Low hanging fruit:

1. Translations - KDE apps have to have their UI strings in US
English, and use either KLocalizedString (preferred) or qsTr for
translation.

2. Unless you're using QML and a fancy custom-everything UI, you
shouldn't be using custom fonts. We have a HIG that apps are expected
to conform to: https://techbase.kde.org/Projects/Usability/HIG.
Thankfully, we have a lot of people here to help with the UI, so that
shouldn't be a drain on your energy.

3. Code comments, class and variable names in English, please (can be
UK English too). English is the one common language that the vast
majority of the developers here know - so more people will be able to
understand the code and help out.

Design notes:

Wouldn't it be better if KI ran as a separate daemon, like cupsd? From
what this project sounds like (a tool to print models using multiple
3D printers, KI is analogous to cupsd in that it provides uniform
access to 3D printers). If that's the case, we'd want not just
Br-Print3D but also other apps to directly use KI to print stuff from
directly inside the 3D modelling app.
