Well...not 100% success but the mould itself has worked out pretty well - the filling needs a lot of tweaking though.
It's the rear quarter light rubber for a 1956 Vauxhall...

I believe that print a few posts back is a mould for that rubber item.

Can you not get them from Australia or are they too expensive?

Not currently available, someone was supposedly making them over here but not heard anything definite.

The first resin print has failed in a spectacular fashion 
I haven't bothered washing it or taking any pictures!
It had broken away from the build plate.
I think it is probably the default settings used, having read a few things online.
I will clean it out and try again tomorrow.
Hopefully I will get something printed soon!

The way in which is failed will help you dial in the settings....unfortunately when things go wrong with resin it's usually messy. you need to ensure there's no cured pieces of resin in the vat as they can damage the FEP on the next print.The first resin print has failed in a spectacular fashion

I will run the cleaning cycle tomorrow.
I do wonder if it was too cold in the room, would that also contribute to a failure?
I will take a picture of the mess tomorrow if that would help.

Went to the BiL's for Boxing Day and he had a wooden one of these as a present. Said to my lad to try and copy it and half hour later with the Vernier he'd done the CAD. Original thread is square (ACME?) and nom. 5mm pitch so really quick to use. This is I think M22 x2.5:

It's a nut cracker. Used on walnuts so far.
