Description
It would be great to have a standard set of keys for the metadata.
For instance:
- Overall dimensions. The printer might reject or warn the user in case the printed model will not fit into the print volume
- Dimensions of the "first layer". It might be helpful so the printer could probe the relevant bed surface with a probe. It could reduce the probing time and, it could improve the quality of the bed mesh
- Total filament length for the print. It might be helpful on the info screen before user accepts the print
