The Moai SLA 3D printer by Peopoly is a resin stereolithography (SLA) printer which is great for small, detailed prints. It uses a UV laser to cure uv-curable resins (photopolymer). It can print with layer heights between 25um to 100um, perfect for miniatures, jewelry, and other highly details prints.

Resin Information

Only one type and color of resin is used: [Peopoly Gray Professional UV Resin](https://peopoly.net/products/peoresin?variant=42802695238).

This is due to the pain of needing different resin vats for each different type of resin, as well as "horizon calibrating" the build area when you change out the vat. To make things easier, and cheaper to operate, only use the Peopoly Gray UV resin.
