Design Rules For 3D Printing

When designing for 3D printing a variety of design features need to be taken into consideration. This guide explains the different design features and the design rules for each of the daylight resins with use on the Liquid Crystal Magna.

View resin rules >

Supported walls 10x10mm

A supported wall is one that is connected to other walls on one or more ends. Supported walls thinner than detailed below (resin dependent) may delaminate or warp.

Unsupported walls 10x10mm

An unsupported wall is one that is not connected to any others. Unsupported walls thinner than detailed below (resin dependent) may delaminate or warp.

Supports and overhangs

An overhang refers to a part of the model that extends horizontally parallel to the build platform. Printing such features without supports is discouraged as the layers cannot maintain their structure. Horizontal overhangs will be slightly deformed beyond 1.5 mm and become increasingly deformed as the length of the overhang increases.

Minimum engraved details

Engraved details are imprinted or recessed features on your model. Details recessed less than 1.0 mm in width and in height may not be visible because they will be fused with the rest of the model during the print process.

Minimum embossed details

Embossed details are shallow raised features on your model, such as text. Details smaller than detailed below in width and in height may not be visible on your print

Horizontal bridges

A horizontal bridge is the distance between two vertical structures. If the bridge is longer than detailed below (resin dependent) the bridge may break during printing.

Horizontal holes

Horizontal holes are those with their axis parallel to the XY plane. Minimum hole diameters are detailed below per resin. Holes greater than 5mm diameter will need supports.

Vertical holes

Vertical holes are holes with their axis parallel to the Z axis. Minimum hole diameter and depths are detailed below and are resin dependent. Due to shrinkage holes should be oversized by at least 0.15mm.

Connecting & moving parts

Clearance is the amount of distance needed between two moving parts of a model (e.g., the distance between gears or joints). Clearance recommendations are resin dependent. The parts must be printed seperately and placed together after curing.

Escape holes (Drain holes)

Thickness of the wall of the model should be limited to maximum of 10 mm. Wall thickness greater than 10mm will lead to sludging.

Maximum wall thickness (mm)

Minimum thickness of the wall of the model which is hollow on the inside is resin dependent.

Minimum wall thickness (mm) for hollow part

Minimum thickness of the wall of the model which is hollow on the inside is resin dependent.

Pin Diameter 10mm long

A pin is a structure whose length is greater than two times its width. The ratio is key to printing pins; at 0.8 mm thickness you can print up to 10 mm tall before you start to see waving.

Tolerance (Accuracy)

Dimensional accuracy for a printed model.
