Not the OP, but what do you mean by this? I feel there's an implication that it should be laid out a different way?
Contrary to fdm printing, resin printing doesn't like large xy cross-sections because that means huge forces between the part and the fep.
This suction and pulling can lead to delamination of layers.
You typically want to angle parts and spam a bunch of supports. Which really is usually the opposite of what you wanna do on an fdm printer.
Ah, I did not pick up on this being a resin printer. Thanks for the info, I'm not too aware on the tech behind resin
With resin printers you don't want to print flat on the build plate, you want them angled. I'm not the best person to explain this since I've only worked with FDM printers but nobody else seems to want to answer lol.
