Prusa Slicer Default Print Settings

Description

I hate skirts, I find them to be a big waste of time, a small waste of filament with little or no value. The purge line in the preamble is plenty for my printer. I got tired of turning them off manually every time I used a built-in print setting. By editing this file you can change the built-ins although you have to do this again every time a new "settings update" is applied. In the future I might automate the process with a file watcher mechanism that will run every night or something. I also like to print with at least 3 parimeters and I slow down the first layer by 10% from the usual 20.
