I guess it's not possible to create Filament User Presets with the same name for different nozzle configurations
I want to be able to have different max volumetric flow rates with different nozzle types for custom filaments (not included in system presets) and yet not have to create a unique name for each combination. Example a generic 0.6 nozzle versus a DiamondBack 0.6 nozzle.
Systems presets dynamically modify the filament instance name depending on nozzle type and printer. There doesn't seem to be the same behavior for user presets. Also, there doesn't seem to be a way to setup a custom nozzle type. Example a 0.4mm Diamondback will have lower filaments temps and higher volumetric flow rate than a generic brass nozzle.
For example:
- Filament: Prusament PETG
- Printer: Prusa CORE One HF0.6 nozzle
- Filaments dropdown: Prusament PETG @COREONE HF0.6
- Filament Dependencies: printer_model=~/(COREONE|COREONEMMU3)/ and nozzle_diameter[0]==0.6 and nozzle_high_flow[0]
For my user preset (for example), I have to create a unique name for each filament/nozzle combination which is getting a bit tedious. Also, since they are not linked if I need to change something, I have to do it in all 5 instances (in this example).
- Siraya Tech PPA Diamondback 0.4
- Siraya Tech PPA Diamondback 0.6
- Siraya Tech PPA Diamondback 0.8
- Siraya Tech PPA HF0.4
- Siraya Tech PPA HF0.6
Wondering if OrcaSlicer supports this in a better way?
RE:
I think there is a way, but I haven't practiced much with it and it really isn't well documented. If you look at the .ini files that you get from Prusa you will see it is a hierarchical method of profiles with many dependencies on a higher level profile and only changing a couple settings for the lower level profile.
Maybe after studying the .ini files you can figure out how to make your own .ini files that you load as alternate data sources in the settings wizard?

OK, I'll have a look but seems a bit more complicated than necessary. OrcaSlicer, being a fork of Bambu Studio, being a fork of PrusaSlicer, seems to have inherited the same behaviour.
