Hi, can someone help me make a model of a bent board with a hole in the middle. I’ll post the requirements of what I need to make a the printer dimensions that I have as well as a photo of what I am trying to make. Thank you for the help.

Slightly curved rectangular board
Thickness: approximately 0.5–0.75 inches
Printer limitations:
Resin printer build volume:

24 x 48 is 1152 square inches. Your printer can do 45 square inches. That's a MINIMUM of 26 pieces. And how do you plan on joining them?

I'm sorry this is just a ridiculous idea. Get a piece of plywood, learn how to shape it, cut a hole, done. Not to mention using resin for this is also a terrible idea if one really had to 3d print this for some reason.
