Re: Zortrax M200 in Cura
I could not find my Hictop 3DP12 0r 3DP12 in Cura's 3D Printers list.
I found the closest a Ender 3 and modified the settings then created my 3D Printers Configuration.
later found a way to add it the list of 3D Printers when running Cura.
This is not really necessary though it was fun completing the task...
I was using the oldest Cura 15.04.6 and after creating the Profile I simply added it to the list
C:\Program Files (x86)\Cura_15.04.6\resources\machine_profiles
Newer versions of Cura you can simply create the 3D Printer from Preferences > Confige Cura > Printers > Custom > Select the closest Printer.
Modify this selected 3D Printer to work then rename to your 3D Printer.

Re: Zortrax M200 in Cura
Two things....
1) Make a custom machine based on the settings you know
2) If you are on social media, most of the printers have a relevant Facebook Group. I've seen most of them have a Files area and members shared Simply3D Profiles (FFF) and some have Cura profiles too
