    This study focuses on developing a wearable microfluidic device (WMD) using stereolithography (SLA) 3D printing for sweat collection. The use of the SLA technique, particularly in achieving rapid fabrication, printing smooth surfaces, and creation of channels with dimensions below 1 mm. However, it is quite challenging to integrate the SLA 3D printed WMD with a sensor for real-time sweat analysis using a traditional bonding method. In addition, an SLA conventional resin is non-water-washable and is made from a polymer material that tends to cause a hydrophobic effect on the microchannel surface. In this work, a reversible bonding method through mechanical clamping was applied to enable easy assembly and disassembly of the WMD integrated with a sensor. A water-washable clear resin was used to provide a hydrophilic surface, allowing for effective fluid handling. The fluid delivery into the sensor's channel was efficient, taking only 0.06 s after the fluid flowed out at the outlet channel, and it sufficiently covered the entire surface of the sensor. This work also found that closed channels can be created up to 0.6 mm after fine-tuning the minimum achievable using the SLA printer. The dimensions of the printed WMD resulted in a size tolerance difference of 0.05–0.35 mm compared to the 3D model design, indicating a discrepancy of less than 1%. These capabilities promise to advance WMD and enable cutting-edge research in sweat analysis and related fields.
