Hey It’s sunshine prototyping here again with somemore flexible material doing a hollow part is not as easy as you think took some prints but I got the hang of it.

Here’s the settings that I used to makre this part:

Supports

  • Density 1.0
  • Point size 1.80
  • No internal supports

Advanced settings

  • Slope 1.00
  • Base thickness 1.25
  • Height above base 5.00

And the first try I forgot to put a holl in the part to let the resin drain out of the part but you learn from your mistakess and I got the part from thingverse don’t have the link.

Ps let the part set in the sun for 20 minutes to get rid of the tacky resin off the part. And I used meshmixer software to make it hollow
