  • Jamming up - there's three moving parts in the Peachy, if you count the water. If the water jams up then you've got a very curious problem. The mirrors themselves are unlikely to be an issue.
  • Software fault - probably the most likely cause. End-users will find all sorts of really horrible things you can do that the software won't handle well at first. Luckily software is easy to fix and/or work around.



"User failures" that I can think of:

  • Failed to plug in the audio cable
  • Failed to plug in the power cable
  • Wrong amount of water in the tank at the start
  • Insufficient resin in the tank
  • Printer is moved during printing, causing waves in the tank
  • Incorrect alignment causing distortion
  • Drip speed set wrong


Stuff like this will be useful for the team.
If anyone has other user errors they can forsee, list them here.
I'll add:
  • dust getting on mirrors (or scratched, smudged, wet etc)
  • too much water in the reservoir could cause spilling of resin
