SL1 Resing Settings compared to SL1S Speed

I have a clear Monocure Resin "3D TUFF". Monocure provides curing times for the SL1 (Base Layer 40s / Normal Layer 6-7s) - but I have a new SL1S Speed... 😊 

So I compared the curing times of PRUSAMENT for SL1 and SL1S Speed as they can be found in Prusa Slicer:

Curing Times on the SL1S Speed are 25s instead of 35s for SL1 (so 71%) for base layers and 2s instead of 7,5s (so 27%).

Is it ok to assume that this curing time reduction ratio can be transferred in general to any other resin configuration which come originally for the SL1?

You can use those as start values, but you should do some proper exposure test prints to fine-tune the settings:

Later there will be an option to test multiple exposure times at once, but the firmware team is currently still working on that.

One way I'll probably try thanks for this - but the original question concerned the difference between SL1 and SL1S curing times and whether there's a thumb rule using some percentage for roughly determinig curing times in relation to original PRUSAMENT curing times for SL1 and SL1S...

RE: SL1 Resing Settings compared to SL1S Speed

I had a similar question.  Check all the resin profiles Prusa supplies for the SL1S.  I believe they all recommend 25 seconds for the first layers and either 2.0 or 2.4 seconds for other layers.  So take your pick.  I do have a dental model resin that I use 30 seconds for the first layers because I had problems with the first layers not sticking to the build plate.
