Is there an existing issue for this feature request?

I have searched the existing issues

Many default profiles are now outdated, they don’t hold up with today’s printers firmwares or the updates added over time.

For example, the K1’s default profiles are already a year old. There have been many new features and discoveries since then, but that profile is stuck in time.

The same goes for Creality Hi or the Bambu P1S, and many others!

I actually had to manually check my macros because my year-old default printer profile still had them set up incorrectly, it had an early version of START_PRINT which were causing some artifacts.

Which printers will be beneficial to this feature?

All

Describe the solution you'd like

There should be a better way for maintainers or hobbyists to globally update these profiles for everyone.

Describe alternatives you've considered

A networked feature like creality print already does, with an integrated tab with the best rated profiles
A new website to upload and rate people's profiles with buttons like "Add to Orca"
Drop your ideas below!
