New Formlabs Local API examples: speedrun.py and print dialog

Two new examples were added for the Formlabs Local API using the API Python library:

  1. speedrun.py
    An example of using the Local API and the new Print Settings Editor capabilities to make variations of a .form file with print settings changes that increase print time (at the possible risk of decreasing print quality or print success). This demo was shown during the keynote for the Form 4L and Developer Platform launch.
  2. Reference Print Dialog Implementation
    An example showing how an integration could build Formlabs printer and print setting selection into an external application. For example, if a 3D modeling application already had a printable model and wanted to add a “Print” button into the application without launching PreForm. The code is meant to be a reference implementation: it shows what sorts of API calls and how they could be used to create UI elements, but we assume real integrations would reimplement the code within their existing application.
