8 Steps to better Prints with Cura & the Ender 3 from Creality. Tune in there's a Shout-Out to Angus of Makers Muse. Links Below

Your Ender 3 is capable of Perfect Prints & in this video I’m going to show you my personal Cura Profiles, these are profiles I use in my workflow to get decent prints. Give them a shot I think you might be impressed.

Frankie Hovers here - World Famous Flying Junkies, I have nothing but great respect for Angus over at Makers Muse the man is a pillar in the community and I would hate to have his crew of cronies show up at my door to break legs & take my printers. Okay so recently Angus was printing on an Ender 3 and I could see the Printer struggling, I cringed as he pulled a stringy sloppy mess off the bed, I thought to myself if Angus can’t do it no one can, I mean look he was plagued with so many of the same issues I went through, for me it took a good week of trial and error to get this thing to print to properly, I was having issues with stringing & extrusion, issues I didn’t seem to have on a cheaper Instone 3D Printer. More on this later. This prompted me to compare my setting between the two printers and create a mashup of the two. Also keep in mind that Cura does not provide a profile for the Ender 3, instead you're left with the CR-10 Profile which for some reason doesn’t play well on the Ender 3. Hey Cura Developers if your listening hook us up with a profile already?

Goals
Alright Let's get rockin’ our goal today is to get good prints with the Ender 3, for this we will use Cura as our Slicer.

-Open up Cura and jump over to your Printer Settings here you will find various tweaks that will help you tune your 3D prints.

The 1st thing I did was try the built in profile for the Creality CR10, while it did produce a print, it wasn't a good print. I scraped the files and decided to print some old Gcode files from an Instone Branded version of Cura, this is usually bundled when you purchase a Instone Mini Printer. It proved itself and brought me 1 step closer as I could clearly see my prints had improved.

-At this point I figured there had to be some settings I could copy over to the Existing CR 10 profile, I toyed around for a week and applied what I had learned from other Ender owners. The following is what I refer to as "God Settings" for the Ender 3.
