Validating Resin
Thank you for trusting me to give you the absolute best modeling resin! I personally use this every day, and searched all over the world for the best ingredients and qualities. I am working hard to dial in settings for every printer a lab may have. This resin is suitable for all 4K - 16K resolution printers (50um resolution or better). Before you do your first print, I recommend you do a 2 step validation just like I do for any resins I bring in. This will pay itself back in the long run, dialing in resin can be a nuanced process. Keep in mind that vat film type and wear can affect the exposure times dramatically. It does not mean a film or printer type is superior, it just means that we need to validate our specific system.
This is my "Calibration Cube". It is a two part file, which will over dramatize the results. What is great is there is no need to get your calipers out. Once file is printed, cleaned and cured, I want you to check the fit. If the tri-lobe does not seat flush to the internal stop, you will need to decrease your exposure .3 seconds or more. If the tri-lobe seats, but has some wiggle/play, you will need to incerease your exposure .3 seconds or more.
