Standard Settings Option

This option are used to modify a large number of settings which are call "Standard settings".

The first time you used the plugin up to 70 parameters are modified this is mainly this standard settings. Then depending of the intent you decide to use less than 20 parameters are generaly modified. By uncheking this option the initial bunch of parameters are not modified.

Why is it call Universal Cura Settings

Initial settings comes from some profiles released by Jonas Idebrant aka printingotb on the Cura Facebook Group. The main idea was to publish an Universal Cura Settings profile based on his own printing experience. I had for a long time the idea to create a plugin which was able to set some standard parameters instead of always use some profile. When we merge the two ideas you got this UniversalCuraSettings plugin.

Note : It's still a "Concept" use it carrefuly.
