My second print, a Humback Whale

I decided to do another organic shape for my second model (the first was my dolphin https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=09hL8oFcSwE ) and this time screen record the entire process, including the PreForm portion. I’m pleased with the result, although I did get bubbles on the interior…first time that’s happened. It could be 1 of 2 things. First, my resin level was in the middle, maybe I should have topped it off. Second, I had another printer (FDM) printing right next to it the whole time. The work bench is stable, but I could still feel some vibrations.

Here’s my model

And my final print

A video of how it was built is here:

The model was built in Lightwave 3D, printed in clear resin (V2) at .05 mm height and took about 8 hours. All the other settings are the original defaults.
