6.9.1. Pad
The pad is a structure generated under the print - it’s
the base for supports. You can easily detach the pad
along with the print from the print platform with a
spatula.
The pad is recommended, however, it’s also
possible to print certain objects without it, depending on
the object’s shape. The pad can be turned on/off in
PrusaSlicer. If you want to
print with supports, using a
pad is strongly recommended
6.9.2. Supports
SLA printing is an additive manufacturing method:
every new layer needs to have something below it, so
there’s something to build upon. It’s not possible to
start a new layer mid-air. You can either rotate the
object until you reach optimal angles, so the overhangs
are small enough, or you can use supports. Supports are
scaffolding-like structures that are automatically or
manually generated in PrusaSlicer.
Supports for SLA
printers are very thin and they have pointed ends, so the
contact area with the model is as small as possible.
Supports have various settings (thickness, support head
diameter, object elevation…) and you should change
these settings based on the object you want to print.
Heavier/larger objects require more (or thicker)
supports.
6.9.3. Layer height explained
Compared to FFF/FDM printers, MSLA 3D printers
have a fixed XY resolution (determined by the resolution
of the LCD screen), so
the only axis, that dynamically
affects the looks of the model, is the Z-axis. How much
the Z-axis (the tower with the print platform) moves
between layers is determined by the layer height
settings.
The technology in the SL1S enables it to reach a layer height of 0.01 mm. However, this value is
not recommended for regular use, since there’s no real benefit in using it. Instead,
we’re offering
our presets with 0.025, 0.05 and 0.1mm layer height. With the SL1S printer, 0.05 mm is
considered the “normal” quality and we recommend sticking to it - it offers a good balance
between speed (time) and good surface finish with almost invisible layers.
Lower values will
result in better surface finish, but also in longer print times. Please note that certain resins are
limited to a narrower layer height range.
Using lower layer height will lead to more detailed objects, but the print will take much longer
to finish. To see an estimation of how long a print will take with various layer heights, check the
PrusaSlicer window after you slice an object.
