385nm Resin?

Hi everyone,
just wonder if any one have tried 385nm resin? 

Thanks

I haven't seen anyone try, and I would really advize against it. The Mars light source is 405nm. While it will have a bell curve, meaning it puts out some 385, it will likely be quite a bit less. Further, 385 is on the shorter side, which means higher energy: So the resin is expecting more energy than normal, which would likely compound the issue.

Very interesting. How was the print times, and quality compared to proper 405?

a bit slower than normal 405 ...
Thanks

Cool, thanks for reporting back. Kind of as expected, probably a better than expected actually considering that's with clear.
