@CaptainFlintlockFinn are those resin support marks? If so you could try reorienting your model to reduce the number of supports needed. Possibly experimenting with the number, spacing and thickness may get better results. I’m no expert but have found it helps sometimes.
They are indeed support marks. I’ve already messed with orientation and this is the position with the least marks so far. I haven’t really messed with support settings yet. Thanks for the idea.
As a consummate resin printer, a couple points: those support blemishes are a result of penetration depth and can be rectified by dialing that setting back while offsetting its load with additional, smaller supports. Furthermore, the photo indicates your object’s angle during printing is not the correct arctan, and I highly suggest you look into calibrating that accordingly. Lastly, and this is not to be shrugged off lightly: assuming the object is a prototype piercing adornment, please do your due diligence and research the physiological dangers of prolonged skin contact with not only MSLA resin but any/all varnishes, etc. you use in post-processing, as well. This is no joke; they can often be incredibly damaging with irreparable life-long effects.
Everything I found said that cured resin is inert. I did see that there are biocompatible resins out there but they seem to be mostly used in dental applications. I’ll keep searching though.
