When you change the printer setting from a Form 1+ to a Form 2, Preform forces you to regenerate the support structure.
In old versions, if you wanted to maintain the existing lattice you could bypass this prompt by changing your settings to the new printer first, and then opening the form file containing the model. It would also work when you want to change resins.
That trick no longer works in the latest version of Preform. (I’m guessing it got 'nixed around the same time as they implemented the awesome ability to import old contact points and sizes)
Is there another way around this? Can I manually edit the file to trick Preform into thinking it was saved with a different printer?
I know most often it’s appropriate to regenerate the support structure. But there are times when I keep it. e.g. At the moment I’m troubleshooting a print that’s failing on my Form 1+, and I want to try out an identical print on my Form 2 without changing any other variables.
If there’s no workaround, it might be nice if a third option was added to this dialog like so:
![]()
Thanks!
