RE: How hard would it be to set the SL1 to use ELEGOO Water Washable 3D Printer Rapid Resin

Not hard at all. The SL1 has a really cool resin calibration test ( https://help.prusa3d.com/en/article/sl1-resin-calibration-object_112182) to help you figure out your best layer times for 0.5mm layers.

I'm having trouble with the object printing at a slant (though I printed a miniature and it was fine in that regard...). The above pic is the Elegoo water washable grey. Looks like 9.0s or 9.5s per layer are good, but really anything between 7 and 9.5 looked good.

I copied the Prusa Tough Grey profile for both 0.05 and 0.025 layers and bumped the layer times by .5s. I'm currently running with a really high base layer time (60s per the bottle), but I think I can drop that still. The 0.025 print (right, the left was from my MK3S) came out great other than issues related to how I positioned it.

Hi Gnat, thanks for that reply about the water washable resin.  Do you think that the water washable resin is water soluble enough that a stirring machine like the Prusa CW1 would clean the build plate and the print?  Thanks

I haven't used another cleaning medium so I cannot compare results, but the above pics are parts that were run through the CW1 with just plain water and no scrubbing. In both cases the print had finished roughly 5 hours before I got them in the wash (finished over night), so most of the residual resin had dripped off naturally.

So far I've been happier with the resin than I have been for the printer itself...
