Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I am using PolyMethyl Methacrylate (PMMA) Acrylic filament. I find there is no example of this type in Prusa Slicer to base it on. The MK4 printer does not have PMMA as a basic type for selection on Filament Load function.

Describe the solution you'd like
I would like "Generic PMMA" added to prusa Slicer Filament Settings/Profiles

Describe how it would work
Distribution of this filament type as part of regular PS Updates.

Describe alternatives you've considered
I tried using PETG as a base type for PMMA, but they are quite different in the characteristics. The MK4 printer has no base type of PMMA os Acrylic.

Additional context
Here are basic details of PMMA:
Nozzle temperature: 220-260°C (start with 240°C and adjust as needed)
Bed temperature: 85-110°C (start with 100°C and adjust as needed)
Print speed: 30-60 mm/s (start with slower speeds and increase as needed)
Cooling fan: Off or low (important to prevent warping)
Layer height: 0.1-0.2mm (thinner layers will improve transparency)
Infill: 20-50% (higher infill will improve strength but reduce transparency)
Density: 1.14 g/cubic mm.

Unclear is Max Volumetric Speed, and Extrusion Multiplier.

I join the request, for Prusa Mini. Any prediction for PMMA profile release?
