I’m looking for some advice from within the collective wisdom here.
I recently changed resin to Elegoo transparent blue and my first couple of prints haven’t gone so well. Originally, I was using the Anycubic transparent green resin without issue and with great results. But I’ve been less successful with the new resin.
First time around I put it down to the source file and how I had the item on the plate in the slicer. However, with a different model using support, I noticed some issues that could explain what went wrong the first time around.
I supported and sliced the model using ChituBox. I’ve attached photos of the supports and the print (the first three pictures). As you can see the supports have all merged into one big raft such that they will be impossible to remove. Furthermore, the raft was very difficult to remove from the plate when the print completed - I almost had to chisel it off.
I’ve prepared new print using Prusa Slicer as a test (see the last photo), but I suspect my problem is with my exposure times for the different resin.
The settings I am used for the Elegoo transparent blue are 16s exposure time, 8 bottom layers and 60s bottom exposure time. These are based on exposure data Google Sheet from Photonsters and are different from what I had been using for the Anycubic green.
My question is, are my exposure setting off or is it something else?
Recommendations or suggestions appreciated.
