Attachment Layers

These attachment layers (ALs) play a crucial role in securing prints on your build plate when utilizing an SLA printer. The Ameralabs article below highlights the benefits of incorporating attachment layers into your printing process. https://ameralabs.com/blog/tutorials/attachment-layer-need-know/?fbclid=IwAR3it7w3CuRPVkAJWVnve4oaMUj83q94EC7AXdz5YPIVwuVLncZ68EqTOUA To take advantage of this feature, place your STL files on the print bed in your slicer and load an attachment layer corresponding to the size of each file underneath. This layer will be absorbed into the print and break off after curing. It's also essential to place these layers under supports instead of using skates. The provided ALs are 0.2 mm thick, but you can adjust their thickness by altering the Z-height in your slicer if needed. To achieve complex shapes, use multiple ALs, copy them, and overlay them as desired. Keep in mind that if printing without supports, these layers will result in a flat surface. If your print has form or engraving on the bottom, punch holes in the ALs to prevent damage during removal.
