UM3 nozzle profiles remember settings of 2 nozzles, sometimes confusing and unfriendly.

· UM3 nozzle profiles remember settings of 2 nozzles, sometimes confusing and unfriendly.
I find it to be just fine the way it is. Not that your idea does not merit consideration, but here is my approach.
I rarely do 2 color prints, so that may color my input. (Pun intended)
But when I make a profile, it is either with or without supports. So, this does not really affect my way of working.
But, I have also taken to saving "Project Templates" so that it loads everything with a small dummy model. I then clear the buildplate and load the model I wish to use.
Too many times, I have relied on a profile, then forgetting that this profile had hollow objects and wind up with support material inside the model that will not come out.
Using the dummy template project alleviates the need for a super long profile name to rummage through and I find a description of the type of project and material suffices for me.
Since it is a vase (spiralize) print, I know that the PVA is just a brim. I am finding that almost all of my prints (PLA for the most part lately) seem to work fine with minor temp adjustments and that is not an issue as it limits the number of things I have to remember.
In the Cura 5.8 stable release, everyone can now tune their Z seams to look better than ever. Method series users get access to new material profiles, and the base Method model now has a printer profile, meaning the whole Method series is now supported in Cura!
We are happy to announce the next evolution in the UltiMaker 3D printer lineup: the UltiMaker Factor 4 industrial-grade 3D printer, designed to take manufacturing to new levels of efficiency and reliability. Factor 4 is an end-to-end 3D printing solution for light industrial applications

An example would be:
UM3E_VaseTemplate_PLA-PVA-08mm_04layer.curaproject.3mf

Another example would be:
UM3E_StatueTemplate-30gradin-3W_PLA-PLA-04mm_015layer.curaproject.3mf
A template for:
UM3E_StatueTemplate: Statue type of print
30gradin: 30% Infill gradual ( I will always choose the type on the fly at this time.
3W: 3Walls
PLA-PLA: 2Color Print
04mm_015layer: 0.4mm Nozzle with layer height of 0.15mm
But, that is just me. As I said, your idea does merit consideration and I shall do so.![:)](//content.invisioncic.com/ultimake/emoticons/5a33abdf6d109_1f60acopy.png)
Always room for a different outlook.....
