As starting to use the multiple bed feature in PrusaSlicer 2.9.0-alpha1 I was facing one missing feature.
I would really like to give the single beds different settings. Especially when working on bigger projects with multi functional parts, some mixing of materials, print settings is typical.
Describe the solution you'd like
A .3mf project typically has one major set for print or filament settings. When working with multiple beds a change of one of these 2 settings, can be copied to all existing beds or will only affect the current selected bed.
In #10704 this feature was already mentioned by @strayr.
Describe how it would work
Expecting working with multiple beds in the 3D space view. As soon, as the print or filament settings are change, a dialog could ask: "Should the change be used on all beds?". If not, a separate config should be saved for the current selected bed. All others remain.
Describe alternatives you've considered
If the separation of settings to different beds isn't that easy. Maybe an enhanced modifier could help in many cases. So maybe it is possible to accept layer-height changes, filament-material selection for modifiers. I expect this to have a significant impact to slicing in total. But maybe when accepting the option sequential printing to be enabled it could get easier.
Additional context
If possible a listing of the separated bed configurations inside the objects (tree-view) on the right side would be great. So maybe it's possible to be changed there as well.
