Possible Simplify3D update?

[RaMcHiPTech]

Would LOVE to see this feature in S3D!!! They have a post processing script so if it could be done via the command line to already sliced gcode. Is this possible?

I don't see why the ability to view the 3D Model using the TFT firmware isn't possible without the plug-in.

Because it renders and extra file that is dumped onto the SD card for the model.

@RaMcHiPTech This might work for S3D maybe if it has a post processing script feature.
Since prusaslicer does not havea plugin feature a post processing script was written by a great guy which works as standalone. It works perfectly at PrusaSlicer. Try the same in S3D and write a comment at this topic.

Why this does not use .ufp format that already outputs thumbnail?

Currently, S3D does not have such a plug-in capability, but we are still thinking about how to do the same with S3D.

This will involve the implementation of GCODE parsing within the TFT firmware, which will require higher hardware requirements. Therefore, it is relatively more suitable to implement the icon function by using this plug-in method at present.

The integrated file approach can effectively reduce the complexity of the file system.

@bigtreetech why not completely change the thumbnail logic to prusaslicer's logic.
I know this time Cura will need a new plugin to generate thumbnail for the same logic as PS does.
Two different approaches generates complextieis.
