current set of variable substitutions

All Modes "pre" and "post" (header/footer)

• {top} = offset in mm of bed top Y axis

• {left} = offset in mm of bed left X axis

• {right} = offset in mm of bed right X axis

• {bottom} = offset in mm of bed bottom Y axis

All Modes "post" (footer)

• {time} = job run time (printing/milling) in seconds (fractional)

• {print-time} = alias for {time} ... deprecated after 2.8

• {print_time} = alias for {time} ... 2.9 and beyond
