So we're switching from $42/l cheapass resin to $200/l Easycast HD. So we have to profile it.

Here's our best bet with cheapass resin.

Here's our best bet with purple passion.

Note that this is tedious. You have to print a resolution test that gives you a grid of eight samples each a second apart. The purple passion is even more annoying because while the clear shit comes out kind of like a Jolly Rancher? Or sticky fingernail? The purple passion is somewhere between "gummy bear" and "parmigiano reggiano." So then you need to hit it with alcohol briefly, immerse it in glycerine, hit it with UV light, clean it, let it dry, do the hokey pokey, etc. You'll note that at the initial recommended settings, the shit didn't even stick to the build plate.

But eventually you get the settings you need and you're all happy and

...well shit.

So let's chat with the makers of purple passion and figure out what's going on. In the meantime, the plague mask is fun an'all but visibility kinda sucks so let's see if the Internet has come up with a Covid Bane mask and of course they have. You start with an existing Covid mask

And add a thingy on the front and here's where things get shitty: the build plate on my tiny shitty printer is about the size of a cell phone so this thingy actually sticks out a little bit which you figured would just clip the file but nope, it corrupts it like a mutherfucker

...and it doesn't fit the Covid mask anyway because apparently one of them went Rev2 without the other knowing so now we're at Rev2 on the one but have reverted to Rev1 on the other because Thingiverse? It's pretty much DeviantArt for people who can't draw so we'll fuck with that in a minute but we've been given instructions on how to unfuck the falcon so as you were posting this

...so wish me luck.
