In this week's episode we discussed the file format our printers read.

For SLA it seems there's a lot of machine specific files that resemble a slide deck with light exposure times. FDM printers on the other hand use a command sequence inherited from automated reductive machining.

It's not easy to modify the SLA files after they have been created. gCode files on the other hand are almost too easy to update.

We also discussed some ideas for post processing, strategies for keeping files sliced for a variety of build media separate, and Calculus applications to printing circles.
