3D Printer-based optical access tag cloning

Here in Romania there is a building intercom brand, Electra.
The old intercoms (which are still used today) use an optical access card (a plastic piece with a binary barcode printed on transparent film inside).
Since they are just a barcode, this simple project can clone them to resistant 3D-printed ones.

This is a tool made to generate optical cards for old Electra intercoms that are here in Romania, for easy cloning using a 3D printer.

Using it, you can replace your old access cards that are worn out with new tough and eco-friendly (if printed with PLA) access cards.

Final devlog!! Fixed bugs, tweaked the 3D print settings, and made the test print. It works!

The code for STL generation is finally finished!! Until next devlog, I will make the UI a little better and do a test print. Next devlog will be the last one before shipping.

Added English/Romanian language switching and preview card in which you can see the bits. (STL generation is not yet complete)

Added the interface (with basic features before I start making them) and CSS.
