Using RTN( Rotating Tilted Nozzle ) to print overhangs.
This is not my work, and has been done by Rene K. Mueller over at XYZdims.com. This is a opensource project called Slicer4RTN, so if you're interested, it is on Github

Creality Print vs Cura: Speed
So I'm using beta version of Cura (5.5.0) with V3 SE profile from https://github.com/Ultimaker/Cura/pull/16796 and I just figured out that Creality print is way faster than Cura. As far as I can see, settings are almost identical; print speed is set to 180mm/s in both programs. I'm using stock PLA profile in Creality print and eSun pla+ profile in Cura - same temperature, infill, walls and fan settings.

New Feature for Cura?
In this case, Cura is an open source project, so the most straightforward way of submitting a feature request would be by creating an Issue in the code repository, where you can explain your idea along with why it’s important to you, who else you think it could be valuable to, and what you want both minimally and ideally.

Updated to Cura 5.4 and it wiped everything, now I cannot select Ender 3 S1 Pro. Any suggestions?
If you're using the Startup Optimizer plugin, try disabling it temporarily - it can occasionally interfere with the list of available printers. Should that not help you could manually re-insert the profile by copying this JSON into the appropriate directory (eg C:\Program Files\UltiMaker Cura 5.4.0\share\cura\resource\definitions).
