I finally got it to work! But I had to rename the file to get rid of the winblows spaces in it name, then had to paste the pwd output, as the first part of the filename, and append the renamed filename to that.
But in order to get the import menu at all, I first had to add a Custom-FFF.printer, which I can probably assume is now deletable since there are now two printers defined. It will not let you delete the last printer, What a royal screwup this is. BUT, while I have now imported that file 3 times, it has not appeared in the selection of profiles under the "manage printers" menu so it can be selected as the default. I did finally find a menu that allows the extruder scale to be changed, and found the default of 932 actually feeds about a meter of filament for a 100mm command. And that while the rest of the scales are still fixed, its printing anything you send it scaled up about 150%. And at virtually zero bed adhesion. And it tried to feed it a second time much faster than the first, causing the gears to cut it in two, and now its frozen up. Locked the nozzle into the hot block even at 260C. So this morning I have to learn how to unfreeze an H2 printhead. All because I wanted to load the printers own default sd card contents into cura: $> ls "/media/sde1/Setting flies"/ showing this filename, miss spellings are from the card, so that ls command gives this: 3DBenchy-cr.gcode BIQU-BX configuration file.curaprofile That 3dbenchy.gcode file printed directly from that file from the printers own menu, printed the most perfect benchy I have ever seen. I also priced the pro version of cura, but $750 for a years seat at that table is a bit steep. I am not a happy camper this morning.
