CTC Bizer and Cura

I own an old Makerbot Replicator Clone, CTC Bizer. This worked fine with Simplify3D, but since I can't geht S3D working on my new Linux Notebook, I decided to switch to Cura.
This is what I found on the Interweb.

- https://3dkram.de/Drucker_CTC-Bizer/Cura_mit_CTC-Bizer_nutzen.html <-- besser ****)
But that didn't work out for me. For some reason the set temperatures were wrong (exchanged?).
This is what I did:
- Installed the X3G-Writer over the Cura Market Place
- Added Makerbot Replicator machine
- Setup Machine (note the center-option! (And no, flavour isn't right, but my version of Cura keeps resetting to Marlin…):
- Set start G-Code:
