Previously we used the PLA quality files to print Metallic PLA.
There were drastic differences in surface quality (matte vs shiny).
The temperature increase to 230 addresses the surface differences.
We reduced the print speed to stay within the max flowrate of
12 mm^3/s. Additionally, the infill rotation was enabled for
Metallic PLA (Similar to Sketch PLA infill).
Some other speed adjustments were made (walls, roof, support
interface, support bottom). These were paths that got slowed
down too much when adjusting the global print speed. These
adjustments were made to make up some of the lost speed
without sacrificing print quality.
The previous support material flow value was set to 90%. We
increased it by 2% to limit under-extrusion, which is more
pronounced at the higher nozzle temperature.

This commit adds support for the Makerbot Sketch 3D printer. This includes setting specific configuration parameters, defining a new machine definition and relevant build platform mesh. Material compatibility restrictions are also outlined to adhere with the capabilities of the printer.
