Is there an existing issue for this feature request?

I have searched the existing issues

all of the resin printing software - Sucks big donkey balls...
none of them are very good compared to what we can do with orca for FDM

Which printers will be beneficial to this feature?

All, Others

Describe the solution you'd like

Much like what Prusa does, where you can pick the printer - and if you pick FDM, it uses the filament side of the software, and if you pick SLA, you get the resin printing side of the software

theres a lot less parameters needed for Resin, but maybe we could utilize the infill patterns as a lot of that is missing from resin oftware
effectively, same preparation of prints with positioning and orienting
need to be able to hollow the print,
need to be able to add holes to drain resin out of the inside of prints to create an empty shell
need to be able to add some infill texture for strength
need to be able to create supports - light, medium, heavy, or fully user defined thickness or taper - which for resin are almost all sticks/lattice with points on them
and then just need to be able to output to the proper file

most resin printers require you to put it on a USB key and pop it in the machine, so the network side is probably not necessary

Describe alternatives you've considered

other resin softwares for example
Chitubox
Lychee
Prusa
elegoo Satelite
