3D Resin Printing

Calibrating Carima's "Nontoxic" Resin   So this is Part 2 of my experience with Carima's Nontoxic resin, focusing this time on calibrating my Saturn 4 Ultra 12k printer for optimal results. If you want to have a read of Part 1 from last week, which focused exclusively on the impact this resin has on air quality and your health, you can find it here .  Slicer Calibration As I'm using Linux (Mint) as my primary OS, slicer options are a little more limited than with Windows, but luckily for me the most widely use slicer (and my personal favourite), Lychee, supports Linux and so that's what I'll be using.  I'll be focusing on the Cones of Calibration V3 model from Table Flip Foundry for printing calibration, as it seems to be the most widely accepted way to dial in your printer/slicer for a specific resin. You can download it, and also read about how to interpret the results, on the  Table Flip Foundry  website here . In summary, you print the model an...

Thanks Carima!  For those not familar with Carima, they are a South Korean based company producing DLP and LCD resin printers, primarily focused on dental and biomedical use cases. As their business seems to be geared towards B2B, they are not very well known in the global consumer resin pri...
