SLA can deliver incredible detail, but the finishing plan starts before printing.
Supports: protect show surfaces
Place supports on hidden faces where possible. A great print can be ruined by support marks on the wrong side.
Wash and cure timing matters
Over-washing can soften edges; under-washing leaves residue that affects paint adhesion. Cure consistently to avoid brittleness surprises.
Sanding stages (keep the detail)
Work progressively. Don’t jump straight to fine grit — it wastes time and rounds edges.
Primers: choose the right one for resin
A good primer reveals defects early and improves paint adhesion. Light coats preserve detail.
If you need a showpiece finish, tell us the intended viewing distance, lighting, and handling requirements.
