If I have an object that is basically solid, and am unable to effectively put a drain into it so I can get rid of excess resin and rinse it out, would printing in in one of the clear or see through resins let it cure fully with the UV light or would the interior still stay uncured???

Detail test seems to have come out well. I'm slightly concerned though I printed this overnight and came out this morning to discover the resin in the vat really thick and slightly lumpy with it feeling like something is stuck on the bottom sheet. I didn't have time to clear it out and look before work any ideas what could cause that? It's not UV exposure as was in an unlit room. The temp didn't drop too much maybe to 5 degrees but it was printing at that.

An interesting video about UV and 405nm light from a quality YT channel that is relevant to our activities:

Greetings! I am looking for accessories to get started. Please share your MINIMALIST setup ideas suitable for small space and not much storage for extra accessories like Ultrasonic cleaners, dedicated custom UV curing stations and elaborate printer enclosures. Based on lots of reading I already did here, I was thinking the following: 1) UV nail lamp for curing 2) Printed vent adapter for the init itself to vent out of the window 3) Resinaway to avoid the need for ultrasonic cleaner and be able to store it cleanly without much smell. Is this enough to get decent quality parts for molds and and also control smell/toxicity? Thanks!

Man, once I got the build plate leveled, this printer is killing it. Almost makes printing on my FDM printers not as much fun...almost.

Question: is it cloudy because I left it in the IPA to long? Also, is UV curing required as before UV curing, the print is not tacky and already seems like it's good to go? Thanks!!

Hi folks. Sooooo just set up my new photon.
Have a CR10s, Ender 3, both heavily modded and working well etc...
Did UV LCD test ✅
Levelled ✅
Loaded test print from usb ✅
2 hrs later ..... print is 50% done. Nothing on build plate. Resin in vat but no solids. Looks like UV didn’t function ?

Any other ideas ? ?

SOS

I'm a newbie to 3D printing so I don't know how to describe the problem I am having. I got my printer in December and my first several prints turned out well. Some layer lines which I thought at the time were normal but now am not sure about. About 4 weeks ago through I ended up with a big problem.

I am getting strips of resin running through my prints, I also always end up with extra hardened resin on the bottom of my vat. for the life of me I can not figure out why.

Here are the things I've done so far to try and fix this.
1) I use the guide here for my resin times https://docs.google.com/…/1crvzMnt_8NJXAsABinoIhcOjE8…/edit…
2) I have further increased the exposure times to make sure no bits are flaking off
3) used 2 different USB sticks
4) I have reformatted both USB sticks
5) I have run a 3 minute LCD exposure test without seeing any flickering
6) I have tried 6 different prints
7) From 4 different sources (Tinkercad, HeroForge, Thingiverse, Fusion 360)
8) Using 4 different Anycubic brand resins (Grey, Skin, Orange, Yello)
9) I have used 2 different slicers (any cubic stock and Chitubox)
10) I have releveled the thing more times than I can count
11) I have cleaned the vat multiple times
12) I have replaced the FEP Film
13) I have checked all of the internal connectors to make sure they are secure
14) I have posted on Reddit and another facebook forum an been told that it might be my UV lamp but all the testing that I've done following their instructions my printer has passed with no issue.
15) I have been told I should watch my prints but I can't see them since the build plate is in the way.
16) I have printed them 90 degrees vertically and 45 degree tilt same situation both times. I have not been able to successfully do a 90 degree horizontal print as the dials always fall of o their supports even when i add about double the auto generated supports.

Support is out for New Years and I am at a total loss for how to do things any better than I am. The prints I'm attaching photos of are not complex prints they are essentially 3 cylinders.

Help would be greatly appreciated

Hi guys, does anyone experience with this resin: PhotoCentric3D UV DLP Flexible? How flexible is it? I´m thinking to print "rupper-tyres" for my RC-Jet!
The FDM Version printed by my any cubic i3 mega is not so good!
