How do I create a full copy of a printer setting

When I run the Configuration Wizard for my Mk3S MMU2S, I have an option to include an extra configuration for a .6 nozzle. Since I have a .5 nozzle, this is a nice starting point. After completing the wizard, I can adjust some settings and save these printer settings.

The configuration is now saved a a User Settings. But now all the Print setting system presets have gone. No default set of print heights anymore.
This is weird. Why can't I just create a copy of the complete 'printer' to simply create alternate versions for different nozzles? Am I missing something?

Best Answer by Lichtjaeger:

Select the 0.6 printer profile again. Then go to the "Print Settings" tab. You need at least Advanced mode to see a "Dependencies" page in the navigation.

At the end of the "Compatible printers condition", you will find the size statement that affects the visibility. Set it to 0.5 to make a print profile for your 0.5 printer profile.

You will also need to adjust the "Extrusion width" settings under "Advanced".

Repeat for all needed profiles.

@lichtjaeger You can also use ">=" or "<=" to allow a profile to be used more flexibly. More notes here.

Yes, you can, but I would not recommend it for something like the extrusion width, that is directly connected to one nozzle size.

I use it to validate layer heights, ensuring selected height profiles are only shown for suitable nozzle sizes.
