Sirayatech Blu and Tenacious are well spoken for in this community and I personally mix about 20% tenacious into my miniatures that have thin brittle segments

Sirayatech looks like it would suit my purposes fairly well, and The Tenacious flexible is well priced also. Thanks for the suggestions!

I use Monocure 3D Rapid flex 100, it’s fantastic

Yeah! A liter goes a long way because you rarely want to print in its pure form (though you certainly can)

Ventilate it well, the urethanes are quite noxious

Monocure is a bit more than what I'm willing to spend at the moment. It's actually what prompted this post.

Shawn , that makes sense - it’s a very useful product, I’m local to the manufacturer so delivery costs are really nothing for me so it’s a bit easier

I mixed elegoo abs-like with anycubic cause it was all I had. 50/50 mix and it seems to have some flex to it. Enough that I won't worry about dropping a mode and it breaking.

Shawn Michael Rains I have found it to be a little more temperature sensitive than anycubic. If it is chilly I hit with the heat gun a little.

I have my unit in an enclosed cabinet and it usually sits at about 80F (~25C) while the machine is running, so I didn't think about that actually!

So cartoony

When post-curing, do you cure both sides or only the top?
Cured resin shrinks. When the top of the wing cures faster than the bottom it could curl up due to different states of the resin.

Shrinkage.

Thanks Sander van Deijl , I'll give the next batch a curing from beneath and see if it changes things.

Peter Martin where did you get those stl files? :P

Print them vertically. I had it with gun barrels. The already cured layers shrink away from the new layers. If you print vertically this has little effect

Aerodynamic stress on the wings when flying.

Try curing both sides of the wing the same amount?

had similar issues with zeros. so thin...

I knew 5G pulling in a Ju-52 was asking for trouble!

That's a great solution, thanks!

The Ju-52 is Thingiverse, the Potez 631 is my own model. PM me if you want a copy :)

Exactly my thoughts :D

Peter Martin good way is to cure in water as helps to hit all sides at once refraction in the water and such

Curing too fast? Use some form of turn table nose down. Cure slower move light source away more

try curing them with the support attached? might keep everything lined up

If I had to guess, I'd say the top and bottom of the wings are doing final cure at different rates, which is causing the resin to expand/contract on one side at a different rate than on the other, which is warping it.

It’s just dihedral ?

It wasn't there when I sculpted it! ?

I was just joking with you. I have no clue. Just started 3D printing 3 days ago lol. ?

I would try to cure it on water bath.

Our a mirror /tin foil underneath.

Jonathan Perdomo you beat me to it!!

To be fair, it looks great, make the planes wings look like they are under a taxing load. Wing flex is a real thing for these craft.

Richard Humble 60deg worked for me when 45 kept producing curls

I ordered some on the 14th and still not said was sent or has arrived so I guess it’s a waiting game going to give them a few days more then ask

Richard Hale good to know.... I. SUPPOSE to have resin delivered from amazon Thursday ? ? but I'm not counting on it :(

So my last anycubic direct resin order took 14 days. This included a 5 day production time, anda 4 day quarantine in the local deport

I brought a 1l bottle of anycubic grey off amazon on the 11th and it arrived here in New Zealand on the 20th

Rantinan Winters where are you located? Dose everything form anycubic ship from China? I just want my resin lol

Australia. Also theroute my resin took was torturous, fedex screwed up and it spent acouple of days bouncing back and forth between japan and china, and another to singapore. the previous order (my mega zero) took literaly 3 days from factory to door

Rantinan Winters ok good to know! :)

Try monocure 3d resin. There is US distributor

I just bought printer and it said 2 to 6 business days then i find out it wasn't even in stock but oh well got great deal on it with coupon code i got.

Benny Lu thanks@

:)

Shine Sing has a awesome deal right now.

I use Elegoo resin now. Is this similar?

Dan Gump I think so. Can’t tell much of a difference with the green so far besides don’t smell as bad.

Clint Sturm but whatever about exposure times? That my biggest issue when switching resins.

Dan Gump I’m still working on that myself.

I got a post on the Shine Sing page to get other people settings also for shine sing resin. For a base and cross referencing per color and printer.

Dan Gump It is similar. Bottom exposures 60-70S, normal exposures 8-10S.

What resin are you using?

its at the bottom of the post but its the Anycubic Grey resin

James Swan oh... its in the photo...

James Swan should change your bottom cure time to 70s... https://docs.google.com/....../1crvzMnt....../htmlview......

James Capps those settings are for the Photon, I have the Photon S and these settings have never worked for me

James Swan ??

James Capps thanks though

James Swan https://docs.google.com/....../1vQsW9y5gJKTmv....../htmlview have you tried these?

James Capps yea thats what i started from, i havent had any issues printing miniatures, just lately this suction issue

James Swan thats really weird.. do you have a pic of what your printing with the holes you put for drainage/air?

James Capps The handle bit has a hole in the top and bottom, but it hasnt made it that far to even matter.
Im about to try it again without the handle and print that on its own.

James Capps so here is what comes out, I first thought it was leveling but I flipped the design and it happened in the same side as the first

And the other side always prints out fine

Did you create the supports in chitubox?

James Capps custom supports in chitubox yes

James Swan Every-time I have used chitubox for supports i have had a bad time. Maybe try again using prusa slicers auto supports and exporting the stl with supports and import into chitubox to slice.

James Swan if anything hopefully someone sees all the stuff you have done so far and chime in with some advice ?

From what I can see one of the raft layers is peeling up and seperating from the rest of the raft is that right?

Usually I use only prusa for support.. Where did you find the handle? Is in scale to fit in your plate? ? ?

Jacob Palmer yea that’s it
Sorry didn’t see your msg

What temperature is the room you're running the machine in. Sometimes low temp can cause delamination, but usually it happens in more than one layer...

Try tightening your FEP

Increase exposure by 2 sec

Thanks!
You've prompted me to try printing this:

Fred Breton

I

Fred Breton My wife and I determined #4 (6 secs) was the best. I'll retry with that tomorrow. Thanks!

Fred Breton My Corona!
I didn't think changing the FEP (my first) would have affected my exposure settings. I believe my old FEP must have been much looser than the replacement.
Thanks again!

I think they have one, the eco-resin.

oh, cool. have you used it?

I have not, not yet.

They released an announcement that said they will not make a water washable resin because people will flush the water down and it really isn't safe to run off into the environment. So they decided to just look past that option

They have eco resin which is said to be biodegradable. They still say to use ipa but I have heard slme people say they can use water and soap. I am very new to printing so I have yet to get a fully successful print but I was soooo close yesterday lol. (Using the eco resin)

https://m.facebook.com/groups/1194619320682708?view=permalink&id=1933977470080219

ah, ok. i wasn't planning on washing the waste down the drain. You just get lots more life out of your ipa wash

Thanks, i'll have to give it a go. which one are you using at what settings?

Chris Jeanneret so as I said I am still new. Just did my first print a couple days ago. But i did the max settings it said on the bottle especially for the base layers as I was having adhesion issues.
So i think it was 80s for the base and then 8..for the rest. I believe i was printing at .05mm layer height. I can't remember all the details but again I have yet to get a fully successful print.
Had some supports fail and some missed layers leaving gaps. So still working on learning the designing and slicing.

Arianne Aucoin are you using the photon validator to check and auto-fix unsupported islands? i use the auto supports in prusa slicer then export the plate with supports, Open in chitu and slice. then open the file in photon validator and auto fix... I've found that is a pretty good way to cover most bases... that's if you don't want to spend ages supporting everything individually.

Chris Jeanneret i just did the auto supports for now. I will have to figure out how to even find unsupported islands ? ?‍♀️
I really donxt know what i'm doing yet. Was just gifted the printer recently so trying to swim in the deep end here. But the eco resin was the resin I got since it's biodegradable and has less odour.

Arianne Aucoin download a program called photon file validator. that will check over your sliced file and fix a load of islands for you with a click of a button.great video for it attached. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b3wFEdN7TqQ&t=2s

Chris Jeanneret amazing thank you!!! :)

Is there I way I can specifically request that they don't?

Not been able to get hold of any ipa so just rinsed my print in warm soapy water, probably not the perfect solution but works fine whilst I learn the ropes. Saw a YouTube video where they used cleaning products like Mr Clean and Mean green and seemed to work better than ipa. See if I can find the video and add a link. https://youtu.be/tnGasVwkgMk

I’d rather see all the companies that are making it now stop...willing to bet there’s people already washing it down drains.

Scott Pavlich to that's my concern

Penn Davies I’m pretty sure it’s not water soluble anycubic said they won’t make that

Fair.

You still use ipa to clean water washable resin? But why its water washable... i do t use ipa anymore...

Same can probably be said for the regular resins. Stupid is Stupid.

What did you clean the vat with now we can’t get IPA?

Most of the resin was poured out so just used a tissue to wipe and warm soapy (fairy liquid) water again with a tissue to wipe clean now left to dry.

Thank God I had already bought about 10 large bottles beck when I first got my printer. Still have 5 left
