- (Add) Transition layers: If you are printing flat on the build plate your model will print better when using a smooth transition exposure time instead of a harsh variation, resulting in reduced layer line effect and avoid possible problems due the large exposure difference.
This is not so important when your model print raised under a raft/supports unaffected by the bottom exposure, in that case, it's fine to ignore this.
- (Add) Model position: Printing on a corner will reduce the FEP stretch forces when detaching from the model during a lift sequence, benefits are: Reduced lift height and faster printing, less stretch, less FEP marks, better FEP lifespan, easier to peel, less prone to failure and use the screen pixels more evenly.
If the model is too large to fit within the margin(s) on the screen, it will attempt to center it on that same axis to avoid touching on screen edge(s) and to give a sane margin from it.

- **(Add) Suggestions:**
- A new module that detect bad or parameters out of a defined range and suggest a change on the file, those can be auto applied if configured to do so
- **Avaliable suggestions:**
- **Bottom layer count:** Bottom layers should be kept to a minimum, usually from 2 to 3, it function is to provide a good adhesion to the first layer on the build plate, using a high count have disadvantages.
- **Wait time before cure:** Rest some time before cure the layer is crucial to let the resin settle after the lift sequence and allow some time for the arm settle at the correct Z position as the resin will offer some resistance and push the structure.
This lead to better quality with more successful prints, less lamination problems, better first layers with more success of stick to the build plate and less elephant foot effect.
- **Wait time after cure:** Rest some time after cure the layer and before the lift sequence can be important to allow the layer to cooldown a bit and detach better from the FEP.
- **Layer height:** Using the right layer height is important to get successful prints:
Thin layers may cause problems on adhesion, lamination, will print much slower and have no real visual benefits.
Thick layers may not fully cure no matter the exposure time you use, causing lamination and other hazards. Read your resin dtasheet to know the limits.
Using layer height with too many decimal digits may produce a wrong positioning due stepper step loss and/or Z axis quality.

* For more information see the script sample: https://github.com/sn4k3/UVtools/tree/master/UVtools.ScriptSample
* To run scripts go to: Tools - Scripting
* **File formats:**
