Also, renamed anchor_skin_distance to anchor_skin_expand_distance.
The idea behind the shrink distance is that when the slope of the model surface
is steep, very slim skin areas are created close to the wall and if they
are expanded we end up with skin inside the infill that isn't required. So
by shrinking the skin polygons slightly first, the very slim areas are removed
before the skin is expanded. The amount to shrink defaults to half the wall
width which appears to work OK but may as well make it a setting so that it
can be tweaked if required.
This is the one. The actual commit that implements the issue. It doesn't do anything yet, this button, but it's how it should look.

Currently the setting 'resets' when you go out of the print monitor mode. That wasn't the original intention but it works kind of nicely. We'll bring it up in a meeting whether this needs to be changed.

The 'hovered' property was taken from the example of the setting item, but that doesn't exist apparently. I looked up how it is normally done in QML.

This is done by fitting tightly a rectangle around the grid of boxes. The boxes themselves have a white background but there is spacing between the boxes, which results in the little border.

Also fixed the indenting of the previous two labels to use spaces instead of tabs. I knew I was going to forget putting it back to spaces after working on a different project that uses tabs.
The information is duplicated now. I'll remove the old one promptly.

It lists the name of the printer it is connected to, and the address on the right side. This won't work for USB printing (it'll give errors there). I'll solve that later.

This boolean setting controls whether travel moves to the first point in an
outer wall will always involve a retraction. IMHO, forcing a retraction has
two benefits:
1 - avoids taking the ooze that would occur during the travel to the outer
surface.
2 - the slight pause when un-retracting could help reduce any ripples
introduced by the rapid movement hot-end movement.
These are delivered to me by Pedro J. of ABAX 3D Tech. I modified the file names to be in line with our code standards, and I modified the link to the machine definition to coincide with the file names that were changed there to be in line with our code standards.
The Prusa platform meshes say 'PRUSA' in huge letters. They are not the ABAX printers, though the structure is mostly the same. To prevent confusion I'm removing the platform mesh.
Just expanding the upper skins into the infill is probably sufficient for
most situations but if users want a symmetrical structure then expanding
lower skins too could be useful. Users will need to experiment to get the
desired results for a given model.
