A thumbnail post processor for Sapphire Pro/Plus (MKS Robin Nano TFT35) 3D Printers

The PrusaSlicer thumbnail output isn't compatible with my Sapphire Plus printer - but I have standardised my 3D printing workflow around using PrusaSlicer and didn't want to go back to maintaining working configurations on multiple slicers (Read: I am sick and tired of Cura arbitrarily breaking support for my older printers with new releases) -- I digress...

So I was looking around for a post processor that could convert PrusaSlicer thumbnails to MKS Robin Nano TFT25 compatible thumbnails. Nothing I found worked, so I adapted code from the Two Trees Cura plugin and made my own post processor - which I am happy to report works! I am a C programmer not a Python programmer so I was not at all confident, but I could glean the syntax and logic.

Anyhoo I made a repository on Github for my post processing script here: https://github.com/whpthomas/tft-thumbnail

I hope others will find this script helpful.
