[QUESTION] Filament management (in combination with Prusa Slicer)

[unclej84]

Question

Hello,

the latest 6.2.0 firmware allows editing of existing filament types and creation of custom ones which is great. I was wondering how this is intended to work in combination with Prusa Slicer (currently 2.9.0).
In Prusa Slicer i can differentiate between e.g. PETG and PETG Carbon Fiber. Both have Filament type: PETG which is probably (correct me if I am wrong) linked to default PETG firmware filament type. The difference is that one has set filament_abrasive to true but the other one does not. In the filament management on the printer it can be defined if hardened nozzle (Is Abrasive) is needed.
When pre-loading filament for next prints, how can I ensure to have the correct setup? Should I clone the e.g. PETG filament on the printer for CF version? Is there even a clone function or do I have to transfer all settings manual? Would this then work with the filament type from the sliced file (always e.g. PETG)? Would be nice if someone could outdraw the intended workflow/interaction somehow because I am confused by all the possibilities with the new firmware.
Thanks in advance for clarification.

Hello. Glad you like the new feature :)

1. This system is intended for user customization, so "synchronization" with the slicer is not intended.
2. For the PETG-CF (and other CF filaments), we could potentially resolve this by adding more adding more "preset" (uncustomizable) filament types. Not a priority though.
3. You can simply copy a filament profile by saving it under a different name.
4. For your workflow to work correctly, you probably want to copy a filament profile in the slicer and assign it some non-preset name, for example "PETGCF". Then, you would create a matching user filament profile on the printer and everything should work.
