Dear Dan,
I have worked with this build style for quite a while, It started with
a need for small, super fine layer parts. Since I am still using an
SLA250 and the DOS slice and prepare software, I can do this very
easily. I just slice the object twice, once at .002" inch for borders
and once at .006" inch layer for hatch and merge them together. You
get super smooth walls and a fast build.
I first started using this style about 3 1/2 - 4 years ago with my
SLA250 and the old "Doctor Blade" recoater. I kept experiencing blade
contact on .002-.003" layers and this was my solution. I have since
upgraded to a Zephyr and it works also. Since I still use the Cibatool
Sl5149 Resin due to my need for water proof parts, I have had to
improvise with build styles to get good results.
Just remember, recommended build parameters are like the US Army,
"It's a great place to start!" You should try new things every now and
then just to see if there is a better way.
Anyway, I am very glad to hear that I am not alone out here.
Sincerely,
Larry Blasch
