Anet A6 profile for Cura 3.5. Start Cura once, create a custom printer called "Anet A6" without changing any of the settings and close Cura. Save and overwrite both files in "AppData\Roaming\cura\3.1\definition_changes" and start Cura again.

Hi, Is this valid for Linux cura 2.7?
I save into /usr/share/cura/resource/definition/ but nothing happends after restart cura. Ideas?
Thanks

Updated for Cura 3.1

Does not work in Cura 3.1 for me.
I upgraded from 2.7 and deleted all old files, but Cura does not show an Anet printer, when the file is in definition_changes :(
Any idea whats wrong? Is it working for anyone?

Not working for me. Clean install, copied both files and restart. Printer not showing in list.

didn't work for me, but used values to enter into custom values prompt. thanks!

Yes, me too 😄
just wanted to check if I'm the only one

It works, open cura, add a printer(Custom), name it A6, close Cura, edit the file AppData\Roaming\cura\3.1\definition_changes\A6, save the file, open Cura.

Thanks

But he need the .json file. =( C:\Program Files\Ultimaker Cura 3.1\resources\definitions, where only .json files. Help please!

works perfectly for me on Cura 3.2.1 and using Marlin 2.9.1 firmware thanks

Updated for Cura 3.5.1

Do i need an update for Cura 3.6.0 ?
My Anet is a 1.5
Best regards

This worked for me with Cura 3.6! Thanks a lot!

@fluxkompensatorau : Thank you for response

But he need the .json file. =( C:\Program Files\Ultimaker Cura 3.1\resources\definitions, where only .json files. Help please!

It's... C:\Users\YOUR_USER_NAME\AppData\Roaming\cura\3.XX\definition_changes

I have the newest version of Cura and can't find that file path at all to update the settings for the A6! Can someone please help?

How to do so in Ubuntu 18.04?

Doesn't seem to be working. I've copied and replaced both files into the right directory, my Anet is properly put together, as i've tested with one of the stock files (pyramid) and it printer perfectly. Any ideas?

It's working with cura 4.8.
I created a new file in the specified folder (Appdata...) named Anet+A6_settings.inst.cfg , then copied/pasted the code in, and saved. Once cura running, the printer was there with the parameters.
