Plugin help - Get build volume

Development
1

Is there a function I can use within OctoPrint to pull the currently loaded profile's build volume? From either the python or javascript side, doesn't really matter.

Think I figured it out. Added dependency to printerProfilesViewModel and used the following in my javascript.

var maxX = self.printerProfilesViewModel.currentProfileData().volume.width();
var maxY = self.printerProfilesViewModel.currentProfileData().volume.depth();
var maxZ = self.printerProfilesViewModel.currentProfileData().volume.height();

You need to be careful if the user has a custom volume. I have some python to extract it here:

octoprint_printer_profile = self._printer_profile_manager.get_current()
volume = octoprint_printer_profile["volume"]
custom_box = volume["custom_box"]
# see if we have a custom bounding box
if custom_box:
    min_x = custom_box["x_min"]
    max_x = custom_box["x_max"]
    min_y = custom_box["y_min"]
    max_y = custom_box["y_max"]
    min_z = custom_box["z_min"]
    max_z = custom_box["z_max"]
else:
    min_x = 0
    max_x = volume["width"]
    min_y = 0
    max_y = volume["depth"]
    min_z = 0
    max_z = volume["height"]

This code was modified to fit in this example and requires some modification. It also requires some injected properties to work. Let me know if that helps.
