In this article, we will show you how to import the Craycle Cura Profile up to date.
There are 3 different ways to import the Cura Profile.
1 – Standard Import
Import our Cura Profile following the “Cura – Manage Profiles – Import” option. To be successful this way, the profile was created, and the Cura version should not be the same as the Cura version you are using. Also, Machines may need to be the same, so you need to create a custom machine.
Download Cura Profile
2 – Saving the Settings of a Project File
You can open the project file we shared with Cura software and save the project profile differently from the screen that appears.
Download Project File
3 – Manual Profile Creation
You can copy all settings using screenshots we prepared and save as a new profile named Craycle.

Adjust the Provided G-codes According to Your Machine!
In most cases, the G-codes work perfectly, and you don’t need to slice the STLs yourself. There are 3 important print settings depending on the machine and the filament: Print Speed, Nozzle and Bed Temperature, and Flow rate.
If you have customized these settings, let’s see how to change them in G-codes.
Flow Rate?
Even in summer and winter seasons, we may need to change the temperature settings. If you have a custom machine or have optimized the flow rate for your machine, you will need to change the Flow rate setting. Here you can make the same change in Cura or the provided G-code files, and your flow settings will sync. (S100 means 100%. For example, to set a flow rate of 115%, do S100 to S115.)
Which Version Of Cura?
Currently, we are using Cura 4.13.1. Please download this version of Cura and use it to slice our models.
Why not Cura V5?
Cura 5 has come with some new features that will adversely affect the printing of our models. These features are very useful for printing solid models, but make an effort to make single walls close together. This causes the tips of the wings to deteriorate and the inserts to narrow.
If there is something you don’t understand or if there is missing information, please write to us.
Other Slicers are also Compatible Now!
With the updated Next Gen Craycle models, you can now easily print Craycle planes using any slicer without needing a special profile. If you have a new printer, just match your settings to the provided Settings Table included with the files.
For the highest print quality, similar to our own production standards, we recommend using our specialized Craycle Slicer Profile.

Hello there I seem to have an issue. As I import the project, it seems to only load the craycle logo without any models at all. Forgive me, I’m just getting started and I have no clue. I tried both 4.13 version and the latest one with same results. Importing the profile did not work as well…
Thanks in advance!
Hello,
When opening the project, it changes the settings along with the project. You need to create a new profile from the changes. The Craycle Logo is just an object. You should save the settings changes that come with the object.
I have 25 gcode files for the v2 3chl (free version) is that normal or am I missing some?
It should be okay. Just print all of them and text me if you have any missing part. We did not get any message for a missing part for 2 years ๐
When I enter the g code file for the Ranger V2 in Pruza slicer I get: ERROR Move out of range: 0.700 320.000 2.900 [4548.940]
How do I fix this?
You can’t open the gcodes with Prusa Slicer. Its created by Cura. You can use the STL files for Prusa Slicer.
can I use a creality slicer? my printer is a ender 3max neo
Of course you can use any slicer. Its almost the same. Just try to fit the settings table first. If you have any printing issue, then you can check the Craycle Cura Profile…
I printed the ranger V2 on my Prusa mk3s and Cura. I now have a Prusa mk4 and Cura does not have a profile for the MK4. Can the models be sliced in Prusaslicer? Thanks
Basically when you fit to the settings table, everything will be fine. You need to make sure that the model part weights are equal with the settings table.
There are no G-codes for LW-PLA. We can use PLA files, changing flow rate=0.5 and retraction=0?
Also, is it possible to print it with 0.6 nozzle? Which changes do we need?
You can use our G-codes for LW PLA but you might just need to adjust print speed from your printer screen. You can test it with a gcode and find out which speed is okay for your filament but most people just using our gcodes as it is. Nozzle is a complex change. If you don’t change the nozzle size on your slicer, you can use 0,6 mm nozzle. But if you change the nozzle size on the slicer, there will be slicing problems.
CIAO ho aquistato il CRAYCLE CUB
1) io ho una Bambulab che va poco d’ accordo con Cura.
non avete profili per Orcaslicer?
2) Se lo stampo con PLA LW devo stamparlo in vase mode?devo cambiare qualcosa d?altro nello slicers?
Hello,
In the new versions, Slicer is no longer important. As long as you follow the Settings Table, you will not have any problems. There is a special situation only for Bamboo Slicer: In Bambulab Slicer, Slicer Gap Closing Radius: 0.15 mm should be in the Quality/Precision section. If you do not do this, the internal supports will be completely lost.
Have Fun!
hi i im using cura 4.13.1 works perfect but ihave probs for example the wings from one side is closed so it can feet the other part how i can fix this??
Slicer settings are changed with the new version of the Craycle Planes. I just updated the Curaprofile for you and you can get the new profile.
Never forget to check the Settings Table that comes with the models. You can see the settings for each part of the model here. Even if now its almost the same for all models, one part can be different for a special purpose and we had to make a different setting for it. In this case you will miss the detail of settings and print the model part incorrect.
New Craycle Planes are almost the same in slicer profile at the moment. Have fun with your Next Gen Craycle Plane!
Thank you for your interest ๐
You write in the specifications for ORCA that almost all parts are missing the top layer. but elements such as orcav2_wing_2 then have empty ends. When you independently add 1 top layer, the ends are closed as in the manual.
why Why PLA and not PETG?
You can print the entire model with PetG. PLA is more environmentally friendly and can be printed easily. PLA is also strong enough in our models. You can also use LW-PLA for all our models.
Hello
I try print RangerV2
In part list wing_l1 weight 31g
My cura with craycle profile shows 85g.
Why?
What to do with it?
If you have been imported Craycle Curaprofile, you should check your printer nozzle diameter in the printer settings. You should also check the filament diameter if its correct.
Otherwise, you don’th had to have any problem wลth the settings if you have our Curaprofile and use Cura 4.13.1.
Sorry.
I doesn’t activate your Curaprofile
I got wing_l1 22 g insted of 31 g from part list
could this be the problem?
Yes, its a problem. Weights should be the same, +-1 gram isn’t a problem.
Please import Craycle Cura Profile and make sure your printer settings is well.
If you are using material flow rate for exturder calibration, this causes the weight calculating problem. You should print one part and measue it the printed part and check the list if its correct.
From RANGER V2 TRAINER web page user guide link refers to sport version file.
Therefore, the weight is different
Most parts of the Ranger Sport and the Free version are common. For example, FS3 is common to both models. You can check the weight by pressing this part. If you print the right weight, you can continue printing all the other parts, you don’t need to check each one.
Additional pages for information about the Ranger free version will be added in the near future.
Thank you for your terrific tutorial.
I am happy to say that your Cura profile seem to be working absolutely fine with Cura 5.3.1.
In fact I could not get the profile to load at all into version 4.13.1 as suggested above, file error occurred on every attempt after download and install, so tried loading into the current version that I already had installed.
I now have a complete wing section printed using standard PLA.
Good job
I am glad you like!
Cura 5 and above versions have problems that are hard to see. It creates errors in details. It throws unnecessary top/bottom layers in some areas.
Cura 4.13.1 works perfectly and I highly recommend using it. You can install both versions on your computer at the same time.
