I was thinking of using a peristaltic pump to control liquid height, rather than the drip. That also means that I can raise and lower the water level at will. So my thought was to run cycles where I raise the level, let the resin relax and then lower the level for exposure.

So heights might be like:
1 - expose,
5 - relax,
2 - expose,
6 - relax,
3 - expose
...

It will take longer to print, but because I fully control exposure time I should be able to get solid prints with very thin layers. Also, assuming the resin will coat the object sufficiently on the exposure step, I might be able to subtract some additional fraction of resin height in the fluid to get even better control.

Has anyone at peachy tried that yet?

I am in for two printers, so I was also thinking of using them together to speed up exposure and get double coverage.

Since the code is open, theses things should be possible to test when I get my printer, though the first one eliminates the worry about surface tension, I think.
