What it is
Brim is added as surrounding of the model on the first layer by offsetting the first layer.
It is a feature which may help to improve the adhesion of the model to the printing surface.
Especially for plastic which is likely to warp like ABS this can improve the print quality:
Skirt is nearly the same, but with a space between the model and the skirt.
It is used to prime the nozzle before starting the actual print.
I think for now it is enough to just add a configurable count of lines as perimeter and skirt.
