Summary

Remove/relax validation that prevents spools from exceeding theoretical weight.

Upstream Issue

https://github.com/Donkie/Spoolman/issues/299 (3 thumbs up)

Problem

Manufacturing tolerances mean spools often weigh 10-50g more than advertised. Spoolman rejects these with 422 error.

Current Behavior

Theoretical max = filament_weight + spool_weight
Backend rejects if measured_weight > theoretical max
Users cant save accurate measurements

Proposed Fix

Option A: Remove Validation

Just allow any weight. Trust user input.

Option B: Warning Instead of Error

Show warning but allow saving.

Option C: Tolerance Setting

Allow X% over theoretical (default 10%).

Recommendation

Option A - just remove the validation. Users know what they measured.
