I know the form 1 has OpenFL for making circuitboards, but is there a way to do it with the form 2? I have some experimental flexible circuit board material coming in and I need to make a UV exposure.  
I have a regular resin printer, but unfortunately it’s lcd is too small to make the circuit I need and anyways a laser galvo based system has basically infinite contrast unlike an LCD with a UV backlight.

Hi @Faustag,

The Form 2 has an [Open Mode](https://support.formlabs.com/s/article/Open-Mode?language=en_US) which may be what you are looking for. This disables some printer subsystems but allows the use of third-party resins.
