Better Profiling Feature Should be Revised

The current profiling are kind of in a mess and not to mention that there are several type of different filament requiring different speed especially for the flexible filament.

The current material profile only affects the temperature and extrusion while quality is only infill and solid layer section.

Not only that, I would like to add an another button feature "default" or "Reset Profile". The current software which is 3.1, after modifying the profile, it will add "modified" at the profile name and upon exiting and loading another session of the application, the parameter stays the same making the user had to select another profile just to reset the preferred profile back to its last saved state before being "modified". In addition, a checkbox in the option area should be added with something like "retain modified profile setting upon exit".

Profile renaming should be there as well to rename the profile according to the user preference

In summary of feature for these profiling improvement I will list them here
  • improve process window corresponds to their profiling
  • Add "Reset Profile" button to revert
  • Add "Retain modified profile setting upoon exit" in option settings
  • Profile renaming
  • Better profiling in overalls
I've been using slic3r for about a year and kind of satisfied with slic3r's profiling scheme, maybe you guys can take a look how it was done

Re: Better Profiling Feature Should be Revised

If you don't mind a little bit of text editing, you can decide for yourself what should be configured for the different materials and quality settings. Take a look in this thread for more details on how to do this:

Re: Better Profiling Feature Should be Revised

Although I don't mind that I had to fiddle with using notepad, not to make s3d sounds bad. My point is that the user experience for this software is kind of bad in my opinion, I'm still on the within 2 week trial and I got less than a week left for this software.
