Hi and welcome to SE.3DP! Please ignore the vague comment above which was automatically generated by our poorly thought out new review mechanism... however, if you could expand your answer to give maybe a range of example exposure times for example thicknesses, that would be great.

Hi @Kezat - You could make an answer out of that interesting link (in case the reddit thread gets deleted, as they often do), by quoting the salient points from it.

I don't have any experience with resin printers but here is some info that may be helpful. https://www.reddit.com/r/ElegooSaturn/comments/kwy1fg/testing_layer_height_with_elegoo_saturn_advice/

# Maximum recommended layer height for an Elegoo Saturn?

(Asked by: username_0 on 2021-08-14)

I have an Elegoo Saturn resin printer and I want to print out some low detail models that are about three inches on each side. I'm going to add the detail in using traditional modelling, kit-bashing and painting after the models have been printed.

In order to get a faster print I'd like to increase the layer height, what is the maximum recommended height for a print of this size?

For example, if I'm printing tanks that have little or no surface detail.
