How thick should I make my walls for stable 3D printing on an Elegoo Saturn?

Question

If I'm printing buildings that are about 2-3 inches high as scenery on my Elegoo Saturn, how thick should I make the walls? We're talking square boxy-type buildings with basic surface details.

I don't want to make them solid because that would put a lot of material on my FEP at the same time.

For what filament material and what size nozzle aperture? – Perry Webb Aug 02 '21 at 13:01 — Perry Webb, Aug 02 '21 at 13:01
It's an elegoo saturn. Resin not filament – Aaargh Zombies Aug 03 '21 at 14:03 — Aaargh Zombies, Aug 03 '21 at 14:03
2-3 inches is... about Z to N Scale? – Trish Dec 30 '21 at 19:13 — Trish, Dec 30 '21 at 19:13

Unless you can print the buildings upside down, limited details on roof, overhang will be more of an issue than wall thickness.

The Elegoo saturn is a mono resin printer, so everything is printed upside down. Its easier to make the roofs on their own and then glue them on. – Aaargh Zombies Aug 03 '21 at 14:06
Sorry, I don't have experience with resin printers. – Perry Webb Aug 03 '21 at 18:10
