@ChristopherBarr this shape was arrived at by @KevinHolmes possibly out of necessity but really it just demonstrates the issue with the minimal amount of resin wasted. For the back story on this go here. The tiny cylinders with the double helix in them were also from this thread. They are for the same basic function.
The point for the group was not that we needed this shape it was that it shows a common issue for a lot of our print failures goes back to this laser flare. The tall aspect means that the same areas are retraced over and over by the flare causing it to fully cure resin that otherwise would be uncured or gelled by less optical power.
