      <content:encoded><![CDATA[Hey everyone, Im trying to upgrade Cura, still using Cura 2.5.0 as is the only one I can get to work.<br />
<br />
I can&#039;t add my Robo C2 as its not on the profiles to add a printer it just shows profile for Robo3D R1 (See Image) and I can&#039;t add a custom printer as I can only load a FFF Custom printer. (See Image) and to my knowledge Robo C2 is a Custom FDM Printer:<br />
