I tested formlabs castable 02 and it always had a little over exposure on ring models.
It works very well if you do flat models when you print flat on the plate.

Have not tried Blue Cast with the Solus but I think you may get better results with it.
I have heard that with Blue Cast you don't have to cure after printing and it also has a fast burnout cycle, people have had good results.

Resins that are made for Laser-based SLA printers usually don't work well with DLP printers. Even if they do work, they are usually not designed for the extremely high resolutions that the Solus provides.

I'm loving my castings with the cherry.
