OctoPrint Version: 1.3.9 PrintTimeGenius Version (if you know): 1.1.6 What did you try: Load gcode using Cura's/OP API and still get PTG to do its thingy.

What happenned: Nothing. What did you expect to happen: I understand there might be a performance penelty if PTG calculates ETA while printer's printing. What I want to suggest is for PTG to start its thing and when ready to trigger printer to start printing by initiating M601 (in smoothie case). I can add the M600 in my start code. not sure this will work as I never tested these commands. just a general idea what can be done to overcome the issue in hand.

M600 | Suspend print in progress (use M601 to continue) |   M601 | Resume suspended print

Maybe this was solved by #91 ? It will allow PTG to work while the printer is heating up.
