Feature: open generated model in external slicer #69

Description

@vycdev2

Summary

Add a button/option to directly open the generated 3D model in an external slicer (Bambu Studio, Orca Slicer, PrusaSlicer, Cura, etc.) after generation completes.

Use Case

After generating a multi-color 3D model in Kromacut, users typically need to manually save the file, navigate to it in their file manager, and open it in their slicer of choice. A one-click "Open in Slicer" workflow would streamline this significantly.

Proposed Behavior

  • After model generation, show an "Open in Slicer..." button
  • On click, prompt user to select which slicer to use (with ability to set a default)
  • Opens the generated file directly in the chosen slicer application
  • Alternatively, could integrate with OS file associations and just use the default .3mf/.stl handler

Considerations

  • Desktop app only (web tool would need a download + manual open)
  • Could use OS-level file association as simplest first pass
  • Future: slicer presets for known apps (Bambu Studio path, Orca path, etc.)
