[non-generic material selection causes profiles to show "not supported"]

I have found a permanent workaround / fix to this problem.

 

Create a "custom" printer instead of using a pre-set from the list.

I have an Ender 6, so I initially used the Ender 5 pre-set, but ran into these problems as well.

I attempted to modify the .cfg files, but that did not work.

So I decided to create a new printer for testing purposes, and I chose "custom".

The Creality settings are no longer there, but you can always copy/create new settings that match those.

The settings available are:

1. Extra Fine - 0.06
2. Fine - 0.1
3. Normal - 0.15
4. Draft - 0.2
5. Extra Fast - 0.3
6. Coarse - 0.4
7. Extra Coarse - 0.6

I added / created Fast - 0.28 as that seems to produce very good quality prints for me.

 

Now new materials are available and "Not Supported" no longer displays.

Trying to install on macOS Big Sur and Cura 4.9.1

Following steps in your readme, all other printers, filament and everything is deleted.

Then when restarting Cura, the only option is to add a new printer, but it hangs and does nothing.
