How To: Perfectly Level Your Resin 3D Printer's Build Plate

How To: Perfectly Level Your Resin 3D Printer's Build Plate

Matt Hendricks
Sep 21, 2021

With any 3D print, a perfect first layer is essentially, especially so with resin 3D printing. Let's take a look at how you might be able to increase the adhesion of your resin 3D prints.

With any 3D printer, the most important layer is your first, as any inconsistencies and mistakes in this layer will cascade and affect every subsequent layer; it’s the foundation for the entire 3D print. An essential part of 3D printer preparation is preparing the build plate and ensuring that not only is the gantry parallel to the build plate, but that the build plate itself is “level... (More)

Successfully achieve strong bed adhesion for Laser, DLP, and SLA resin prints using LayerLock SLA Resin 3D Printing Build Surfaces.

Like FDM 3D printing, ensuring a printed part sticks to an SLA machine's build plate is essential to successful resin 3D printing. Strong bed adhesion is especially crucial when printing with resin due to a large majority of SLA machines favoring the stereolithography method of generating a print that is hanging upside down. Add on the fact that SLA printing involves some suction between the print... (More)
