Which Exposure Finder Should I Use?

The resin exposure finder, also known as the resin calibration tester, is a test print file that allows you to quickly find the best exposure settings for your resin. In this article, we will share three resin calibration finders with you.

1. Phrozen XP Finder

• 3 mm thick-slightly thicker than the Resin XP2 Validation Matrix by Photonsters
• Easy-to-use and only take 20 minutes (using a Mono-LCD screen) to produce results 
• Learn to tell the difference between underexposed and overexposed prints by observing the text, pillars, boards, and lines present on the Phrozen XP Finder (Link)

2. Resin XP2 Validation Matrix by Photonsters

• 1.4 mm thick
• Print super fast and take roughly 10 minutes (using a Mono-LCD screen) to produce results
