If only I found that before drop the bottom-up desing for the top-down method...
What's the size of you plate?
Have you intention to try large plate (200x200mm)?
Congratulations!
Great Work man!

What a great service you're doing here. I am hopping on that flexvat build immediately.
Here's a wild idea. Why not tension 2 of the bolts with a 30% less/more torque, so that they offer more/less flex to the FEP on one side, so that the peeling always starts there. That would give you the tilting affect without the tilt mechanism?
Also, what about a digital torque adapter, so you can experiment with different highly precise torques:

EDIT: yeah that digital torque won't work without some hefty springs under the bolts. It's rated from 40 Nm upwards. Torque screwdriver it is then.

shown with socket
It is internally adjustable: you pick the wax plug out of the end of the driver, use the hex key to adjust it to the torque you want and leave it there.
If anyone can use one this is where I got mine:
these are the specs:
Sturtevant pm-15 (pm15)
3-15 in. lbs. / 0.33-1.65 Nm / 3.44-17.2

The part is hollow and translucent. What you see is the inside of the part showing supports and some resin that I did not clean out that hardened during the post cure. Also, the part is one half of a 2 part master for a silicone mold.

.005"/.127mm fep is a very tough material that can be highly tensioned without worrying about it splitting or being punctured.

You are not supporting the FEP film with a glass plate. Any specific reason for this ? Wouldn't it make it easier to avoid bulging of FEP film under the weight of the resin ?
(I'm completely newbie to this)

great to see you're also trying out the pillow/flex vat approach and having such great results.
i've been using the pillow vat now for some time and its clear to me.. i don't want to use anything else
cheers,

Very nice work, I just saw your blog post.
The silicone gasket is like the ones to make resin parts? (could you share any reference)
Waiting weekend test results
