Find the Perfect Exposure for Resin 3D Printing With UVTools!

In this video, I'll show you how to find the perfect resin exposure using an amazing program called UVTools!
In the past trying to find the best exposure settings for any resin on your 3D printer was a long and frustrating process. You needed to print multiple resin Validation Matrix tests one after another and then compare the results.
Now with the Exposure Time Finder function in UVTools, you can find the perfect resin exposure setting for almost any resin in about 90 minutes!
Use the link below to download UVTools and follow along with the video to create an Exposure Time Finder for your printer!

I want to thank Tiago Conceição for creating and constantly updating UVTools with so many great features.
I'd also like to thank Khalil Nurullah and Vinicius Silva for helping me learn how to use UVTools so that I could make the best tutorial video for this feature.

*Attention*
If you don't see the "Multiple Exposures." window when using the Exposure Time Finder function.
Please slice a new file for your model of printer using Chitubox. Then use that file to begin this process.
There have been some issues with older pre-sliced tests and some files sliced with Lychee .


General guideline for creating your test

Layer Height:
I print at 0.05 because I get great detail with a shorter print time than with thinner layer heights.
Remember that smaller layers = more layers which = longer print time.
Same for both Mono and RGB screen printers.

Bottom Layer count:
I recommend 4 bottom layers on most prints, but I do use 5 on larger prints.
Same for both Mono and RGB screen printers.

Bottom Layer Exposure time:
For Mono screen printers I use 20s - 30s.
For RGB screen printers I use 45s - 55s.

Positive Pins and Negative Holes:
This setting can be used on both mono and RGB screen printers.

Custom Text:
This setting can be used on both mono and RGB screen printers.

Normal Step Increments:
For Mono screen printers use increments of 0.25s, 0.5s, or 0.75s.
For RGB screen printers use increments of 0.5s, 1s, or 1.5s.

Number of Generations:
I've found that 4 to 6 gives a good range of tests.
Same for both Mono and RGB screen printers.
