Support Z Hop (and Z Hop Height)

[omdathetkan]

Z-Hop (and Z Hop Height) is needed for use cases like cutting or pen plotting in order to avoid travel lines: https://ultimaker.com/learn/transform-your-ultimaker-in-a-pen-plotter

Indeed this is one of the remaining print features that is not implemented yet. Since multi-layer prints have been completed, this is now the next one on the planning: https://github.com/Ghostkeeper/SVGToolpathReader/projects/2

I actually think I implemented it. Waiting on my colleague to test it... https://github.com/jorisa/SVGToolpathReader/commit/925938cd3a944baf80eaa1980ae005dde7164d32

Was this successful? @omdathetkan

@shardsofaperture You could look into https://github.com/Ghostkeeper/SVGToolpathReader/pull/8 . There was an attempt that seems to be somewhat successful, but had some extra bits that introduce non-standard g-code.

I just rebuilt my printer to be used as a vinyl cutter and your software works great for this purpose except the lack of Z-hop. Is there another solution for this problem?
