Resin print time
Estimate exposure and movement time from layer count and your entered resin settings.
Results
- Resin layer count
- 1000 count
- Bottom layers used
- 6 count
- Estimated print duration
- 161.083333 min
Method
Layers = round up height ÷ layer height. Time = bottom layers × bottom exposure + other layers × normal exposure + all layers × movement cycle.
Worked example
Example inputs
- Model height
- 50 mm
- Layer height
- 0.05 mm
- Bottom layer count
- 6 count
- Bottom layer exposure
- 30 s
- Normal layer exposure
- 2.5 s
- Lift, retract and dwell per layer
- 7 s
Calculated outputs
- Resin layer count
- 1000 count
- Bottom layers used
- 6 count
- Estimated print duration
- 161.083333 min
How to read the result
With these example inputs, Estimated print duration is 161.083333 min. Use that value for the setting or decision named above, and read the other outputs as supporting checks.
Common mistake
Do not leave Model height at the example value of 50 mm unless it matches your own measurement.
Assumptions and limits
Enter your own tested settings. The cycle includes lift, retract and dwell. Transition layers, pauses, setup, washing and curing are excluded.
