Fraud Wanglia Race/Rally... 3D
#2

I learned a few lessons with this one:
  • it's perfectly OK to overexpose the layers... better than failed supports
  • This resin needs a lot of cleaning in alcohol
  • thin walls will still print but feel soft... leave the print on it's supports after cleaning in alcohol and wait 24 hours minimum for the alcohol to evaporate out of the resin and let the resin dry thoroughly
  • part cure the resin whilst the supports are still in place, it'll reduce warping as the resin cures/shrinks slightly
Bodyshell mods can take all day (or night) to 'repair' by software, so I found it's MUCH quicker to export the bodyshell and added mods as a single file with the added bits (wheel arches, radiator, bonnet/boot thickeners etc.) and let the printer see it as one single file rather than multiple smaller ones (this will make future changes much easier too)

Waiting for software to 'repair' modified meshes can take longer than doing the actual print.  I prefer Netfabb to do the repair work as it doesn't affect the quality of the original file like 3D Builder does.
