What does the pull request do?

Updated "printer_notes" parameter to fix issue with Uniformation GK2 failing to print and set all other parameters to defaults from the Uniformations slicer's gkTwo printer profile.

What is the current behavior?

Uniformation Gk2 cannot print from .gktwo.ctb file

What is the updated/expected behavior with this PR?

Uniformation Gk2 successfully prints from .gktwo.ctb file

Note: Only changes to "printer_notes" parameter fixed issue. Restoration of default values was not necessary, I just noticed they were different and decided to change them back to default. These defaults have been working well for me.

Fixed "Printer Notes" parameter and set all other parameters to defaults from the Uniformations slicer's gkTwo printer profile.

My GK2 accepts gcode after applying changes to the "printer notes". Updates to other parameters are not strictly necessary.

The printer notes are invalid, "normal" and "RestTimes" words does not exists in UVtools, ie: normalRestTimeBeforeLift_ they do nothing. Revert the notes back and try only with display_width and display_heigth as it is, maybe the problem is there.

Also I notice you using absolute_correction does that fix any particular problem?

Thanks for your help. It seems like just changing the display width has fixed the problem. I did experience a weird one-off error with this configuration. If it keeps working well and I dont get the error again I'll fix the pull request.

Regarding the other changes I made:

Printer absolute correction - I changed this to -0.02 because that's what Uniformation sets it to by default in their "Uniformation Slicer" (an old modified version of prusa slicer). I can do some test prints and measure them with some nice calipers to see if the absolute correction is even necessary, but I also think that this test wouldnt be very conclusive since you could argue that the material's "correction for expansion" parameter just needs to be modified instead.

Elephant foot compensiton - Same deal here, I changed it to the default from Uniformation Slicer. Honestly I dont really care about this one because I print everything on supports anyways.
