SuperSlicer VS ELEGOO_Neptune2_Cura

I Would look into using SuperSlicer, a fork of PrusaSlicer

I suggest you temporarily (at least) use some print settings that are already excellent, start of with these). You need to install the official release of Superslicer. Find instructions on how to import the config bundle here.

Well, I doubt it's possible right now since the last release is already a few months old: Releases · supermerill/SuperSlicer (github.com)

There is a known issue where the config.ini contains the wrong version and Arachne is not visible. Check Issue 3094

I must have mis-remembered something, I thought there were a portable and installer version, however on the github download site the latest release, https://github.com/supermerill/SuperSlicer/releases/tag/2.4.58.5, only have one file for Windows which doesn't have an installer, this is the version i already use.

If you're a more advanced user then Super Slicer: https://github.com/supermerill/SuperSlicer/releases/tag/2.4.58.5

I'm not sure about specific settings, but I do have a slicer recommendation. SuperSlicer. It's a modified branch of PrusaSlicer that's basically just a better version of it

SuperSlicer

The mks wifi plugin should be in the marketplace. You can always upgrade to 4.13.1 and use these profiles, you will still need the mks wifi plugin but maybe it will be easier to find for a newer version of cura.

You may need to uninstall and the delete the settings folder from c:\users\ \appdata\roaming\cura\4.8\ and then reinstall, you will lose any custom settings or plugins you had doing that though. You can also try upgrading to cura 4.13, I wouldn't go to 5 yet it's still got a bunch of issues. If you upgrade you will want to add this for the profiles: https://github.com/Toylerrr/ELEGOO_Neptune2_Cura

Another good option https://github.com/Toylerrr/ELEGOO_Neptune2_Cura

If you're going to run Cura I would advise going to the last stable version 4.13 instead of 5, there's still bugs in 5 that need to be worked out and it doesn't have full support for all the plugins yet, also here's the cura profiles for Neptune . As far as PrusaSlicer I would recommend the SuperSlicer variation, it has a better interface imo as well as built in calibrations and several other settings and features that PrusaSlicer doesn't have, here are the printer profiles that work with either prusa or super. Marlin adds more adjustment options from the printer menu, it enables curved printing lines instead of many short straight lines (called arcwelding), enables manual filament change scripts, implements abl in a better way, communicates with octoprint much better, allows baby stepping for z height adjustments, etc.

I highly recommend using SuperSlicer 2.4.58.2 'fishy' build for the 2D, it has the multicolor painting features from PrusaSlicer 2.4 but has the slightly better interface and the built-in calibrations and other community driven improvements that SS has over PS, and add these profiles . That's basically all I use for my 2D now, if you want to be able to use Cura 4.13 for lightning infill or tree supports here's the profiles, it works decent but the multicolor/ multimaterial functionality is highly lacking and very basic.

https://github.com/Toylerrr/ELEGOO_Neptune2_Cura there are modified chep profiles in the readme, Cura 5.1 is supposed to have the Neptune natively, also 5.0 is still buggy and has very limited plugin support, I would skip it and stick to 4.13 or skip cura all together and get SuperSlicer and use this https://github.com/andrewsuzuki/prusaslicer-elegoo-profiles

Here comes the however, when I try to make my own dual extruder print it does not work. I tried Ultimaker Cura (Currently 4.13 with the profiles found here (https://github.com/Toylerrr/ELEGOO_Neptune2_Cura).

I'm using Cura 5 with this profile: https://github.com/Toylerrr/ELEGOO_Neptune2_Cura The only problem is that my printer won't show The thumbnails of whats in the sd card.
