The default print settings inherited from the i3 Mega should work great for the Mega X, except that I recommend updating a few values (below). Download the Mega X Cura profile You can find importable Cura profiles for PLA and TPU on the USB drive that came with your printer, or mirrored on our GitHub repo.

These Cura profiles are no longer being updated and are only compatible with Cura LE v21.08 and below. Users are encouraged to use the latest version of Cura LulzBot Edition as these pages will be used as a point of reference for archival purposes only.
Cura LulzBot Edition is a Free Software program that both prepares your files for printing (by converting your model into GCODE), and also allows you to control the operation of your LulzBot 3D printer. Beginner users are advised to use the Quickprint View in Cura.
Advanced users can do more by scrolling down this page for LulzBot TAZ 6 print profiles, developed and tested by the LulzBot team to ensure the best performance out of your LulzBot 3D printer.

A special note on Carbon Fiber Filament:

From: colorFabb.com

A special point of attention is the abrasive nature of the carbon fibers. In general these fibers will accelerate the nozzle-wear of brass nozzles, much faster than unfilled filaments. Therefore we recommend to use nozzle's from Stainless steel or hardened copper alloys.

While it's tempting to try using filament containing carbon fiber, many users are reporting trouble extruding after using that material, even from different vendors. We've seen people that wear out the inside of their nozzle, not to mention having lingering extrusion issues after switching to more common filament types. One of the benefits of carbon fiber containing materials are it's strength, similarly to good quality plywood. The interlocking long carbon fiber strands give the material a super-strong core. All the filaments we've seen so far however, don't have that same kind of long carbon fiber strands, so your prints are similar to Oriented Strand Board (cheaper plywood with smaller fiber length), which isn't as strong or as durable. That somewhat defeats the purpose of using carbon fiber materials. We find that for applications needing high-strength printed parts Nylon is a great material. While a bit slower to print, the parts are much, much stronger.

Advanced Tips

Speed: In general, the slower at which you print, the finer your surface finishes will appear.

Support: Support material can be printed with the same extruder and filament. It can be easily removed and set to be automatically generated or turned off completely. Generally, you can print without support material provided that any overhanging sections are less than 45 degrees.

Layer Height: The layer height determines how visible each layer is in the resulting model. The larger the layer height, the faster the print. Larger layer heights are more forgiving, while finer layer heights will take longer and need to have the various hardware and software settings balanced. However, finer layer heights will provide a smoother surface.

First of all, you have to download it.

You can get it here:

Set up

To beginn with, you´ll need to define your printer. Therfore, go on the top left to Setting, Printer and choose Add Printer…

There, you can search for your printer and add it.

If you can´t find your printer, choose Costum FFF printer. Now fill in the Printer Name on the right side.

Then, under Machine Settings, you have to fill in the properties of your printer.

​If you have the Anycubic I3 Mega, just type everything in, as it is below on the picture.

Don´t forget to tick the Heated bed!

Also check your settings in the Extruder tab. Make sure your Filament Diameter is set right! Muvee 360 video stitcher 2 0 1.

Costum Start and End G-Code

I made a costum Start and End G-Code. At the beginning it will print a short line to clear out the nozzle. There are also some other advancements in it.

Just copy the Custom Start and End G-code into the fields (replace them completely):

Free Printer Settings

In the Settings go to Profiles.

There you can import the Cura Settings.

You can download them here:

Now, choose the printer and the profile. You can also make your own material preset. If you want to change more settings, you can click on custom.
