Stirring resin with tilt mechanism
The Prusa SL1 page mentions that the tilt mechanism also stirs the resin.
How well does this actually work? Is the tilt powerful enough to work with particle filled resin (Mix the resin during the print to prevent settling of the particles)?

I've been resin printing for almost 2 years and have never seen particle filled resin. I wouldn't want to use any resin with particles in it for fear of damaging the FET or causing possible holes in the print. After every print I strain the vat just in case there are any hardened pieces of resin that may have been broken loose (supports).
I believe the tilti mechanism may be enough to keep the color from separating.
Re: Stirring resin with tilt mechanism
I'm referring to resin filled with metal or ceramic particles which are rare but do exist. Formlabs for example has their own 'ceramic resin' which benefits from the wiper in their Form 2 system.
Damaging the FEP might be an issue though.

works with prusa red transparent resin and Prusa Orange opaque resin. we haven't been let loose with ceramic resin, however if you have a sample, I would give it a go!
