Purpose, Benefits, and Best Practices As resin 3D printing workflows become faster and more specialized, accessories such as mini vats  play a critical role in maintaining print consistency and reliability. One commonly recommended practice—especially for 3D-printed mini vats —is applying an epoxy or cured resin coating  to specific surfaces. But why is this coating needed, and what real benefits does it provide? This article explains the engineering reasons  behind epoxy/res

When discussing resin 3D printing speed, most users focus on exposure time or layer height. However, for many real-world prints—especially small models—the biggest time difference does not come from exposure, but from Z-axis movement per layer. This is where the comparison between a Mini Plate and a Full Build Plate becomes important. In this article, we’ll focus specifically on printing speed, using practical, numerical comparisons to explain why mini plates often finish pri

Resin 3D printing produces incredible detail, but print speed is often a bottleneck. Waiting hours for a model can be frustrating, especially for small but precise items like dental models, miniatures, or jewelry masters. Fortunately, mini plates and mini vats  provide a way to speed up printing without sacrificing quality . In this guide, we’ll dive into the best printing settings , focusing on lift speed adjustments  for ordinary, fast, and ultra-fast printing with mini pla

Resin 3D printing has transformed industries ranging from prototyping to jewelry and dental labs. But anyone who’s spent hours waiting for prints to finish knows the frustration: long print times, wasted resin, and sometimes unpredictable results. Enter Dr. Rick Ferguson’s Mini Plate method , a game-changing approach that has dramatically sped up resin printing, especially for precision-focused applications like dental and jewelry work. Who is Dr. Rick Ferguson? Dr. Rick Ferg

If you're in the world of resin 3D printing—especially in fast-paced industries like dental labs or jewelry production—you already know how valuable time is. Every minute saved can mean faster deliveries, happier clients, and a more efficient workflow. That’s exactly where Mini4Speed  steps in. Mini4Speed specializes in custom-designed mini build plates for various resin 3D printers. These plates are smaller than the original ones, and that simple change brings surprising ben
