Did you get resin inside the ball joint?

you probably got resin into the ball joint.

Disassemble the printhead, clean out the inside with IPA, reassemble. I had to do that a bunch cause i tend to overfill my vat. If that happens, its not a big issue.

So I did, too. Worked fine.

Also take the 4 screws out and detach the top portion. Underneath that is 3 screws in a triangle pattern. If those go loose it will wobble.

Nooooooo! Don't do anything with the four screws yet. Take the grub screw out that is supposed to tighten the build plate. Now put the Allen key back in the hole and there's a very good chance you have another one in there. That's the one you tighten. The one you've taken out is a spare.

There are actually 2 set screws on top. The set screw you loosen and retighten to level the plate has another underneath it. Remove top one,level plate,tighten bottom screw,replace and tighten top screw

Oh I see, I always tried my best to not overfill my vat. To my knowledge I never did. But thanks for the insight, I know what to do now! :)

No,its not a spare Ian Gill ...its a double lock setup. Both are needed to insure it doesnt come loose

So i did take the grub screw out and the screw inside the hole is not something I can tighten or loosen. This is the photon s btw

Mourni Tenchou and use blue lock-tight on the screws that should not be coming loose

You mean this screw inside? I already tried turning it with an Allen wrench but it doesn't work, there's no opening for the wrench to be inserted into

I had this problem and found that the set-screw had broken in half and any attempt to tighten it was only tightening the top half down onto the bottom half.

I took it apart and am cleaning everything

Print the „More Easy Bed Leveller“ equipped with 4 Ball pen Springs.
Pur a paper on the Screen , move Home , Set Z , tighten screws and you are Fine !

Hey everyone thanks for the help! The problem is SOLVED. I took it apart, cleaned with IPA and put it all back together.

Ric Watts if you are cleaning resin from it - use gloves!

(if this is reassembly after thorough cleaning, never mind)

Marco Dieckhoff stock photo from the net. Not my hands ? i don’t open the door without gloves

was going to say resin in the ball joint. happens way to often with me lol

your second guess is the right one. the correct term is "aliasing".

André Nettermann thanks for identifying my lines. :)

Alex Clarke if in doubt, you can always print the z wobble test "not a cube" from Thingverse.

André Nettermann it doesn't seem to make these artefacts on amorphous edges (like a flowing cloak) just on such regular angles planes. I shall investigate aliasing.

Guess print downtime = maintenance

Id assume different for every resin. But slower is always better. I only lift about 10mm

According to Boris, the recommended distance is 2 metres.

Level the build plate. The supports are disconnected before it get to the arm.
Also run the uv test to confirm your screen is working

Probably you need to a) use stronger support settings and/or b) adjust the contact depth of your support endpoints as they are breaking away due to the suction forces applied.

And this i have to say in general because it annoys me to no end: Supports breaking off when all other features as seen in the picture print fine HAVE NOTHING to do with bed leveling. People need to stop shouting out any random nonsense they have heard and repeating it to others.

Gergely Jávor I was thinking the same thing with that last comment ?

The amount of BS people regurgitate to one another in FB groups without a single thought is driving me insane. Its fine that people want to help another but its NOT fine to spew out all maner of nonesense just so that you can say you said something, At this rate i wouldn't be suprised if one day someone suggest someone to calibrate their esteps first because surely that is the problem...

Gergely Jávor lmao wait it's still early

Also while being on the subject of suggestions. Additional to what i said in my original answer you might also want to consider playing around with the orientation of your model. The reason why its often suggested to print at an angle is that you start with smaller crosssections which in turn reduce the suction forces and stress applied with each retract move. This might not have a direct affect on the point where you have issues (because the first islands at the hand might not be that big) now but having a different orientation that is not so flat towards the bed might also help. Try playing around with PrusaSlicers optimize orientation features as that may give you a good suggestion on what to try maybe.

I had prints where hands or fingers failed similarily in one orientation with the same support settings and they didn't in other ones. Its probably a mix of experimentation. Try to adjust supports as well as orientation and see if that helps.

Most likely exposure time

Most people use ChiTuBox with the OG Photons

Nice paint job!

Very nice

Excellent! I love seeing other people’s layering techniques as I’m new to painting.

Brilliant painting.

I have seen these orcs around quite a bit the last couple of days. Where did you get the STLs? Would love to have a set.

Artisan guild.

Ah, that is what I thought. I am a patron of theirs but haven't seen these orcs, what month were they from?

I am a new patron of theirs. I bought this set and then became a patreon after seeing how awesome the minis turned out.

That is some fine painting!

Painting skills!!

Love the details, you got skills.

nice paintjob

Mind sharing your resin/print settings? This is really clean.

Elegoo Grey. .03 layer height. 8 second exposure. Temp in the area ranges from 60-75F.

Awesome ✔️

The paint usually covers up the layer lines anyway.

Gotta love resin

Phillip Lovelace orcs were September 2019.

Paul West Of course, about a month before I joined lol.

Haha, it happens. Good news is you can use a coupon code on them and still get the files from the MMF store if you so desire! :)

Yep, just need to wait until the first of the month lol.

Awesome! Wanna paint mine?

I still don’t understand how people get this type of shading. Either my paint is too thick that it doesn’t glaze, or too thin that it just runs off. Halp!

After you thin the paint make sure your brush isn't over saturated. I will wipe the brush on the edge of my wet pallet to get off excess paint.

Ben Miller hmmm that might actually be my problem. Will keep working on it, thanks!

I don’t know how people do this level of detail. Do you use some sort of magnifying glass?

Patience and plenty of light. I spent hours on just this guy alone.

Ben Miller well you did an amazing job

I had to laugh do reading glasses count as a magnifying glass :) I use a magnifying glass as well at times. Some of the detail you see maybe a dry brush technique as well. Look up on YouTube dry brushing detail, you'll get the gist of it pretty quickly . The orc is very nicely done!! Dry brushing will give you a lot of amazing detail and others will think you have the hand of the big man himself Michael Angelo lol. Awesome detail can be achieved without having to actually paint in line by line. There are those with deft hands that can of course paint the finest lines.

I forgot to mention also look up washing models, that's another technique used to add detail but not necessarily painted line by line. Theres a ton of tips and trick revealed by a lot of dedicated people on youtube that are happy to share how they do it.

Dry brushing and washing are excellent ways to bring out detail! Just use them in moderation. To much drybrushing can make the model look dusty and to much wash can drown out definition. I have done both.

amazing

So good!

What layer height are you printing at?

.03

Ben Miller oh nice! I do .03 too, but takes a long time. Glad to hear somebody else is going through that too

Yeah I don't mind the wait. I have 2 FDM printers that regularly do 12 hour prints. So I am used to it.

Now, this is a well painted mini.
Good Job! ?

Interesting, publish the results when the print is ready, please!

Игорь Лубенец

Thanks, great result!)
Which resin was used?

Игорь Лубенец suen ching resin

Surprisingly, none that I've been able to find.

Hummmm a gap in the market! Rare indeed
