Week 4 - 3D Printing Adventure

Exploring Resin Printing

Going off-rails a little: I had some experience with 3D printing in our lab, so I was trying to just work with those printers. But those are resin printers, one fairly common, and one super-expensive high-resolution resin. Learning the cleaning procedures was quite an adventure itself.

After learning the intricacies of the resin printing process, I moved on to using the high-resolution printer. The results were extremely detailed, but the cleaning process for these prints requires precision and patience!
