Added a hot bed to my finder, can I still use this plugin? #19

Thanks for producing the plugin! I am sure many people are appreciative.

Long time Finder and FlashPrint boffin. But now I am getting dangerous, as I want to extend my knowledge.

Gist is at here, then here, and then here.

The basic story, I bought a second removable bed for my finder and mounted a hot plate - call me crazy 🤪. Plenty of thought given as to how to insulate, but obviously still needs testing (don't do this at home, yet).

The hot plate (obviously) means the bed is too tall for the finder levelling, and therefore the bed likely requires a reduction in the Z axis of the print volume.

Not sure how to deal with the levelling problem, unless I can drive that with G28 then G29 (Marlinesque), but a print should be doable, using CURA?

Is it as straight forward as dropping the "Gantry Height" in the "Machine Settings" with the "FlashforgeFinderIntegration", or dropping both "Gantry Height" and "Z (Height)"? Or is it going to need a hack of the plugin code please?

I assume, on a normal finder, the "Heate bed" and "Heated build volume" checkboxes are unused in any event? There seems no means to set the "Heated build volume" for example.

Cheers,
A
