Option to render retractions #223

Open sophiedeziel opened 1 month ago

I had that idea after investigating stringing issues that fused parts of a print-in-place flexible model.

Prusa Slicer has the option of rendering retractions. It's useful to be able to render that.

For this feature to be as accurate as possible, we'd have to implement the G0/G1 with negative E case as well as introducing G10 support.

The API could be very similar to what we have right now with the other types of renders:

{
  ...,
  renderRetractions: true,
  retractionColor: '#FF0000',
}

Can I suggest we do this in v3.1+?

Yes!
