. Small models with delicate details benefit from slow nozzle movements. +These profiles will get you started.
