Fix estimation: replace 20% infill with 50% material factor, 32 g/h speed

The 20% infill assumption ignored walls and solid layers which dominate
most prints. Validated against Bambu Lab Studio for a GF lid:
  model volume 26.09 cm³ × 0.50 × 1.24 g/cm³ = 16.2 g  (actual: 16.24 g)
  16.2 g / 32 g/h × 60 = 30 min                          (actual: 30.5 min)

New env vars (read at request time, no rebuild needed):
  MATERIAL_FACTOR=0.50        fraction of model volume that becomes filament
  PRINT_SPEED_G_PER_HOUR=32   matches Bambu Lab at normal quality

Card header now shows active assumptions including speed.

MATERIAL_FACTOR (env, default 0.50):
Fraction of model volume that becomes actual filament.
'20 % infill' in the slicer does NOT mean 20 % of volume is printed —
walls, top/bottom solid layers, and shells are 100 % solid and typically
dominate. Empirically ~50 % of model volume is printed for typical FDM
parts (validated against Bambu Lab Studio output).

Average material throughput in g/h. ~32 g/h matches Bambu Lab printers
at normal quality; slower printers (~20 g/h) can be set here.
