Thread: Shrinkage

    if we asume shrinking is instant that would mean that any figure you draw in x/y would become smaller and the path that laser took would be free space (partially) what would happen if you redrew the layer essentially making a thicker wall by putting new cured resin in that free space left behind by the first run.
    Would this lead to a final product closer to the desired output ust with a slightly thicker wall and higher material usage?

    Good point!
    yes I agree that this is very plausible, In a way the x and y could be somewhat self compensating for the outer dimensions of a symmetrical print.
    I would think the thickening would occur toward the centre.
