[FR] Use ufp files instead of gcode
jellespijker opened this issue · comments
During review of the plugin (v0.9.0) in noticed that the binary of a thumbnail was added to the gcode text file.
You might want to take a look at the ufp fileformat that we (UltiMaker) use to add such extra information.
It is basically zipped gcode with additional information. We use libCharon (Python module on our printers and in Cura) https://github.com/Ultimaker/libCharon
The G-code text file with thumbnail is an extended version of G-code plaintext. Currently, Firmware of Snapmaker printers uses the information to display thumbnail on the screen.
