LW-PLA Profile options

Hi all.. I'm just wondering why there aren't any LW Filament profiles in PrusaSlicer Config Wizard...

I use a lot of LW-PLA and have always just used the standard Esun PLA and pushed the temp(s). Is there an ini file I am missing. LW-PLA has been around for years & I have done many Slicer updates since and they are still missing from the option list...

RE: LW-PLA Profile options

I expect it's mostly due to the fact that Prusa sells their own filament.  Before Prusa got in the filament business they would provide profiles for some of the common filaments, but why would they put time and effort into make other filament work well when they want you to buy Prusament?  I use Hatchbox, Overture, GST3D and Prusament.  I find the Prusament settings work well enough so that's what I use.  You can of course create your own profiles if you think Prusament profiles don't work well.

Cheers

Thanks Bob.. I hear you.. But if that was the case why would they include near on every filament manufacturer of PLA, PETG etc etc but leave out LW-PLA from the options list...  eSun have been selling LW-PLA for years but it's missing from the list. Maybe more that the Prusa Printers or PrusaSlicer doesn't handle LW-PLA very well and they don't want to promote that fact... Who knows... And yes I have been just using the eSun PLA config and just making changes. It just seemed strange 'tis all..
