Surface Smoothness

[jon@kudo3D]

Hugues and Kenzie - you are both correct. Any paint or coating will smooth out the surface but will come at the expense of resolution. The thicker the paint, the more resolution will be lost.

Kenzie - thanks for the offer for the design!

I was just on GrabCad searching as well. There are also a few 3dm files that I could convert as well. Let me know if the artist has a problem with it and I'll sen you another stl with artist info.

The 25 micron ring looks great. Can you share the amount of pigment that you added to the resin for this resolution (what layer thickness too). Also, approximately how long did you cure the resin?

Thanks

The pigment concentration is about 2-3 % and the exposure time is 1 second. Thanks!
