MSLA/DLP, file analysis, repair, conversion and manipulation

This simple tool can give you insight of supports and find some failures. Did you forget what resin or other settings you used on a project? This can also save you, check every setting that were used with or simply change them!

I don't own a Prusa SL1 or any other resin printer, for now I’m only a FDM user with Prusa MK3 and a Ender3. PrusaSlicer is my only choose, why? Because I think it's the best and feature more, at least for me, simple but powerful.

So why this project? Well in fact I’m looking for a resin printer and i like to study and learn first before buy, get good and don't regret, and while inspecting i found that resin printers firmwares are not as universal as FDM, too many file formats and there before each printer can use their own property file, this of course limit the software selection, for example, only PrusaSlicer can slice SL1 files. So with that in mind i'm preparing when I got some resin printer in future I can use PrusaSlicer instead of others. I've explored the other slicers and again, no one give me joy, and i feel them unstable, many users slice model on PrusaSlicer just to get those supports and export stl to load in another, that means again PrusaSlicer is on the win side, the problem is they can't slice directly on PrusaSlicer, so, in the end, my project aims to do almost that, configure a printer on PrusaSlicer, eg: EPAX X1, slice, export file, convert SL1 to native printer file and print.

Please note i don't have any resin printer! All my work is virtual and calculated, so, use experimental functions with care! Once things got confirmed a list will show. But also, i need victims for test subject. Proceed at your own risk!

1. Download and install PrusaSlicer from: https://www.prusa3d.com/prusaslicer/
2. Start and configure PrusaSlicer (Wizard)
   • Choose SL1 printer
3. Close PrusaSlicer
4. Open UVtools if not already
   • Under Menu click -> Help -> Install profiles into PrusaSlicer
5. Open PrusaSlicer and check if profiles are there
6. To clean up interface remove printers that you will not use (OPTIONAL)
7. Duplicate and/or create your printer and tune the values if required
8. Look up under "Printer -> Notes" and configure parameters to the target slicer
9. Change only the value after the "_" (underscore)

• FLIP_XY Flip X with Y resolution, this is required in some cases, it will not affect Prusa output, only used for convertions to another format, use this if you have to use inverted XY under printer settings (Epax for example).

I highly recommend open the converted file into original slicer and check if it's okay to print, on this beta stage never blind trust the program. After some tests without failure you can increase your confidence and ignore this stage, or maybe not ;)

1. Windows 7 or greater
   1. If on Windows 10 N or NK: Media Feature Pack must be installed
2. .NET Framework 4.8 installed (Comes pre-installed on Windows 10 with last updates)
3. 2 GB RAM or higher

(Not supported yet)

There are multiple ways to open your file:

1. Open UVtools.exe and load your file (CTRL + O) (File -> Open)
2. Open UVtools.exe and drag and drop your file inside window
3. Drag and drop file into UVtools.exe
4. Set UVtools.exe the default program to open your files

Are you a developer? This project include a .NET Standard library (UVtools.Core) that can be referenced in your application to make use of my work. Easy to use calls that allow you work with the formats. For more information navigate main code.

• More file formats
• Clean up (always)
• See features request under Github

All my work here is given for free (OpenSource), it took some hours to build, test and polish the program. If you're happy to contribute for a better program and for my work i will appreciate the tip.
