Does anyone have any tips or tools to help with managing printer profiles using inheritance? I primarily use SuperSlicer but have been dabbling with Orca Slicer recently.
I want to make a master printer profile, then have child profiles for specific purposes (production / draft, different layer heights, etc) that only override specific settings.
SuperSlicer has profile inheritance but if you make a change to the master profile, you have to manually propagate it into every child profile which is painful and error prone.
Orca Slicer also appears to have inheritance but you don’t seem to be able to choose a user profile as the parent profile (only the immutable system profiles), which makes it useless.
I am thinking about creating a makefile driven system or python script to generate the child Super Slicer INI profiles… but it kind of pains me to have to use a separate system instead of managing it from the slicer UI.

I also use SuperSlicer and find this issue problematic too!
Hoping someone has a suggestion.
