Hi, one of my printers has started acting up again.
I have 2 Photon printers. Both are around the same age but the one that gives me issues from time to time is a month older. I set it up this year in January. I started having issues with it a week or so ago where every time that I printed something I’d have to clean the resin vat. There was always some sort of artifact in there stuck to the FEP film. So in between prints I’d drain the vat, scrape off anything that needed to be scraped off, cleaned with IPA and started a new print.
I decided yesterday I’d check the FEP tension as there were some screws on the bottom that looked loose. I found the tension was at about 190hz to I tightened to around 300hz and printed again last night.
Needless to say my print was not good.
?
Seems like I had these issues before and I swapped out the FEP film and everything went back to normal. I can try that again but wanted to see if anyone had any other ideas.
As you can see in the pics there is a lot of extra resin everywhere (especially near the bottom) but I am still getting some nice crisp details. That picture with the space ships the middle model is pretty much destroyed.
Both my printers print the same files. They are on the same firmware and right next to each other.
I do plan on swapping out the film tonight but wanted to see if anyone else had any ideas. Is it normal that the FEP becomes looser after use?
