ProX 800

The ProX 800 is an SLA 3D printer from 3D Systems with a 650 x 750 x 550 mm build volume.

Calibration

The 3D Systems ProX 800, as a high-precision industrial Stereolithography (SLA) printer, requires meticulous calibration and maintenance to ensure consistent, high-quality output. Unlike consumer-grade FDM printers, SLA calibration often involves precise adjustments to the optical system, resin properties, and build platform alignment. The following cookbook outlines detailed steps and quirks for maintaining optimal performance.
