Not great news. The first part printed for the client at 0.1mm in clear v2, was a mess. It looks to have failed at about 80% and to me, it looks like the problem is getting worse. I spent ages orientating this part to insure minimal peal force is required during the print. The wall thicknesses of the part are between 2.5mm & 3mm . Orientation of the part. ![](http://forum.formlabs.com/uploads/formlabs/2738/11a85f8f9a453498.jpg) Approximate failure point ![](http://forum.formlabs.com/uploads/formlabs/2739/37bd755f6aa6d2ed.jpg) Loads of part cured resin on the rearward face (the face perpendicular to my laser flare). ![](http://forum.formlabs.com/uploads/formlabs/2740/e814ef617858385a.jpg) ![](http://forum.formlabs.com/uploads/formlabs/2744/e9c8696f502cf10c.jpg) Some serious flaking running parallel with the my laser flare. This large piece was well before the print failed. ![](http://forum.formlabs.com/uploads/formlabs/2741/73317f1bbcbad686.jpg) Poor rearward facing surfaces ![](http://forum.formlabs.com/uploads/formlabs/2742/c94cb6f23fe49e52.jpg) I’m now seeing flaking on the supports again orientated parallel with my laser flare. ![](http://forum.formlabs.com/uploads/formlabs/2743/a3b6cfb7ce99cbdc.jpg) --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.formlabs.com/t/laser-flare-the-effects-on-your-prints-part-ii/3716)._
