Build Your Own SLA/SLS

I reduced the exposure time and so far so good. What happens when its underexposed? I'll probably have to experiment a bit to find the sweet spot I suppose. Are the resins pretty consistent?

I took the plunge and tried to resurface one of my petri dishes with PDMS. I didn't have a leveling table so I designed and printed something up. Hope it works. I posted the leveling table on Thingiverse as a WIP. http://thingiverse-production-new.s3.amazonaws.com/renders/a6/60/f4/30/ab/Photo_Jun_26...

Oh man, I just realized why my description is confusing. It sticks to the petri dish AND its still on the build plate. As the plate moves up you hear it go thwack as the print separates from the bottom of the petri dish. Once it gets past the middle it stops making that noise.

Hmm. I think part of the problem is that I didn't realize that MakerJuice SF is not the same as MakerJuice SF for LittleRP. The prints with the MakeSolid were fine, which is why I think the plate is level. The base layer is fine, the problem seems to happen about 50-60% into the print (where one of ...

My first prints came out great using the provided MadeSolid resin using the default settings described in the youtube video for setup. I went out and got some MakerJuice SF Red. I tried the settings listed on the site, and the print kept sticking to the bottom of the petri, destroying the print and ...
