Ive recently had some requests to go over some profile settings for different types of plastic. this is for cura 4.3, and is my vase mode profile. I will show you how to set up and save a vase mode profile in cura 4.3, so you can quickly go between regular models simply by switching profiles. if your learning cura 4.3, this is a great place to start before you begin a print!

All right, and the next thing we're going to go in here and set up is going to be a base profile.
Now, this is going to be a base profile with PLA. I'm going to set it to my usual, which is 0.16.
Now, as a matter of fact, we're not actually even going to set this as a profile for PLA,
we're just going to make it our base profile. And you'll just have to be aware that you need
to change the temperature as you go. So we want to leave pretty much all the settings the same.
And build plate adhesion skirt, we don't want to brim on our base. And that is because in base mode,
it's going to print the bottom layer. And then it actually does a bottom shell now,
and then goes around and starts the base. But the brim removal on basis from base mode,
you'll be hard pressed to make it look good. The generate support is off, we don't need support,
we don't need tree support, we do need to go into special modes and select spiralize outer contour.
Now, if you don't see this, you can get it from just going into the settings basically and typing
in spiral. You can also turn on the setting to smooth spiralized contours, I like to leave that
off. But basically, we're ready to print with PLA. Because it's spiralizing, it's just doing
the outer shell and it's doing it all in one continuous line. So when you slice this, you're
going to end up with a large, large amount of layers. Because it's basically considering each
travel layer, or excuse me, each movement layer. So it's basically point to point. So you're going
to get a lot of layers. But it runs through fairly quickly. You don't need to worry about
the infill density, it'll print whether it's at 20% or 100%, it'll print that same spiral contour.
So that's not an issue. I'm going to save this as my base profile. And then when I come back in here
to print the settings that I'm going to check, switching in between PLA, ABS and PETG are always
going to be the fan and temperature. So once you have your temperature dialed in, just remember,
you want a little bit of fan for PETG, no fan at all for ABS, and you want the fan on maximum for
PLA. And in fact, once you get used to dialing in those settings for the plastic, you're probably
going to stop switching in between profiles because there's really not much that you have
to change. You don't have to go through and entirely change the whole setup, unless you're
switching to a TPU or flexible filament. So that's basically it for base mode. It is now ready to go.
I'm going to go back up in here, go to settings, profile, manage profiles,
and we are going to create a profile. This is my Kira Ender 3.16 millimeter. I don't like that.
It doesn't stick with convention. So we'll just do this. We'll do, we don't need the size.
We'll just do base mode. Okay. It's going to be a big close on that. And just to point out,
you can access it also through the profiles here, and it'll automatically switch all the
settings that you need. These are super quality, dynamic quality, standard quality, low quality.
These are the base profiles that come in Kira 4.3. So before I loaded my own, that was what I had.
And they do actually now work pretty well right out of the box. So we got two more coming today,
the ABS and the PETG. I have to get some more TPU before we can do the TPU settings,
because I haven't printed any in a while. And I forgot to save that profile, which is one of the
reasons that I'm doing this. So yeah, that's basically it. Hit the like button. Don't forget
