I have seen some attempts at this but have never even tried. It is a interesting idea though.

Archive: (down - will check later).

From the post:

>This technique shared by [Andy Kong] is for 3D printed lenses, but would probably be worth a shot for any resin prints that need to be made nice and clear. The link to his post on X is here, but we’ll summarize below. It’s entirely possible to print lenses on a resin printer, but some amount of polishing is inevitable because an SLA print still has layer lines, however small. We have seen ways to minimize the work involved to get a usable lens, but when it comes right down to it the printing process creates tiny (but inevitable) surface imperfections that have to be dealt with, one way or another.

This is super cool. I know that lenses for vehicle tail lights and turn signals have been successful, but this is next level now.
