Model Preparation:

Orientation: tilt the bust and stand to minimize the amount of direct supports on visible surfaces and to reduce possible support marks.

Supports: Generate automatic supports with attention to overhang areas and areas that are not self-supporting. Ensure that the density and point of contact are sufficient to support the structure without being excessive to facilitate later removal.

Printing Parameters:

Layer Resolution: To capture fine details, a layer resolution of 0.025 mm to 0.05 mm is ideal.

Base Layer Exposure: The first layers that adhere to the build platform should have a longer exposure to ensure good adhesion. This is typically 10 to 60 seconds per base coat, depending on the machine and resin.

Normal Exposure: After the base coats, adjust the normal exposure to your resin manufacturer's recommended times, which generally range from 4 to 10 seconds per coat.

Raise and Lower Speed: Adjust to a speed that is fast enough not to lengthen print time unnecessarily, but slow enough not to cause warping or peeling of the layers. A speed of 3 to 5 mm/s is commonly used.

Delay Time: Set a delay time after each lift to allow the resin to flow and level out before exposing the next layer.

Post-Processing:

Cleanup: Wash the model in isopropyl alcohol to remove any uncured resin.

UV Curing: Post-cure the model under a powerful UV light or in a UV curing chamber to fully solidify the resin. Depending on the resin, this can take anywhere from a few minutes to an hour.

Additional Tips:

Test Prints: It is always a good idea to make a test print of a few sections of the model to adjust the parameters before the final print.

Safety: Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment, such as gloves and safety glasses, when handling resins and during post-curing.

Printer Maintenance: Make sure the printer is clean, especially the resin tank and printer window, to avoid printing defects.
