Do we have any Resin SLA printer users in here?

Me.. we use it for prototype work.. extremely detailed, easy to use, but on the expensive side. Our prints can go straight mold making though.. no "print lines" etc..

Can you share what are you using (printer/resin type), and do you have any issues with larger thicker block shaped parts warping?

After getting used the the process of printing with existing files on a resin printer, I created my own in order to make an alt-az control for my Dobson telescope.

Made with a curtain rod from the thrift store and resin printed parts made in Tinkercad.
Dang thing works!

I have neither the tools nor the skills in order to machine such parts, but the resin parts seem tough as nails.
I changed a lot of the parts following the above pics and replaced some. But with the resin printer, it's cheap as chips.

Formlabs, and several different resins, though the grey engineering resin work well. Nothing warps unless left in the alcohol tanks too long. I use their UV curing oven as well.

I have an Elegoo Mars (there's a Mars Pro coming late this month) and I'm still dialing in my slicer (ChiTuBox) settings.
