1. A method performed by a three-dimensional (3D) printer, the 3D printer including a tank adapted to be at least partially filled with a photosensitive liquid and including a bottom surface to hold the photosensitive liquid within the tank, the method comprising:
depositing a layer of photosensitive material on to the bottom surface of the tank;
illuminating the layer of photosensitive material to create a solidified layer cured onto a printing platform;
tilting the tank so that at least a portion of the solidified layer on the printing platform is separated from the bottom surface of the tank;
determining a curing time of the layer of photosensitive material;
based at least in part on the curing time, determining an amount of time to wait prior to moving the printing platform;
waiting the determined amount of time; and
moving the printing platform away from the bottom surface of the tank.
