Hi all, not sure where this should post so here goes. I purchased a stone flower ceramic printing kit([https://www.stoneflower3d.com/store/ceramic-3d-printing-kit/](https://www.stoneflower3d.com/store/ceramic-3d-printing-kit/)) some years ago and have just recently been able to start to dig in. It is version 2, not 3. I have built an adaptor for my Taz 5 but I am lost as to how to load the .ini file that was created for Cura, and I realize that this was made for the Ultimaker version of Cura, not the forked version that was created for Lulzbot. Does anyone have any ideas or direction they could point me to assist in figuring out how to/if it is possible to use this extruder kit with a Taz 5, how to approach modifying the .ini to work with Lulzbot Cura edition or if it is possible to run the Taz 5 with the Cura 4.6.0? I was able to successfully import the .curaprofile/.ini file into 4.6.0 and do a custom printer description for the Taz 5 but wonder if the printer will respond. Any help/direction or just plain it ain’t going to work would be great-understand some of this but obviously nowhere near enough of it. thanks When I try to import this into Cura for lulzbot edition I get the following message “Failed to import profile from /Users/mcasselli/Desktop/Ceramic Printer/cura\_config\_file\_stoneFlower3.curaprofile.ini: Reported version 1 but expected version 2” Here is

The answer to using Ultimaker Cura with your TAZ 5 is yes. You have to define your own printer profile because Ultimaker doesn’t have one for any of the LulzBot printers. I have a TAZ 6 configured (with both single and dual extruders) in Ultimaker Cura by copying settings from CuraLE to Ultimaker Cura. My suggestion is to create a profile for your TAZ 5 with its default single extruder and do test prints. Once you are successful, you can switch to your TAZ 5 with the ceramic kit. ---

b-morgan, thanks I am trying the first Taz 5 test print now and then onto the ceramic kit experiments. It all seems so obvious now, thank you for being so helpful WIll let you know how it goes. michael ---

was able to get good prints but unable to switch to the ceramic kit getting an E1 Err:MINTEMP print halted reset I have the word out to other forums,do you think it could be the firmware? michael ---

At this point I can only guess as I have no knowledge of the hardware involved, but yes, it could be the firmware.
