Export single bitmap image as 1-layer slicer file?

[rspeir]

I'm experimenting with using my Elegoo Mars2 to expose UV-sensitized copper clad board to make circuit boards, and as such, I need a way to get the printer to display a single image for several seconds to expose the board.

I see that I can open .png, .gif, .jpg, etc image files in UVtools, but it appears that I can't simply export an opened image to a slicer file.

I realize this is probably doable through scripting, but I'm getting kind of lost in figuring out which methods and data structures in the UVtools.Core codebase I would need to use. Could someone please provide a little bit of guidance?

Thank you!

You need to use the Actions -> Import under any sliced file for your printer and modify it with the image you want to expose.

Import your pcb image as:

If required is also possible to invert:

Fast and easy ;) No scripting needed. In fact it can do so much that most people don't know much of the functions.
