Profile
Once your model is arranged in the best orientation for printing, you can move onto the printer settings. The first setting will be the profile. The profile of a print will determine the general specifications, with the most notable change in the layer height. The profile drop-down is located in the top right corner of Cura. This drop-down will show the available profiles, which will be something along the lines of high detail, standard, and high speed.

Select a profile that best matches what you are expecting from your print. For instance, if I am printing an intricate figure I would probably want to select high detail, whereas if I am printing a simple shape that I need within the hour, high speed might be the best option. If you don’t know what profile to choose, select standard.
