Thanks, 3DDave — you make a great point. After the first layer, the print is locked to the build plate — totally agree. The issue I’m concerned about is the initial alignment. Manual leveling can work but for larger prints, slight tilts cause uneven exposure and increase peel stress, sometimes...
Thanks, rb1957! Good point on creating a flat reference surface — and yes, I should’ve clarified the size. My build area is about 200mm x 120mm — desktop scale, not industrial. Pouring an epoxy layer sounds ideal for large machines but may be overkill here. What I’m really chasing is a dynamic...
Thanks for the suggestion, IRstuff! You’re right — general printer leveling is typically a one-time job with bubble levels or digital sensors. What I’m looking into is a bit more micro — focusing on automating the parallel alignment of the build plate to the resin vat’s FEP film surface. Even...
Hey everyone,
I'm working on a resin MSLA 3D printer project and exploring ways to implement an auto bed leveling system. I’m aiming for precise parallel alignment between the build plate and the resin vat to reduce peel forces and avoid print failures.
I’m looking for ideas, suggestions, or...
