Ultra High Resolution 3D Print

This massive STL file has hair thin details that actually printed. A startup jewelry company in Vietnam asked to have a sample part made and the STL I received was over 800MBs!!!!! Some of the detail in this part is thin as a strand of hair and I was very pleased to see these features actually get printed.

I printed this part with Maker Juice G+ Yellow resin. It was printed at 0.01mm layer height and 0.037mm XY axis resolution. Exposure time was 5s and base exposure time was 10s, 115 base layers were used. ~3800 layers per print were needed and took ~12hrs to print.

I address this in the video but there was a significant amount of background exposure that somewhat effected the quality of the part. Background exposure occurs when the black color from the projector isn't actually black and over time it cures a layer of resin that attaches to the print. The unsightly blobs that result can ruin a print. Thankfully they didn't overly effect the finish on this print.

This is the first time I've had to deal with background exposure and has only happened since starting to use Maker Juice. I have gone through a liter of Fun to Do resin and never dealt with background exposure issues.

This project definitely got me turned off of Maker Juice and in the future I would rather pay a little more for resin and get something that is easier to work with.
