You double it. It's displaying 2x each number there when printing the test card, so if 7 looks best it's because it was exposed for 14 seconds.

Stefan Giudici oh wow. So I need to use 14 seconds for my clear resin?

I didn't look at your test card, you need to use 2x whatever the best looking number is tho. Good clear resins aren't very fast. Fast clear resins yellow a lot more

Ok. I'll try 14 seconds and do some quick prints (by quick I mean a few hours. Lol)

I’ve never really found this test matches up with what I end up running for clear. Monocure clear runs beautifully at 9s for a .04 layer yet the exposure test told me 14s...I’d strongly recommend running a calibration model and see where your settings look best with that: here the 12s is already showing overexposed whereas the 9 is crisp and clear...and Anycubic yellows fast compared to the Monocure

Scott Pavlich can I have a link to this calibration model? I'm using Elgoo translucent

Thank you

Mika Gruszka It takes under 45min to run at .04, chose an exposure (I only do like 3 bottom layers, just enough so it sticks) then keep dropping your exposure watching closely the features...you’ll know you gone too low it that bridge area above the word Monocure shows delamination like this one

So I should reprint this with lower exposure each time?

Mika Gruszka Yep. But the nice thing is once you’ve done it unless you change resins you don’t have to do it again. I’ve kinda learned where to start and only have to print 1 or 2. And the only thing you want to change is the regular exposure...unless what you are testing is bed adhesion

Looks cool ?

Niffty

Beautiful colour, very creative! Thanks for sharing the tip!

Leonardo Escovar Quintero yw. Thank you!

Looks awesome

Nextdent is a brand, but it gets expensive once you move into the materials that are FDA approved.

Zortrax, Poland. Their Raydent Crown & Bridge Resin comes out at $399.00 PER LITRE!!!

3Dresyns, Spain.They charge 200 Euros for a Litre: https://www.3dresyns.com/....../dental-3dresyn-od......

There's a company in Germany called DETAX but I can't get a price off them without signing up.

There's a company in the USA, Stratasys, but I think they only make materials for PolyJet machines . . .

Or use surgical spirit or ethanol all better options than water washable resin lol

Stuart Radmore water washable resin rules.

Until you read the msds

Well the thought I have about water washable resin... when you wash you piece on a water container... you got a lot of resin I cured in it... ipa evaporate if you want to cleanup the container... but water not ... or at least not so fast... then chemic als in water washable resin cannot be disposed in regular waste ... so what is the advantage? You cannot rincé your piece under water flow directly going into the sink thus you still need a container and you still need to remove most of the resin before letting evaporate the water...

I formulated my first water washable resin almost 7 years ago. That time my last of 3 sons was a toddler. I was thinking "God, this is a brilliant idea, no need to use alchool, users can wash parts directly into sink!". Then I took a look to him, at the formulation and I decided not to produce that resin.

I use Mr. Clean in an ultrasonic. Works great!

Ettore Maria Bar why not?

Read SDS of water washable resins to find out yourself.

Or just use DNA. Works great.

i would rather not print then use water washable resins. it never cleans you still need to use ipa on them to get them 100% clean. people tend to think water washable = safe. others will wash in there sinks under taps. other people will just throw the dirty water down the sink. not saying you and others in the group will. just saying that peeps will. hate the stuff. hence why the anycubic bio resin is no longer water washable due to the environmental impact that could happen with misuse.

Ettore Maria Bar I formulated mine over 10 years ago. HA

Mack , nice, but what is your actual occupation? I run a company manufacturing resins with 40+ distributors worldwide.

Ettore Maria Bar I work at McDonald's

Mack , makes sense.

You just cure it and strain it. The advantages are obvious. Less odor, less cost, less exposure to flammable compounds.

the filter doesn’t make it safe to put water down the drain

i just clean in a water bath, put it under UV lamps, take my dirty water tanks to the city disposal as contaminated water.

Who is putting anything down a drain? Water evaporates, too.

use methylated spirits. works as good if not better and in my experience is way cheaper than ipa.

that also happens to be the shape you see if you do a test exposure, so i would assume something to do with that, but i couldent say what would cause this, take the build plate off, tank out and do a print and see whats showing on teh screen as it "prints"

Angelus Mew Ellis yeah this i what i always do before a real print. Dry printing without the vat and plate. The lcd then show s the right one, after i cancel the print, put in the vat and plate, press on print again and this is comming out... Yeah looks like the test exposure, but i never touch it so why would it print it? So strange...

Some say turn the printer off between prints.

Peter Csaki theres an off button? XD

Do a dry run and see if the rectangle gets printed or not

Kevin Duong thats really weird

Peter Csaki okay, its very frustrating because i never know if the printer is doing well or not..

Kevin Duong there's a layer view as it prints. If you see the layer view is a big rectangle like this then you'd be best served stopping the print right then rather than exposing the whole vat of resin.

Update firmware, happened to me, if you are on the last és firmware just update again and all back to normal

Take the resin vat out and run the print and make sure it's not doing that then cancel it then run it again with the vat back inside

same for me also, On print goes this bad. After flashing no more trouble.

Alexander Bayerdorffer Like i said, i dry run all the time before printing still this is happening. I try update then firmware. Any other suggestions?

Sylvain Revol okay i try update the firmware

connect USB , only after to turn on the printer. if you do before, motherboard has problems loading external ports

make sure to power off the printer and power it back on before the print.

pause it after 5min to make sure its printing correctly.

Kevin Duong so if you run the test how long do you set it for? Default is 200s. If you hit pause by accident then hit print again you are just resuming that test print for the remainder of the 200s which makes sense seeing as to how this is one solid block. The other question is when you hit print does the plate drop into the vat? With out code to tell the plate to raise to certain height that test screen would not print anything that thick. It is almost like you are running the lcd test with the vat in-place.

Update Firmware, this happened to me a few months ago and that fixed it

Few weeks ago ?

holy crap :O

could you fixed it?

Kevin Duong it didn’t happen again, I‘m powering it up before putting in the usb Drive now.

I have used their plan based grey. I dont have any pics at the moment, but i didn't notice any detail differences. It certainly smells a lot better though

Kyle McPherson they have plant based gray?

Cory Lautzenheiser yeah

Did you put it into test mode?

Wes Mischke no, is that a setting on the printer its self? Isn't it just a print file what does test mode do.

So you’ll have to get the test and print mode files from GitHub

Load the test and print mode files into usb like a sliced file. Then “print” the test mode file, then print your resin exposure test then “print” print mode to return your printer to stock settings.

UV light source, IPA or some other cleaner, and a decent way of getting prints off the plate, Nitrile gloves and a mask

This above! As well as a good source of fume extraction. I'd suggest an inline fan and a carbon filter :) your body will Defo thank you later

Thanks very much.

Fizzy FizzleMack it will be in a workshop which is pretty much a garage so is pretty cold or would that not be enough of an extractor?

I'm in the UK and went for these bits.

Plenty of kitchen roll, long bladed craft knife, modelling files, sandpaper, filler, primer, paints and bucket loads of patience.

I wouldn't risk it bud. First try a print in the garage. Post printing if you can smell the resin. Then I'd suggest the above what I've mentioned pal. Rather be safe than sorry dude ??

I picked up the 24w (dual) uv led strips to cure stuff, then attached them around a cooking pot from wilko.

Works a treat

Stuart Johnson any chance you can link the UV led strip?

Fizzy FizzleMack you in the uk?

LightingWill 24 Watts UV Black... https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07X5ZPFZ5......

I was dubious it would do the job, until I fired them up and it worked a treat :)

Stuart Johnson yep

Stuart Johnson sorry you were asking fizzy. ?

Aye ;)

Daniel Weatherhead I've got mine in me room, using the Anycubic Basic Grey, without all that gubbins and I've not noted it to be particularly smelly or noxious but I AM a smoker so that may be a factor.

I found the nastiest bit of it is the cleaning a fter the print. I'm using Meth's for the Basic Clean followed by the IPA and that lot stinks to high heaven.

Also, if your garage is too cold the Resin may not be as 'responsive' or as 'fluid' as is required. (Couldn't think of better words) Might be worth investing in a heater for that area.

Neal Conway Thanks a lot. Very useful.

The most basic thing you'll need is isopropyl alcohol or something to clean your prints off when they're done. As far as not enough Sunshine it doesn't really take very much. I set my prints on the windowsill and even on a cloudy day they still cure. T hat will at least get you started printing. Eventually you'll probably want to get more rubber gloves and paint filters. But basically with just some alcohol to clean your prints off when you're done you can get started printing. UV curing stations, fume extraction and all of that stuff are kind of optional and whatever you prefer on that. I live in a tiny home so the best spot for my printer was behind the toilet on a Shelf. I don't hardly notice any smell from it at all unless I'm sitting right there next to it watching it.

Haha not a problem Dan and yes I and from the UK Stuart. Cheers for the link dude ??
