Rename "UltiGCode" to "Reprap Volumetric" #50

Cura now has its own "UltiGCode" flavor as well as a "Reprap (Volumetric)" (due to the begging a pleading of yours truly). The difference between these two modes is that UltiGCode has a few special comments, starting with ";FLAVOR:UltiGCode" that the Ultimaker 2 parses to identify it as such and apply start and end codes stored in the firmware, and does not include any other start/end gcodes. The "Reprap (Volumetric)" flavor works the same way, except that start/end gcodes are handled normally (and need to include an M200 code to set filament diameter), which is what your implementation does. If you actually want to support UltiGCode (for the Ultimaker 2 only), you will have to include those special start codes that include print time and material data in a special format.

Hi I'm trying to understand the differences between a Ultimaker 2 generated G-code and a prusa mendel reprap g-code, in order to use the rep rap gcode on my ultimaker.

the g-code is generated trough a 3d modelling software and the only way to use it is to "translate" it in ulticode. trying to understadn which line of the star and end g-code i have to chang e will be great!

here the gcode
