Cura profile for Prusa MK4
I print rc planes with my 3d printer. RC planes from Planeprint, Eclipson, and others use Cura as a slicer and provide specific profiles to print pieces of their planes. Unfortunately the MK4 is not included as one of the machines supported by Cura. As a result, Cura gcode leaves the MK4 in an unstable state after printing where it loses knowledge of the z-axis zero value. The only ways to recover is to perform a full hardware reset or print a gcode file produced by prusaslicer using an MK4 profile.
Any Cura experts out there willing to produce a Cura Prusa MK4 machine profiles and begin/end gcodes, as has been done for other Prusa printers?

Would love this as well.

Yes please if anyone knows how to do this. I can't stand prusaslice.
RE: Cura profile for Prusa MK4
Ive found that Cura is my Go To slicer ! It always just seems to work. I want to use Prusa Slicer, but it doesn't seem to be reliable. Ive used several slicers, but only Prusa slicer has crashed on several occasions during a print. This just happened recently. It's is fully updated. Is that the problem ? Anyway I'm printing a project with Cura and it is working beautifully !!!

Hi,
I have just got a new mk 4 and looking to Cura for slicing , has there been a solution for this yet? Its the universities go to slicer and I would like to use just one slicer

I've discovered that by downgrading my printers firmware my alleged prusa slicers issues have been resolved. I guess its not the slicer, but the printers firmware !!

+1 to this. I use Cura 4.12 for 3D printed Eclipson airplanes and it would be nice to have a profile for the MK4.
RE: Cura profile for Prusa MK4
I'm having this same problem. Planeprint files can only be sliced in Cura so I can't print them on my MK4. Used Cura occasionally with my Mk3s, so I'm surprised I cant do the same with the MK4.

Any chance you could post a solution here as well for those of us that try to avoid Meta?

Great, thanks!
How did that profile work for you? Any issues?
RE: Cura profile for Prusa MK4
Profile enabled the Prusa MK4 to run the cura gcode without problems, and recover ready for the next print. It is just a machine profile enabling cura produced gcode to print on the MK4 without problems. The quality of the gcode is an independent issue. I was able to print gcode produced by Planeprint and Titan Dynamics provided cura profiles without issue.
