    cad/UVtools

The current 3D printing environment is very insecure.  With the
exception of Prusa equipment, most of the networking capabilities and
supporting software does not protect any idea that might have commercial
potential.

The most popular Filament printers are Bambu labs and unless you root
the arm based board, all network print jobs go through a Bambu Lab cloud
servers in China.  I'm using a resin printer that uses Chitubox slicing
software in Debian.  When I start the software, I get a message that it
is unable to
connect to the internet.  Chitubox is not opensource.

A Prusa SL1 resin printer is $2000USD while my Chitubox resin printer
was $300USD.  The playing field is not level for small time
inventors/creators.

There is a utility that converts a  prusalicer file to a ctb file.

I'm going to test this in Arch Linux and if I can get it to print, I'd
like to port uvtools to OpenBSD.
