MK4 onboarding - AKA PrusaSlicer and PrusaConnect Integration

After about a month of getting an mk4 I finally got around to setting up prusaslicer and prusaconnect integration properly.  Which made me think there should be a better on-boarding process for new users.   I still miss octoprint but a lot less so that I can click on the button on printables and it sends it to prusaslicer and then once sliced in prusaslicer I can send direct to prusaconnect and hit go.

It would be nice to have that full tool chain process in one nice concise document for new users. I've been 3D printing for 10 years, self sourced and printed original prusa-mendel's after makerbot cupcake, sells mendel, then a wilson mendel. Using old slic3r/cura and reprap boards as well as a smoothieboard along the way and it still took me a month to get around to it, lol.  I bet alot of people don't have the same level of commitment stubbornness

I'm thinking a couple helpful things would be to bring some attention to those buttons on printables and prusaconnect that do the interaction if you have it enabled, as well as the tiny one in prusaslicer.  Bigger buttons with some movement/highlight to bring attention helps 🙂
