Does anybody have settings for Prusa MK3 for CURA and Simplify3d?

Check the pinned/stickied threads, Josef has one for Simplify 3D.

Keep in mind that you will have to change and modify the profile to get it printing perfectly. It's a great starting point but it's not perfect.

Some things I did:
1. Increase the slow down percentage on layers less than 20 seconds from 10% to 30%. The MK3 has plenty good cooling to handle this change
2. Increase perimeter speed percentage from like 50 to 70
3. Decrease infill speed to 80% or so
4. I played with the extrusion width, went from .45 to Auto which is .48.
5. Make sure to keep an eye on your first layer speed percentage. I don't think I changed mine but you may want too.
6. I'm thinking if I want to print as fast as I'd like the extrusion multiplier will have to come up. Just something to consider.

Biggest problem I noticed was it gets going faster than it can extrude when doing 100% infill on top of partial infill. It can do the solid layers on the bottom at that 100% speed (200 mm/s) but for me it was spotty and dotted across the surface when doing infills that fast. I slowed it down (50%-70% of 200mm/s which is still fast enough for me) and increased the extrusion multiplier and WOW did the surface layers look great.
