| + | ===== General SLA 3D Printing Workflow ===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | For any of our SLA printers, the workflow to get a 3D model printed is basically: | ||
| + | |||
| + | - Select your 3D model and the resin you would like to have it printed in | ||
| + | - Verify we have that resin on hand and have known-good settings for that resin and the printer to be used | ||
| + | - Slice the model using 3D slicing software (we currently use [[Chitubox]] for most of our SLA printing) | ||
| + | - Confirm that the sliced model looks reasonable | ||
| + | - Ensure resin vat is secured to printer | ||
| + | - Shake resin bottle to mix resin thoroughly | ||
| + | - Add resin to printer vat | ||
| + | - Ensure print platform (print bed) is installed and secured | ||
| + | - Place the cover back on the printer | ||
| + | - Insert USB flash drive with 3D model sliced for the appropriate printer | ||
| + | - Use printer' | ||
| + | - Wait for the print to complete | ||
| + | - Follow the post-print curing and cleaning steps for the printer and resin in use | ||

| + | ===== Our Resins ===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | We try to standardize on a set of resins that meet our material needs in terms of hardness, detail, color, and other qualities. There are many UV-curable resins available on the market, but these are the ones we have found meet our needs best: | ||
