26XXXXXXXX CHAIRMANWON PSR
Just an FYI you need to download and put this python script in "scripts" underneath your Cura configuration directory and then activate it in Cura under Extensions->Post Processing->Modify G-Code: https://github.com/KenHuffman/UltimakerCuraScripts/blob/main/scripts/CreateV2NeoThumbnail.py Link to the latest mriscoc release: https://github.com/mriscoc/Ender3V2S1/releases/tag/20230312
- Latest mriscoc firmware supports Ender-3 V2 Neo previews!

Displaying Ender-3 V2 Neo thumbnails
Screenshots of thumbnails from Cura, the V2 Neo's display, and OctoPrint are here.
-
New version of the Slicer Thumbnails plugin released
Thumbnails in the Ender-3 V2 Neo format are generated by Creality's own slicer (which is an old version of Cura) or if you are running a newer version of Cura and use my https://github.com/KenHuffman/UltimakerCuraScripts plugin.
-
Optimized firmware for Ender3 V2/S1 3D printers.
One last nice feature of this firmware is that in the next release you will be able to embed thumbnails into your sliced gcode files using the CreateV2NeoThumbnail post-processing plugin:

Ender 3 v2 neo
Thumbnail works just need a python script, someone's made it and it's already on Github

All my print previews (other than the 2 that came with the printer) show this. How do I get the real preview?
If you have Cura 5 and an Ender 3 v2 Neo, try these instructions: https://github.com/KenHuffman/UltimakerCuraScripts.

Print Preview on Ender-3 V2 Neo
Re-wrote the Cura plugin script that was not generating the preview in the format expected by the V2 Neo. The code is here: https://github.com/KenHuffman/UltimakerCuraScripts/blob/main/scripts/CreateV2NeoThumbnail.py

Creality Print vs Cura: Speed
So I'm using beta version of Cura (5.5.0) with V3 SE profile from https://github.com/Ultimaker/Cura/pull/16796 and I just figured out that Creality print is way faster than Cura. As far as I can see, settings are almost identical; print speed is set to 180mm/s in both programs. I'm using stock PLA profile in Creality print and eSun pla+ profile in Cura - same temperature, infill, walls and fan settings.

New Feature for Cura?
In this case, Cura is an open source project, so the most straightforward way of submitting a feature request would be by creating an Issue in the code repository, where you can explain your idea along with why it’s important to you, who else you think it could be valuable to, and what you want both minimally and ideally.

Updated to Cura 5.4 and it wiped everything, now I cannot select Ender 3 S1 Pro. Any suggestions?
If you're using the Startup Optimizer plugin, try disabling it temporarily - it can occasionally interfere with the list of available printers. Should that not help you could manually re-insert the profile by copying this JSON into the appropriate directory (eg C:\Program Files\UltiMaker Cura 5.4.0\share\cura\resource\definitions).
