Change Resin settings in Preform

Hello,

Since I am only using 3rd Party resins with my formlabs Form 2 and some really dont work, no matter what I try, I wanted to ask if I could change the exposure Settings and Time. That would make printing a lot easier.

You can create custom exposure profiles for the Form 1+ with OpenFL, but not for the Form 2. Basically you have to pick one of the stock resin settings.

One other thing you can do if you need a lot more exposure is duplicate the part in Preform and line up the two copies perfectly - that will produce two laser passes for each layer.
