Prusa SL1 File Viewer

Open, view, extract and convert SL1 files generated from PrusaSlicer.

This simple tool can also give you insight of supports and find some failures. Did you forget what resin or orther settings you used on a project? With this can also save your time and recheck every used setting.

Why this project?

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!
