This angle calculator can be useful for printing flat smooth surfaces on resin 3D printers
using the best angle when some planes should be printed best,
but cannot be printed horizontally/flat due to the fact that the model must be somehow angled.

Only works on flat faces.
Yea. It’s the whole point of this calculator, isn’t it? 😉
Why is the optimal angle different for different printers?
It’s simply due to the different build plate sizes, resolutions, and thus pixel sizes, which are the parameters for calculating this angle.
This is great! The pulldown menu is so much quicker when calculating between machines. I’m going to share this calculator to more people.
This is amazing. I was trying to figure out my Saturn 3 Ultras pixel width and was getting confused. This is of great assistance. Thank you!
This is great. Thankyou!!
So, since my Saturn 3 Ultra has rectangular pixels 19 to 25 μm, do i use two different angles? One for every direction i align my print to? Or do i use a average like 21?
probably two different angles would give better results on those two different axes
(Generally speaking) Does thing angle give the best chance at printing without supports? Or is it purely an asthetic thing
It’s an aesthetic thing
No Epax?
Hmm, I’ll try add soon
Are you going to add the Phrozen Sonic Mega 8K S?
能否添加一下土星4U的
Saturn 4/4U
Please make one for Nexa XIP and XIP Pro
ok
Thank you!
Super dumb question. On the build plate, is X front-to-back and Y side-to-side?
X is from side to side (let’s say along the longer edge of the build plate) and Y is front to back
This tool is great, the only thing I miss is the indication of the longer and shorter side of the build plate when the pixel is not square. This is to make it clear which axis of the build plate is suitable for which angle.
That would be great!
So far all printers that I analysed have the same coordinate system. And every manufacturer (for printers I’ve adopted in my calculator) is using just X,Y without any clarification where is X,Y on their printers, but like I said, so far it is all the same coordinate system. So, I don’t want to make any custom clarifications on that topic, which might be wrong for some future printer.
Hi ! I don´t saw the Elegoo Mars 3 model. Can I use the same for Mars 3 pro ? Thank´s in advance.
Probably yes, but I’ll try add that printer later
Great calculator!!
I would appreciate it if both angles could be copy&pasted
At the moment only one angle can be copied or am I somehow missing something?
Thanks for making this! This is very helpful.
awesome
I have an old Mars (original Mars…Mars1?) that I still use, could you add that in there please?
Sure, I’ll try to add that model
Amazing tool. Very useful, thank you so much for sharing this with the public and for your effort and time put into this.
It’s so to see how many people today just take things for granted, and complaining about something that they even got for free.
