    Adpatative layer height would be a great contrinution to resin printing.
    Considering a cube with rounded cornes, the slices can use 0.1mm or 0.05mm and in the at the planes with cornes reduce that layer to 0,03 or less.
    In resin printer I bet it's easy to implement by developers, because our x and y resolution are always the same and the shrink compensarion of the resin is a spec of the resin that you will print all the model.
    Juts a idea, they implemented on a less stable and precise method, filament print, why not in resin print?

    0.02 or 0.035mm but a lot depends on anti aliasing, which does not always work correctly with different applications, for example with anycubic mono se, this is a pain. Tell us about smoothing or post processing, how do you cut the model and do you use sandpaper?

    My current default layer height is 0.025 mm, that compromise works well for me. I follow the setting recommendations of GrimDark Terrain, which produces terrain for Adeptus Titanicus, which in turn tends to have many surfaces that would show the stairs of 0.05 mm layer height too well for satisfaction.

    Very interesting video, thanks a lot :) In my case, I always used 0.05 mm layers and I especially see them for faces that very horizontally orientated (for example, if we rotate a standing character at 90°, we'll see layers on the front). Less I incline it, less they are visible because I suspect the anti-aliasing option only applies on X and Y axis. I'll try to decrease it to 0.04 or 0.03 for my next prints, but not further.

    • @petrstastny5130
      @petrstastny5130 2 года назад +2

      From what I have heard, then simple rule is for every 0.01 lowering you should also about 10% lower exposure time. For example if you are using 0.05 with 2.5 sec exposure, then with 0.3 layer exposure time should be 2 sec (2.5 x0.8).

    @FineClonier 2 года назад

    It would be much more helpful to discuss the voxel (3d pixel). To get the optimal resolution and make x/y match the capacity of z based on 1, 2, 4, and 8k options. This would also matter to the size of your screen. My Epax X1 with a 5.5” 4K screen has a smaller pixel (31.5 micron) versus a 6.6” (~35 micron) which would continue to be less resolved at a 13.3” or 15.6”. By comparison a 10.1” 8k would have a 28.5 micron pixel and if that 8k screen were smaller resolution would continue to rise. So if time/optimal printing is considered the shape and the x/y has to be considered and is a square voxel or a flat rectangular voxel going to yield a better print.

      If your printer supports it, it should be. The thing is, the smaller you make your layers, the more it will take to print, and sometimes the difference is negligible to the naked eye. In this video, we tried showing what could be a sweet spot, so you don't need to worry about it yourself 😉

    I find it best to make sure my Z resolution is the same as my XY resolution.
    Why have it better or worse when at the end of the day you're limited by the screen anyway?

    For me it depends, since I am 14 years old and I have to go to school, when I'm home i print with 0.05mm layer hight since I want yo be able to print good prints but quickly. But when I go to bed I insert prints of 0.01mm layer hight because I will not be able to take them out until 6pm next day
