Latest Fail

0 of 6 so far

Tried multiple settings, multiple structures, multiple levels, everything is clean, different models. starting to get very frustrated. and from the lack of success that seems to be happening on this page.... I am not the only one feeling the pain.

Here is my latest fail settings straight from the google doc. line 27? i think. Doesn't work. should be updated and no bueno.

Closest thing I have had to a success was what I posted a few days ago, but that was hardly a success as I could not trim the supports as the print was way too brittle and snapped pieces off my model.

any help, advice, or anything to stop me from hucking this pos across the room

Along with your advice, should you be so kind as to provide some, please post RECENT successes to give me some inspiration to keep going.

TIA

Thanks for the add... just ordered my printer and bottle of their new plant based uv resin... been watching lots of videos so pulled the trigger on this.. So from what I've watched so far I'll need to buy or build a simple uv curing setup? So without posting links, I found a "Curing Light Solar Powered Rotary Display Stand Turntable Kit for SLA DLP 3D Printer " for $33 . I assume this would fit the bill, or simply set outside, but I wouldn't want them to get dirty etc.. So what else besides rubbing alcohol will I be needing to purchase? What consumables? (besides gloves etc) . I found a good shared google doc listing many resin types and multiple settings people suggest, im sure that will be useful, I'm confused with all the resins though any why some wont work etc.. and what happens if the setting simply is not right? Does the unit have built in settings for various resins perhaps? I'd like a tough resign to make things like keychains, and things that might be outdoors in the elements.. can anyone suggest some and why? I saw formlabs I believe it was tough resin but it was like $145 If my memory serves me... isn't there others that are durable... Don't want just a toy with things that break easy... After curing etc, how many of you paint your items, any specifics on types of paints to use?

Hey there!

I'm using my Photon and ChituBox since month and never had any big issues (minor only), but this is new:

I'm loading STLs into Chitubox, as usual, arrange them, add supports and go to slice them... but now, when I want to save or browse through the slices, Chitubox just closes/crashes...

Happens with old and new version...

Any ideas? Tips tricks? My google skills didn't find anything.

Thing is, I also already printed these files a few days ago. I just scaled them a little bit up and put on new supports in 7mm height instead of 5mm... Lowering the model to 5 mm again also ends in the same issue!

Hope anybody can help :)

I am about to get my first resin printer. I will be using it for tabletop miniatures. I want to start watching some videos and guides on how to do this right. Can anyone point me to a good source where I can start learning tips and tricks to resin printing minis? I have seen people say to be sure and do longer exposures on the first layer, don't print the mini directly on the base but use supports under it. I'd love a comprehensive guide. Thanks all!

Another print for my friend.
Used anycubic clear resin,
0.05 layer height,
exposure 8sec,
bottom 60sec for 8 layers.
With grey primer.
And thank you guys for the scale stl tip to check the size.. ?

Hi guys,
I've read and tried almost everything.
I own 2 photons and 1 photon S.
I have used ac green, black and siraya blu many times and had very small issues once in a while.

Now, switching to rapid abs like translucent elegoo, it looks like my supports are doing fine the first 4 mm, then they start to thin up and they then disappear. The weird thing is that this happens only with some supports, mostly on the corners.

I have used timings up to 14 secs and 6,5 light off secs, down to 11 and 1.5 LO, but i still get these issues.

Last night i tried to print a small piece with a flat side on top of few heavy supports, starting at 5mms from the plate. After 80 some layers, the supports looked like they had a pointy tip and the photon never printed anything else after that.

What bugs me is that the lcd test worls fine, the rectangle shows fairly well and clear.

Temperature of the room is around 20degrees as i have two chirons working full time next to the photons and they are freaking heaters.

Here you see photos of the pigmented (with cmyk monocure 3d pigments) elegoo resin on both the photon and the photon s.

Also, i have been having these problems since switching to 1.6.1 chitubox software.

Any suggestions is very welcome as I am running out of ideas.
Thank you all for your time.

How do I get better details?
I am presenting info in the pictures. Im not sure what is useful or not...
I am not getting the details that it seem the print should have. Some of the details are just very soft. Some aren't even coming out...
I am using Elegoo Gray...so that might have something to do with it.
Tips? Advice? Are my settings incorrect?

Pretty stoked to finally turn something out! It’s been a few days of failure. Not that I’m saying this was a huge success but it’s a start! Came out very brittle and in post processing I snapped the spell effect from his hand. And some structure that will be tough to get at. I’ll have to play around and research on exposures and such to try to find the sweet spot.

Any tips and tricks would be helpful and appreciated.

Flame on! ?

Hi guys. I am sure this has been talked about somewhere so I apologize in advance. I can't seem to use my search-fu to find it. I have an original photon. I have not used it in awhile. I never updated any firmware etc. I always used the basic slicer that came with it and had great results. I had to format my computer so I downloaded anycubic's latest slicer. Now I can't get the machine to read any usb sticks. I put the stick in and boot up which makes it take a long time to boot then it basically wont let me get into any options like its frozen. Boot without usb and it works fine. Boot and insert usb it freezes. I have tried formatting usb, multiple different usb, usb I KNOW worked before etc. Is this a problem with the new slicer? Do I need to update firmware? Any help appreciated in advance. Thanks.

Hey guys, I’m trying to pull some silicone casts of models I’ve printed. I’ve found the silicone won’t cure while in contact with the resin. Has anyone else run into this?

I’m using any cubic grey.

I’m going to give it another shot with some parafin mould release as a barrier. But thought I’d post here for tips before wasting another round of silicone.
