    Ah, nice point. That video used a mesh build platform. I was assuming that you'd use a solid/flat build platform, like FDM printers do. However, they use it because with FDM the base of the part conforms to the surface of the build platform (so a rough build platform means a rough part) and using a mesh would make it nearly impossible to remove the part from the bed.

    The Peachy just doesn't care about that. The base will always be flat because it conforms to the shape of the resin (which is flat because it's a liquid). As long as some point on the base makes contact with the build platform, that'll keep the part in position and you can still get water coming in from the bottom. Presumably afterwards you could just lay a bit of sticky tape over the base (to seal it), dribble in a bit of resin (which will sit on the tape and cover the hole in the base) and then leave it out in the sun for half an hour to cure.
