This was a test to see how accurate the 3d printer is with shapes in multiple planes. I was concerned about air bubbles in the resin even though I use a vacuum and a pressure tank, so I also included air bleed holes.
Overall, I think it worked well but I may need to increase the thickness from 0.5mm to 1mm. The knot appears to be very central which was another worry.
The resin was coloured with solid black dye and purple Micah powder but it's very hard to get any hint of the purple at all.
