Importing Profile into Cura

  • Launch Cura on your computer.

  • In the top menu, click Preferences, then select Configure Cura. This opens the main configuration panel where you can manage profiles and materials.

  • On the left side of the configuration panel, click Profiles to see your current list of available print profiles.

  • Click the Import button at the bottom of the Profiles tab.

    • A file browser window appears. Navigate to the profile file you wish to import (typically .curaprofile or .json format) and select it. Click Open.

  • Cura will show a dialog confirming the imported profile. You will now see the new profile listed under Custom Profiles.

  • Click the Activate button on your new profile to begin using it for slicing prints.

  • If you want to access more or advanced settings, in the Profiles section, you can check or uncheck which parameters display during regular use.

  • To use the imported profile, make sure it’s selected before you prepare or slice your next model.

These steps will look very similar across current Cura versions. The interface is straightforward, with dialogs or panels appearing as you follow each menu path and choose your import option.
