Cetus3D: reconstructing printer status messages

Cetus3D reconstructs status communication between UP Studio and a Cetus3D printer using Wireshark captures and experiments. Python and Arduino implementations discover the printer and query print progress, layer, remaining time and temperature; the capture notes describe network message exchanges.
