What do people think of the Peachy Printer's print success rate is ???
I know with regular Filament based printers occasionally there are hiccups in printing where a print will separate off of the platform from the extruder or cooling of base support plastic. This results in a lot of wasted time and electricity.

The peachy printer in my mind should have about a 95% print success rate as long as the drip feed is working there is enough resin and nothing disrupting the laser beam or salt water.


So in some ways if there is less errors in printing people can actually save money if the error rate is reduced.
Only bad part you cannot reuse resin after it has been cured.
I think the trick with peachy is to print a shell and fill it with very cheap catalytic resin...... this brings cost right down, as catalytic resin can be purchased for £10 gbp per litre. I dont think we have enough experience to comment on the print success rate until the beta testers have had a go. But I expect you are correct in suggesting it should be substantially higher than extrusion printers. Presumably, support/distortion issues would be the only reason a print would fail i.e. some aspect of the print twisted or slipped as a result of overhangs etc.
