Scale Support #164

Would it be possible to also implant support for the HX711 Scale Sensor? Since i have read that it has some issue with the Vibrations and Tension of the Spool while Printing if would greatly benefit the Plugin while it's not. Since i have already encounterd a few times that there is a miscalculation or rather times where you plugin does'nt subtract the used filament from the Spool it would be nice to have a way to automatically update it before or after a print with the real weight of the Spool.

Also the Sensor is just 2€ or something with Shipping on AliExpress, took me 2 weeks to get it.. But anyway i like you filament manager more than the other one that is actually using the Sensor, since you also got external DB Support and i can add different spool from different brands.
