Might be the same as the Mingda Magician X. Perhaps update the existing built-in X to say X/X2 ?

I have this machine as well. I just followed their steps to manually add the machine. But, it is also convenient if it can be added to future builds of Cura

Greetings, can you elaborate on what you mean by "their steps to manually add this machine"

[LilBub]

In the document they sent to me, they went through step by step. I can't find that now and in viewing their updated manual (https://cdn.shopifycdn.net/s/files/1/0510/4209/1194/files/Magician_X2_3D_Printing_User_Manual_v2.0.pdf?v=1693901612) it looks like they rely on the customer installing their Cura install which has the profile built in.

They sent me an early version of the machine and I think what they sent me was how to configure the Magician X but just change the print volume

Greetings, Can you verify whether the X setting for Ultimaker are the same for x2 with the settings you have?

[Asongalo]

yeah I looked and there's a Mingda Magician X but no Mingda Magician X2
