Plater Flow support app

This application takes STL files from a directory and plates them using Plater. It can then slice them with SuperSlicer and upload them to your printer using Moonraker API.

The goal is to provide a quick way of getting a bunch of STL's printable with your common settings. No hassle doing this all manually.

Tested on Windows and OSX for the moment.

After which you're going to want to make sure all the deps are installed for the application to run, like so

Usage

Alter the base configuration in settings.js. Create your own prints.js (example in prints.js).

And run it like this (example):

node index.js ./prints.js

After the command has finished you can view all the created files in the output directory. The Gcodes are uploaded towards your printer as well.
