I fond it rather weird the way the positioning works. The hinge is on the right side and the from on the front side in PreForm, but in reality … the hinge is on the left and the from on the front. Considering i do prints that use lot of resin, this causes often the problem of ending up positioned in the back right corner where the resin ends first. Is there something i am missing in the settings to change this standard positioning? ---

Yes, you’re looking at it upside down. The image in PreFrom has the build plate at the bottom, but in reality the printer builds with the plate at the top. Flip the image over in your head and it’ll make sense. ---
