We recommend Autodesk Meshmixer 3.1 for Moai user for its versatility and features. You could also use Print Studio for support generation with modification to build volume:
To set it up:
For Autodesk Print Studio, after installation, please run the program and select your printer as Ember. Then exit the program.
Go to C:\Users\xxxxx\AppData\Local\Autodesk\Print Studio\printDB xxxx is your Windows user name
*You may have to unhide those directories first in the folder option before you see them.
Find the file: printerTypes.json
Use a text editor to edit the file, go to line 20 there and change the three numbers in line 21, 22, 23 to this
"bed_size": [
13,
13,
18
],
Save and exit
And it is ready for Moai user.
You could also use this steps for other SLA printers.

A few notes about Print Studio:
- Regarding workflow, it is the most intuitive and specifically built for SLA printer. This is its best points
- You can use it to add support but not for slicing for Moai
- Print Studio tends to over add support. We use overhang angle = 0 in Meshmixer.
- I wish it has more features like add base, hollowing, drain holes, plane cut, etc. It would make it more complete and seriously think about recommending it over Meshmixer
- Open it up to other SLA printer and make this tutorial outdated :D
