Problem or Use Case

The current cost calculation in the Archive only accounts for filament usage and does not include energy consumption.
For users who have their printer connected to a SmartPlug-enabled, this results in an incomplete view of the true print cost.

Including energy cost would provide a more accurate total cost per print and better reflect real operating expenses.

Proposed Solution

Extend the Archive cost breakdown to include energy cost:

Display the energy cost below the existing filament cost
Display a total cost combining filament and energy usage
Use energy consumption data when available (e.g., via Tasmota integration)

Alternatives Considered
