Those prints look great A7er!So, I don't know much about SLA printing, but what's the reasoning for printing those parts at that jaunty angle? I think the print bed hangs upside down and prints that way. So in your picture, the print bed has been flipped over after the print completed, right?). But why didn't you just print the parts with one of the flat ends toward the print bed? You could have had the big open end facing down to let the resin drain out. I'm just curious.Thanks,Kim

So slanting the job can help reduce the area of each layer.Quote, I don't know much about SLA printing, but what's the reasoning for printing those parts at that jaunty angle?

Another problem is the so called 'suction cup' if you have a periphery that encloses an area , fluid (air or resin) has to be able to get into that space , or a low pressure zone will form and, since the model is actually quite soft, this can distortion, puncture or rip the whole job from the build plate.
