Watching the latest video from @Ben Krasnow as a horizontal slab is being printed got me thinking: if the material is too thin to peel from the window without support, maybe the drum geometry can handle this owed to the continuous, slow peeling process. If the peeling is very sketchy one might even consider printing perforated layers and filling them in 1-2mm behind the peel line. will require more degrees of freedom for the lenslet array though. Let's investigate that once the structural demonstrator has gotten somewhere :)

Here's the video:
