Printer Profiles Cura Settings
Your printer profile within Octolapse can be customized to work with Cura, making it easier and more intuitive to copy your slicer settings into Octolapse. All of the controls have been tailored to match Cura as closely as possible. Just select 'Cura' from the 'Slicer Type' drop down within your current printer profile. This will also customize the 'Feature Detection' print quality settings within your snapshot profile to match Cura's terminology.

The general printing speed. Cura will use this speed for normal printing.
The speed at which infill will be printed.
The speed at which outer walls (exterior perimeters) will be printed.
The speed at which inner walls (perimeters) will be printed.
The speed at which top and bottom layers will be printed.
This setting controls both Octolapse travel speed as well as feature detection within the snapshot profile. Higher values here will reduce the amount of time Octolapse adds to a print.
The speed at which the initial layers will print.
The travel speed for the initial layers.
The speed at which skirts and brims will be printed.
If the travel speed is above this value, z moves will be printed at this speed, else the travel speed will be used.
