I finalized a guide for my makerspace here in Chicago - Pumping Station: One yesterday. This is a preliminary document intended to help folks understand how to use the slicing software. SLA printing can present some tricks and challenges not present in FDM/FFF printing, and I want this resource to be available to all!

If your makerspace utilizes Formlabs printers, please do feel free to copy, adapt, upload, do whatever you need in order to help your membership or colleagues use the machines as effectively as possible!

Please do keep in mind that this is strictly oriented around the software and links to several Formlabs help guides as well as a whitepaper on how to design for SLA tolerances. This document DOES NOT include safety information. Photopolymers are sensitizing and irritants, so remember to wear your safety gear and change gloves often when handling the material.
