FR: Use config-file when printer is off about klipper_estimator HOT 3 CLOSED

For now I was able to hack this to work by adding this to my SuperSlicer post-processing script:

./klipper_estimator --config_moonraker_url http://X.X.X.X dump-config > config.json #
./klipper_estimator --config_file config.json post-process

It comments out the path for the gcode file the slicer wants to append there 😀

Interestingly the dump-config command does work even if the printer is turned off. Trying to use the post-process command with --config_moonraker_url results in:
Failed to load printer configuration: Eof at 1:1 at ""

I guess if the post-process command was able to handle fetching the config similar to the dump-config command, this would not be an issue in the first place.

Hi @viljamip

I think this would be a better fit for a script wrapping klipper_estimator, than directly in the tool. If you end up making such a script, feel free to submit it as a pull request and I will happily merge it :-) It would go in the "contrib" folder.

Best regards,
Lasse
