Nothing beats a good cheat sheet. So wouldn't it be great to have a single image, that encapsulated a tonne of handy 3D printing tips and information and have it be ready to hang on the wall in your own Makerverse. Well, we agreed so much so that we've gone ahead and created an infographic/cheat sheet hybrid that jams as much information as possible into an A3 Sheet. I’ve made some rad cheat sheets before in my life so I thought what better than take that expertise and make one for Resin 3D printing. Along with Wolf, our head of wearables and graphic design extraordinaire, I think we've created something pretty special.
So below is the definitive (until next revision) cheat sheet that captures all the information you need to make some awesome 3D prints using any Resin 3D printer.
