Why this project?

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

So why this project? Well, in fact, I’m looking for a resin printer. I like to study and learn first before buying and get good and don't regret. 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 get a resin printer in the future, I can use PrusaSlicer instead of others. I've explored the other slicers and again, no one gives 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, e.g.: EPAX X1, slice, export a file, convert SL1 to native printer file and print.

Please note I don't own 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 a test subject. Proceed at your own risk!
