Is there an existing issue for this feature request?

I have searched the existing issues

Since introduction of OrcaFilamentLibrary the new filament profiles use it as a base and thus are available for all printers. This is generally desireable as long as inheritance chain is followed and machine specific settings/limits are respected.

However there are existing filament profiles that were not migrated over to use OrcaFilamentLibrary and thus are not available for all printers.

Additionally when selected and appearing for given printers, they do show up in "unavailable" section. Editing filament profile to allow it to be compatible with "all" printers doesn't show it unfortunatley nor can it be used to create machine-specific profile for known filament. User has to manually create new filament instead of just using already available data + small tuning of filament.

Which printers will be beneficial to this feature?

All

Describe the solution you'd like

It's possible that #12060 fixes this...

Ideally - all filament vendors are enabled with basic info present and user is then encouraged to tune the filament. Additionally with #3240 a once tuned filament profile is used instead of system making for smoother experience overall

Describe alternatives you've considered

The alternative is usual: tune all filaments for all printers... But it's a bit sad knowing there's a lot of info already present and has to be duplicated...

Additional context

On top of bounty - a 1kg spool of Elegoo PLA Basic and a 1kg spool of any Anycubic filament (only avail where elegoo and anycubic deliver)
