Prior to purchasing my creator pro I spent a great deal of time looking at the Formlabs Form 1 (now Form 1+) as I liked the enhanced resolution of the SLA process over FDM. I eventually nixed the idea after reading about a LOT of problems with producing larger prints since the majority of what I plan to use my printer for will end up using most or all of my build volume. It seems the main issue the Form 1 faces is during it's peel cycle where large prints take too much force to peel from the resin vat surface causing it to be damaged or knocked out of position. The other problem many seem to have is with adhesion to the build surface. Both problems, from what I see, are the direct result of the top-down build flow rather than bottom-up. I'm curious as to why the form 1 and so many other SLA printers use this method. It would seem that placing the laser above the build surface and lowering the platform after each layer like the fdm machines do would eliminate these problems entirely. The ONLY downside i see to this approach is that a much larger volume of resin would need to be in the machine at all times since the full volume of the build area would have to be completely filled with the material. Given the cost of resin I can see why it would be desirable to have only a minimal amount of resin in the machine but at the cost of failed prints and damage to other components it would seem to be somewhat false economy. Is there another reason for the top-down build method that I'm just not seeing?
