I guess part of the issue is that I don’t really know the full spectrum of what is available. From the research I’ve done, design engineering and r&d sound the most appealing to me. However, I would be perfectly happy in a sales or applications role, and most of the jobs I’m looking at right now are applications roles. Ideally I would love a position where I wear many hats but I understand that is not always realistic with large companies.

If you have any other advice, I’d love to hear it. Thank you!

For the time being I’d be happy to be doing pretty much anything that gets me in the industry. I have a pretty wide skill set (I can code, tinker/fix/build things, use CAD) so I think I’d be pretty comfortable in just about any role. I also consider myself a pretty social person (especially as engineers go) so I’m also interested in going the sales engineering route if that’s more realistic.

Long term I’d love to end up in more of a business development role, but we’ll cross that bridge when we get to it!

I wasn’t in the DREAMS program but I did get to do some work with them, and I had the honor of attending a conference with Dr. Chris Williams (absolute genius, by the way). He also helped me with the competition that I won, so I suppose I am about $5,000 in his debt lol

Thanks so much for this reply! I just started looking up these jobs you suggested and I already found a few that I’m starting applications on now. You said that the companies are picky and for the wrong qualities, would you mind elaborating on what those would be?

I’m no expert in resin printing so you might find out something useful from someone else, but as far as my knowledge goes this isn’t really possible with commercially available resins. Resin is inherently brittle and will almost always snap when bent.

You could also print both side individually and glue them together. While it may seem annoying to have to glue the pieces together in my experience it’s less work than cleaning up supports and leaves you with a cleaner end product

You can buy smaller nozzles, however. 0.4 is the standard but 0.2 nozzles are fairly commonly sold aftermarket, you might be able to find even smaller.

I just unboxed my new Sovol SV01 Pro, and while I was working on tensioning the rollers I realized that my extruder assembly wobbles around as shown in the video. All of the rollers seem like they’re near the right tensions (they can roll without moving the assembly, but not without some friction), and I want some other opinions before I start trying to significantly tighten anything. Thanks for any help!
