Thanks Joe. That's as good a price as I've seen anywhere else.

Hi, you can try NOVA 3D resin.

https://www.amazon.co.uk/....../ref=sr_1_14_sspa......

Yes.

yes this is the sound of success, this means the print stick to the buildplate instead of the fep :D

Thank God, i was really scared that it was going to tear the fep apart and leak resin to the LCD

Thank God!

That's the sound you know it adhered to the build plate. If you don't hear it in the first few layers, print is most likely not going well.

Sometimes it makes a noise that you really think something's gonna break, always mini heart attacks, but then it turns out fine anyways.

Yup

Most definitely; this is exactly what you want to hear! I literally wait through my first ten layers or so to make sure I've heard it! Very good indication regarding your levelling. What method did you use in the end?

Andy Murtagh yours, i think it was you who told me to overcook the first layers

yes it was, was it the video I sent you that you used to level?

It did! Very useful! Now i'm learning how to cure the resin. Still a little confuse, i must admit it.

Btw thanks for the tips! You saved my prints

Well, from a few thousand miles away it looks good to me!!


And yeah, I can’t think of any way to make glue lines disappear. Especially if you’re not planning on painting it. B

Gary Slovinsky thank you!

My friend is super happy with it, so I guess success? Lol

Oksana Shevchenko Any print that don’t end up as a blob stuck to your FEP is a good print.

Gary Slovinsky not always. But yes!

I know the advice is late in coming, but I've heard some folks use the liquid resin and their curing station to "glue" pieces together. Dunno whether that would have given you a better result.

Michael Rieser probably not. The pieces didn't fit right

I haven't tried multiple pieces myself, but my wife and I love what you've done. My wife mentioned it reminded her of blown glass.

Michael Rieser thank you!!

Looks great!

Oksana Shevchenko , i bought a 405 nm blue laser from amazon and i use the uncured resin as a glue, you can even thin it a bit with alcohol so it “wicks” into the seam between parts applied with a fine paintbrush. Then you mask off the line with tape a nd laser away. It worked so well i have started to build parts this way at work that then get sanded and sprayed with a clear to make clear parts, like last week i intentionally left the bottom out of a bottle so i could sand the inside as well as the outside wall, then lasered the seam and nobody noticed after it was done.

Ben Knipper ooo that sounds like tons of work. Holy crap. How long does it take?

Oksana Shevchenko its work yes, but its not terrible. I dont have any pictures im allowed to show because of NDA’s with clients but i’ll try to make a video of it tomorrow for an example. The lasering part only takes a minute tops. The rest of the s anding and finishing is dependent on the part, I sand clear parts with 80, 150, 220, 320, 400, then switch to wet 600 grit before hitting it with a 2k urethane clear coat. That can take a days worth of work or so it just depends if your piece needs that or not. The pegasus looks great by the way I just wanted to let you know you can get rid of cracks and seams with thinned resin and a small laser, ill find the amazon link and drop it here when i get home.

dont start a print and cancel it while homing
and dont stop homing if u pres home

for some reason it wont home after that and just go down

Mario Hippmann so every time I cancel it doing anything I just reset the z axis zero?

Josh Berkley no, just restart your printer and u will be good to go

Mario Hippmann awesome thanks for the info!

The home position is set by an optical sensor. You can see it at the back and it has an LED indicator, so might be worth checking it is triggering properly, as it is easy to check and costs nothing.

There is a metal tab that moves with the build plate - the tab triggers the sensor as the build plate moves down into home position

yes, level your print platform correctly :)

Level, level, level. Also, learning how to support the model is important.

I have learned recently that when you Tighten the leveling screw, don't do it gently. Crank that bitch.

For small models 28-50) should I fill 1/3 with resin?

Looking very good! :)

Do you do the casting?

Edward Chin no, it's a master for my customer to cast

Great project! Private message sent.

Let us know how that goes! ? ❓

Following ?

I’m using fabuloso in place of IPA getting ok results not great but not bad

Anycubic recommends ethanol to clean their resins. Denatured alcohol is mostly ethanol with some methanol added. Some denatured has acetone and few other things in small amounts.

Try windshield washing fluid.

4.2.18 is what you want. Either download it from the Photonsters site, or use the Epax X1 version (recommended).

What's the dinfrence with the epax x1 version

Epax X1 I use can't fault it, perfect prints every time

The epax same printer underneath then?

I'm looking at the 4.2.23 that the best one for the epax

Bob Deblier I’m only seeing 5.0.2 on anycubic a site should this be the one we install?

Depends which photon you have, if it is a classic photon with a Chitu board you can use epax fw

Yeah mine is the classic photon

Oscar H. Montes negative. 4.2.18, as stated before.

No message there

Perhaps the point lol

? n 400

Turn it on and off again ? I had that issue and restarted it, seems to work fine now
