I'm just curious but what do people use to make their minis a little more accidental drop friendly?
I am using anycubic black, it's what came with my printer, and I have twice when painting my minis accidentally drop from like 10-15 inches height my minis and something always breaks on them.
I doubt it's my curing, I give them about 15-20 seconds all around cure time and they are good. It's just the drops.

Is there another resin I could get or something to blend in my resin to make them not so breaky breaky?

Anycubic is terrible for brittleness. Try mixing in 20% Monocure flex, or use Siraya abs-like or Mix in 20-30% Siraya Tenacious for a model you can bounce off your driveway with no damage

Siraya Blu is great but more expensive than their normal resin. I have been mixing 50% Siraya Blu with 50% Siraya Tech Fast and having great results.

Elegoo ABS-like is a good budget choice.

Tobi Altebaeumer can you explain the difference between abs gray and normal gray?.... ? I can't seen to find a straight answer on google

i mix in a lil flex resin and keep winging it

I use anycubic eco resin. A 10 sec cure time. It's still has a bit of flexibility, never had one break.

Bill Keeter

20% tenacious is what I’m using.

Tobi Altebaeumer
2020-03-28 02:29:35

Normal gray is brittle like Anycubic resins.
ABS-like is more flexible.

Hello! I really, really need your help here.

Here's a nice collection of my latest print failures, all from one and the same print xD If you want to help, please read more :)

I have Anycubic Photon, the original, and I've had it for a few months now, 4 bottles of resin used with little to no problems. The bed is levelled, FEP makes a nice drum sound when poked and isn't broken, temperature is acceptable (~18 °C), resin is Elegoo Grey, settings worked for all this time perfectly, as well as supports, no file errors, or corruption detected. What's more, these models were printed before in similar configuration.

The failures have all been marked, but I can point them out individually.

1. The whole bottom-left area seems to not have stuck to the plate, and I can see individual layers not sticking to each other too.

2. At one point, one third of the plate just stopped printing for a while, which happened one print before in the same place at a different height. The other part was stuck to the FEP, but a big chunk was missing in between.

3. At the bottom layers, printing seems to have moved to the right a little, creating a weird warp.

4. There are 2 or 3 very visible layer lines on the cylinder, maybe some warping happened there too.

Similar failures also happened the last time I printed something, but I thought it was file corruption, so I printed again. Right now I don't want to print again until I know what went wrong.

Maybe you had those problems before, and know the reason? Please tell me what you think, and what I should do. Thank you for your help!

Try wiping the build plate with acetone, that fixed that issue for me

Daniel Kelly

I think your room temperature should really be a bit higher - around 23C-25C optimal. Could also be that the resin needs to be mixed better. I know I've had successful prints and then printed straight away afterwards and the next one has failed - my assumption for that failure is that the resin has settled in the VAT. next print, nothing else changes but I put the resin back in the bottle and shake it like crazy and the next print is perfect.

Wojtek Gierszal
2020-03-28 00:18:19

Thanks! But in my case I mixed the resin after the first one that failed, and printed this next.. plus this doesn't really explain why printer just stopped working on the same side and just didn't print a chunk of the miniature..

Wojtek Gierszal
2020-03-28 00:21:20

Rory Kostman

Cleaners like "Mean green" or "Simple Green" are often suggested as alternatives for folks who live in places where it is difficult to get Isopropyl alcohol or Methylated spirits.

Jeff Greenfield

Frank Rouge We call it denatured alcohol in the US. It’s basically Ethyl with bittering agents to make it undrinkable. Also used as fuel for hot tables and such.

Steve Landers

I use Simple Green and it does the job well, but it takes a lot of time rinsing to get the Simple Green off.

Valentin Simon

Hey guys. I do not know about your specific techniques... In france IPA is quite costy, so i'm cleaning my parts with aceton. It works very well but you have to do it quite quick. Like shake for 5 seconds the print in aceton and then put it to dry in an UV box and the result is excellent.

Frank Rouge

原文網址 Mackenzie Akred

Hey guys,

More just curious from my experience so far, but in the recommended setting for Grey AnyCubic Resin for .02 Layer height, it has 10.5 for the Normal Exposure time.

Edit: Whoops, forgot to mention I have an Anycubic Photon S

I have printed in this, and notice "swelling" in some things, primarily supports, but a few other things as well (in the below image, the claw and left support is most obvious). This is causing the supports to get too close to the model and adhere, even though they are very clearly away from the model. I tested at 8 exposure, and got a better result, as far as normal sizing, but obviously getting a more, rubbery print that just needs to bask in the sun more.

The detail looks good on both, with very small details showing on both, but the higher exposure shows deeper cavities and sturdier details, which is awesome! It does though make my medium supports impossible to remove cleanly after print. I guess I want to figure out if there is a setting I am missing that is causing this issue? That or if I am reading the "Anycubic Photon Resin Settings" incorrectly.

I went ahead and attached a few of my local settings.
This is all settings I used for the latest print.

I also put up one of the prints, and the render of it in app. (Sorry for the unclean "Post-Process")

Sorry for the longish post, but feel free to ask questions for anything I may have missed.

Exposure times differ between the different Photon models (S needs significantly less time than original, for example), and probably a bit between individual printers due to variations in the UV source (manufacturing variation s, age etc.). If by "recommended settinG", you mean one you got from acommunity spreadsheet, these are a bit hit and miss at best

Mackenzie Akred
2020-03-27 23:23:44

Niall Forrester ,
That's good to know. Yes I have the Anycubic Photon S. I don't know why I always forget to mention that. (Probably because I think this is a Anycubic Facebook Group lol)
I was using the community spreadsheet as well, yes, but maybe one that was not for the "S" model.

Mackenzie Akred
2020-03-27 23:24:02

Niall Forrester ,
Thank you for bringing that all to light already.

Niall Forrester
2020-03-27 23:27:11

Mackenzie Akred Was just editing and updating my comment, but the editor closed.

I was mentioning that I am not convinced that 0.02 is really worth it, and would encourage you to do a side by side comparison at 0.05 (or maybe 0.04) and 0.02: my conclu sion was that exposure times for 0.02 were basically no lower than for 0.05 and the detail was not noticably better. Print times, however, are much higher

Most likely the sheet you saw was for the standard model, 10.5 sounds high for the S

Mackenzie Akred
2020-03-27 23:31:12

Niall Forrester ,
I notice some better details at .02, (I see layering at .05)but you are more than likely correct, I could at least go up to .03 or even .04.

Do you yourself have a Photon S? What would you recommend at say, .03?

Niall Forrester
2020-03-27 23:32:21

Mackenzie Akred I'm running an original, with different resin, so my settings are not much help. I went back to 0.05 in any case (printed at 0.02 for a while, but print times are soooo long)

Mackenzie Akred
2020-03-27 23:33:46

Niall Forrester ,
Well thank you so much for what was said so far. Much appreciated!

Niall Forrester
2020-03-27 23:34:20

And when I did a side-by-side comparison with my setup, I got best results at 9s for 0.05mm and at .... 8-9s with 0.02mm, so no reduction in exposure time

Niall Forrester
2020-03-27 23:35:45

Thinking about it, it might be worth running an exposure range test - even 8s might be highish for an S model (mostly guessing though)

I accidently broke off a character's foot when I was removing supports, so I used a piece of support to make an impromptu pegleg. Luckily we were doing an airship battle, so it went along with the pirate them

Hey group! I was wondering if anyone uses Elegoo Resin, and if so, do you have any blue?

I ask because I'm running low on blue resin and can't get any until end of April, understandably so. If anyone has any full, near full bottles, I'd gladly pay along with shipping. Any help is appreciated.
