    Abstract: A 3-D printer apparatus has a tank that includes a bottom wall and a printing area that is located above and spaced apart from the bottom wall. At least a portion of the tank is filled with a polymerizable resin used to print an object within the printing area. The bottom wall is transparent and defines an upper surface. A layer of Janus particles overlays the upper surface of the bottom wall. Each of the Janus particles has a hydrophobic side and a hydrophilic side, with the hydrophilic side directly overlaying the upper surface of the bottom wall. The layer of Janus particles defines a barrier that prevents small bits of cured polymerizable resin within the tank from becoming attached to the upper surface of the bottom wall during the printing process.
