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.
The first goal was to re-print a supportless design of the Great Wave. (Source: reddit)
The stl file I found online for this:
Subsequently, I printed it on the on the low-res resin printer. It turned out quite nicely:
As a bonus, after learning the intricacies of the low-res resin printing process, I tried some prints on the high-res printer, but nothing much came of it because the prints took so long and I ran out of time.
