I have been printing for a while now and to my surprise my printer still shocks me in what its capable of doing. I totally was off on dimensions for an organic model, which I got lost in making it look right over function I guess. Though when I printed it again not knowing it would not work, I had some pieces that were super thin. I would say they were about the thickness of a contact. Too bad they didn't survive the cleaning, as it was worse than wet tissue paper. I only need some resin that can hold up now knowing that it can be printed that thin if I ever require something that thin.
It's amazing the thinness you can achieve if you're either super careful or very careless (I've been the latter a lot more often than the former). On my Deep Six model I designed, the first time I printed out the dome for his helmet, it was super thin. I didn't even try cleaning it, I just hit it with UV to get it to set more. It was too thin to polish or anything to get it clear and usable. It was still amazing that it printed at all.
