Feature request: Organisation managed profiles

I organize a bunch of printers at our University of Antwerp (Belgium). And would like to make some standard settings choices simpler for the students and colleagues. What i would love to have would be like the additional boards manager url's in Arduino. Where settings can be managed by the organisation. So that when students enter the url in there, they wil get the possible profiles and materials available at our printing room. Without mistakes.

Like you guys host the profiles update on your site that gets checked and updated if anything gets changed it would be great to provide such custom url that organisations can manage and update remotely. This might also help out a bunch of Fablab's and such.

This is a feature request

STL/Config (.ZIP) where problem occurs

I think you can already do that.

Did you try to copy & rename the prusaresearch.ini in slic3r/resources/profiles, and then modify it to suit your needs? I've done that for my father printer, so it can "install" it via the menu.

I didn't tested the config_update_url, but i think it will also work as intended.

I agree, you can do that already.

It would be nice though, if you could enter an URL to a 3rd party profiles somewhere into the configuration wizard in a way similar to Arduino, and it should not be too difficult to implement.

It is not possible to create a custom profile with a custom config_update_url property for automatic updates. These lines in the code prevent loading updates from any URL different to http(s)://files.prusa3d.com/wp-content/uploads/repository/.

If @prusa3d really thinks it's too dangerous to load profiles from other hosts out-of-the-box, please give us an option to overwrite this check in the settings.
