You need thicker supports on the very bottom of the fails, then you can go thinner as you go up.

Supports failed, check the bottom of your vat.

You are flirting with failed prints. And that is the biggest waste of resin.

You can set the thickness of the supports, along with all their other settings, by going on the right side of the program, it will show "Pad,Supports" under the stl, and you can right click on that and choose the settings you want to modify. That said, the thinner your supports, the more likely they will let go due to suction from the prints for a failure.

Failures create more waste than successes do because you have to use twice as much resin.

Making supports thinner increases the liklihood of failed prints.

Just make sure you add enough support so you only have to print something once.

Unless of course it is something you are making multiples of I guess.

Get rid of the raft and keep your support bases to 1.5mm thickness

peel off or plagued ?

Ether Quanta Deals I’m calling it a plague because on the other print it was minor and fixable but this is just idk

Brian Rhodes re-checked your supports, be sure the file is watertight, re-think about lift speed and lift distance.

Well here is today’s on the plate currently test. I changed some supports and it’s gotten further

Brian Rhodes Sorry my english is not good. further good or not ?

More completed

Still pretty new myself, but i'll take a crack at it. It's looking like you lifting and retraction speeds are a bit high. Also could be your orientation of the print to the plate that could be effecting it at those layers of the print.

Here's a pretty good link to explaining how orientation and lift speeds can effect prints. https://www.instructables.com/....../5-Settings-to......

Well I believe I solved the issue with some better places supports. This model has been a pain due to such high detail and the fact I want it on my desk to look at when I’m done

Ok so here is the update as we near the final quarter of printing today.......the issue was poor support placement to hold the edge of the feet evenly. I used the defective print as a starting point to fix the supports up. Pictures will be added once it’s done

And here is the final result of the printing.

And after three days of fooling around we have

Dial down the exposure

Try 10 sec, experiment with lower if it ain't perfect

Sandro Pateishvili would 9 sec be too much of a jump from 12?

Yea I'll give that a go cheers

I generally go down in 0.5 seconds when trying to balance quality vs the whole think dropping off from supports not printing effectively. You could test print this head a few times over as safe test as wont take too long

Brent Mayhew download the Ameralabs test print and print at different exposures to gain an insight into best settings

Whoaaa....that’s way overexposed and ya probably got nowhere near the detail you should...8s is awesome for .04 layers....you’re doing .02(which really isn’t helping but that’s another story)

looks awesome but 12 seconds sounds like you're over exposing it. Off the top of my head i'd say somewhere between 4 - 6 should be about right but i don't have a whole lot of experience with anycubic grey.

My friend you can get way better detail. I use 4 seconds for .02 with opaque grey.

With the latest update (5.0.2 from last december?) you can use chitubox. The first thing I did when I got my printer is updating to this firmware. Never had a problem besides user errors.

Is that some nebulon b and lancer frigates

Yes

I can't name any offhand, but I believe so. I'm having the same problem with the brittle nature, with Warhammer and Battletech miniatures

Try soaking in hot water after cleaning but before curing then remove the supports and then cure

If you do that, can you handle them without gloves, or do you need gloves until they are cured?

Steve Landers I would recommend using gloves until cured

Steve Landers I still wear gloves until they are fully cured to be safe

And chitubox I think has easier to remove supports

Consider mixing in some flex resin.

Elegoo abs-like has yielded great results for me. I print 28mm miniatures and the elegoo stuff has a good amount of flex to it.

Steve Landers You can handle them without gloves: the part has already been “cured” by your printer...the “post-cure” as it’s properly called, enhances final properties of the resin, like hardness and tensile strength.

Syria Blu is a good choice. you can mix it with some other resins too to make them more durable.

Thanks for all of the help! I am having a lot of fun with this thing!

if you want reasonably priced resin with flexible properties. try Hero resin... https://www.3dresinsolutions.com/

Any resin is less brittle than anycubic green.

I've swapped to Elgoo Grey. Similar/better price, better durability, and way less fumes.

I've been wondering why everyone goes with green resin? Is it easir to paint? Cheaper? Or does it just come with some printers?

I would remove all the support and sand it before curing with UV

Douglas Parkinson with anycubic gray, i mix 15% flex100 to make it less brittle.

Stephen Hill that’s what is use and it’s been great.

How small did you print that? The resolution looks really low.

i use elegoo abs like translusent resin, and it's not brittle at all (i can even bend the arms of my minis, when they fall they don't break) plus it's gorgeous if i want to keep it no painted ;)

Harley Swanson it came with my printer

I can recommend buying monocure flex 100, a liter will last you almost forever, you mix it with the existing resin you have. You don't use it neat so to speak. I have tried it with delicate prints that you know will break or snap if handled in the wron g way and it is fantastic. You can have a look here to see what its about https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p_orRlIUU9s and purchase from here https://monocure3d.com.au/ the product is Australian made so for the Aussies out there buy local. His prices on his resin are more than reasonable. I buy whenever he has specials going which are all the time. I buy and use his clear and white, generally the clear and tint them if I need another colour which is rare as I undercoat and paint nearly all of my models.

Harley Swanson I love it, very easy to get good settings and details. Used half a bottle of clear and couldnt get a good print

Highly reccomend elegoo ABS like resin. my grey prints can be dropped on laminate flooring and bounce no problem - not on purpose mind you :(

Nikola Pijanac What are your settings, please? 15 s layer?

60 bottom . 9 secs the rest using clear resin.

cant add multiple at once so here goes

next

one more to go

Last one, this has worked well for me, you will need to adjust as required, even though our machines are generally the same, everything always needs a little tweaking. You need to take into consideration the resin you are using etc etc.

They are between 1 and 2 inches in length. Good details for the size.

Steve Landers ok. That makes sense at that size. I have gotten good results with a model at about 3.5” and up. The bottom is a sculpted model at about 1/2256 scale.

I am using them for somewhat mass fleets with a slightly sliding scale. The Star Destroyers are 1:10000, and my smaller stuff is about 1:5000. If you don't scale a bit Corellian Corvettes are tiny and fighters are dots...

the detail can be much better

Lots of people have done this in this group, and when I refine my design (and finish my resin heater) I'm going to do it too!

I did this but the Anycubic gray resin I used was brittle and broke in a few places. I used it anyway and it held up to the heat just fine

Dang! Wish I had the extra money. Great deals!

Do you know how many how many hours of prints on the photons? I’d to have to replace the screens soon after.

The photon s has a brand new screen I'd say maybe 20hours max on it. The normal photon has about 60 hours

Joel Mendoza see post below

Next Friday is my spare pay day...

Sending PM.

You can get a was n cute new for 159 with a promo code from vog on youtube

Kenny Prestia link and is it 3 day shipping?

Matt Farmer https://youtu.be/qGh7WiZ-v9Y

Promo is in the description

Kenny Prestia good deal...they used to be that price when they first dropped. Now they're up $30

Is it a Photon or a Fauxton?

Gary Hines Gary Hines

Direct sunlight exposure would make it brittle I think. Unless there is a super sun resistant resin

Just spray paint it and clear coat.
