In Cura, for manipulating new STL files:

  • Set Print Speed to 40 mm/s
  • Printing Temp to 185
  • Bed Temp to 62
  • Wall Thickness some multiple of 0.5
  • Filament Diameter to 2.94
  • Packing Density to 1.00
  • Nozzle Size to 0.485
  • Retraction Minimum Travel to 2 mm
  • Retraction Speed to 40
  • Retraction distance to 3
  • Travel Speed to 120 mm/s
  • Max Z Speed to 3
  • Bottom Layer Speed to 20
  • Cooling Minimum Time to 10
  • Enable Cooling Fan
  • Initial Layer Thickness to 0

Start G-code should look something like this:

  • G21 ;metric values
  • G90 ;absolute positioning
  • M107 ;start with the fan off
  • G28 X0 Y0 ;move X/Y to min endstops
  • G28 Z0 ;move Z to min endstops
  • G92 X0 Y0 Z0 E0 ;reset software position to front/left/z=0.0
  • G1 Z0.0 F{max_z_speed} ;Move NOWHERE at max Z speed
