Printer type MINI
Optional upgrades Filament Runout Sensor
Is your feature request related to an existing problem? Please describe.
Partially related to #1321
Describe the expected functionality
Display the current time (as per the internal MINI clock) on the display; like would be done on a phone.
It would make issues like #1321 less annoying, as you can see the relative time to the print finishing, based on the internal clock. And you also don't need to go find another device to check the time.
See also: #648 would be another way of not needing this.

Good Idea, but it should have Internet for that. So, in the best case together with the WiFi Upgrade :)

In addition to adding the current time, I'd like to see the remaining time on the screen, too. The current behavior when there's an internet connection is to replace the amount of time remaining (e.g. "Remaining time 1h 52m") with the time of completion (e.g. "Print will end Today at 13:14").
It would be helpful to see the current time, the end time, and the amount of time remaining all at once.
