Please add a Dropdown Menu for built-in Filament Profiles or from other Plugins.

This needs more detail to implement. It's unclear how you expect this to work or what you expect to achieve.

The slicer is pretty bare bones, it does slicing based on uploaded profiles. Mixing profiles from a bundle like slic3r can do from the GUI is too complicated for this plugin. I think that users who need a simple slicing solution should use the plugin and it can cover most use cases. For users that need to customize the profile beyond what is already uploaded, they can use a different tool.

By the way, you might look into the Slicer plugin. https://plugins.octoprint.org/plugins/slicer/

@ichbestimmtnicht I'm still waiting. Please try the Slicer plugin that I mentioned or provide further details of how you think that this feature should be implemented. Thanks!

I liked your post beacause i posted it into the wrong Plugin. But its a good idea for your plugin too. Split the configs into 3 parts as the desktop program does. and an editing function would be awesome. :)

Having three profiles is pretty complicated. Did you try using the Slicer plugin that I specified above? With slic3r and slicer together, it's pretty full featured.

When using both of those together, what do you find is still missing?
