Overview

Add integration with Elegoo Slicer (priority) and Orca Slicer to automatically track filament usage from prints.

Priority: Elegoo Slicer

Elegoo Slicer is the primary target since it's used with Elegoo printers. It's a fork of Orca Slicer so the integration should work for both.

Features to Consider

1. Filament Usage Tracking

Parse G-code for filament usage estimates
Auto-decrement spool weight after print completion
Support for multi-material prints

2. Spool Selection in Slicer

API endpoint for slicer to query available spools
Filter by material type, color, remaining weight
Return spool-specific settings (temps, etc.)

3. Profile Sync

Push filament profiles from Spoolman to slicer
Sync temperature settings, density, etc.
Support custom filament presets

Technical Notes

Elegoo Slicer is a fork of Orca Slicer
May need to create a slicer plugin that talks to Spoolman API
Similar to existing Klipper/Moonraker integration pattern
