40
41 ### Scale
42 Used a 1 mm:1 unit equivalency. The scale is very broad and numbers become arbitrarily large. 1 cm:1 unit scale would be better for future work.
43
44 ### GEM Mold Shell
45 Critical parameter is the thickness range. Must be thick enough to print and maintain rigidity, thin enough to remove post-resin cure.
46
47 Good parameters from the original cast:
48 - Maximum Thickness: 0.75 (mm/units)
49 - Minimum Thickness: 0.6 (mm/units)
50 - Remesh Division Size: 0.9
51 - Ramp: Linear
52
53 ### UV Curing
54 Using a Peopoly Phenom curing box, default settings for 3-6 minutes. Interval curing (5 min) would be better.
