LEARN TO 3D PRINT
“Plug and print” 3D printing isn’t quite there yet. Fortunately, our community is very open to teaching newcomers. Join on us on Discord for more in depth information, the videos below will get you started though.
DIAL IN THAT RESIN
Learn to calibrate your resin settings!
Using our proven method of calibrating printers for each resin is the use of the Ameralabs town model. It prints quickly and is more indicative of a real print versus those flat exposure tests you see everywhere.
Once you’ve loaded up the model and tried some settings, how do you know if it’s correct? Watch this video to learn to read the model, what certain things mean, and how to know if you are under or overexposed. Need help reading it? Come to our Discord!
