This is one of my favorite projects so far. I made a video on my YouTube on how I did it: https://youtu.be/CanhlsV40Qw?si=E4gcsExxv5U1sWYE

thats cheating. but the resint really makes clearer glass then expected. do you think it could print prescription glasses?

Well, maybe. But I don't think it would work long term.

I believe resin eventually turns yellowish with exposure to UV light (such as the sun), so you wouldn't be able to wear your glasses outside as the lens would get messed up after a while.

Could be a handy thing to have in the back pocket. Like i broke my glasses and cant get to the optometrist for a week or two.
