One machine, one sequence, written down as it runs. That is what makes two resins
here comparable at all.
One machine, one vat
Every print here comes off the same TinyMaker,
with the same film and the same UV panel. Another panel, or a colder room, moves these numbers -
which is why they are measured here instead of copied from another printer.
The screen sets the limit
One pixel is 0.1275 mm, so no resin prints a
wall thinner than about two of them. A feature that fails is measured in pixels first; more than
once that has saved a round of blaming the chemistry.
Every print is logged
Exposure, resin, time and what the part looked
like afterwards - each step is written down as it happens. The published profile is the last line
of that log, not a verdict added later.
Density is weighed, not copied
Consumption is worked out from the
layer images and the resin's density, so density has to be measured - a known volume on a scale,
once per bottle. Until then the card says the number came off the label.
The method keeps moving
When the sequence gains a step, earlier resins
go back in the queue. Entries measured before the current method say so on their card instead of
passing as finished work.
One pair of hands
Tested and written by Viktoras
Šidlauskas, who maintains the TinyMakerWifi firmware. The same hands, the same printer,
the same notebook for every resin here.
