FYI: The 250000 baud problem on Linux is a PySerial/Kernel combination 
problem. They removed an old kernel interface to set custom baudrates, and 
replaced it with a new one. But PySerial is only using the old interface.

<br>hey :)
<br>
<br>&gt; It kind of depends on how you print. For me the files are
<br>&gt; temporary, because I copy them to my SD card for printing. If you
<br>&gt; print from within Cura, they are sort of temporary, because you
<br>&gt; don't ever touch them.
<br>&gt; 
<br>
<br>Of course. Currently I am at still at the stage of 'oooh, i wonder
<br>what this button does', and randomly modifying settings just to see
<br>what type of failures they result in ;) (good job on the defaults btw!
<br>Oh, except the baud rate; 250000 didn't work for my linux systems, it

<br>

<br>
<br>&gt; As for storing the profile settings, you can automaticly store the
<br>&gt; whole profile with the preference option designed for it. And you
<br>&gt; can also edit your start code to include the tags of the important
<br>&gt; settings you want to have with your GCode file. If you add a line
<br>&gt; like this in your start code: G21 ; Layer height: {layer_height}
<br>&gt; Walls: {wall_thickness} Fill: {fill_density} Then you will have the
<br>&gt; most important settings listed in at the start of the GCode file.
<br>&gt; (The G21 needs to be in front because SF currently still eats up
<br>&gt; all lines which only have comments) For more tags, just check the
<br>&gt; contents of a profile ini, because those names match.
<br>&gt; 
<br>
<br>Right, the thing is, should every slice result in a separate file, I'd
<br>want the settings to be stored in the file itself, by default, and not
<br>globally. And every setting, not just the big ones (but a good order
<br>would be nice). Once again, probably related to the trying out phase.
<br>
<br>Note this is just thinking aloud, not a feature request. Still want to
<br>look at the actual code, but having too much fun with the machine
<br>itself right now :)
