Lee Rogers thank you

Good quality print. When I ordered my Photon Zero, I chose 2L of resin since they were charging $30/L. Both liters they sent me were AnyCubic black, so I wonder if I would have better results with a different resin.

Jonathan Basseri it was weird, 3 other resins perfect, I just could not get the black to work. Have returned to amazon and going to try an elegoo black.

Others have told me to maybe up the exposure time since it's more opaque than most resins. My last two prints game out alright, but I have aliasing problems I need to figure out. Clearly the Photon Zero can produce smooth outputs, so I need to experiment with settings.

Jonathan Basseri yeah I tried 60, 80 and 100, different base layers, normal exposure, pulled my hair out in the end ? ?

You could select the edge, then smooth out that selection, erase (you loose a little bit of the edge, and then have the inspector close the hole.

there's a inspector function in meshmixer? Sorry, newbie user here

on the left click Analysis, then select inspector, it will show some coloured balls, the pink ones are floating non attached parts, bleu is open holes, red is open hole but could create non manifold fix.

Meshmixer is not the most intuitive program to use, but watching lots of Youtube vids can really help, the best are the ones with dental fixtures, search " meshmixer dental"

Pre is definitely easier imo

Noise is much less

I’ve used dozens of resins

Lithophane are awesome on resin and yes you can go thin but the model can declare where

The orientation needs to be modified often

John Chrapkowski orientation needs to be modified?

John Chrapkowski of the dozens are certain brands better, certain colors more cooperative? Do some cure better then others?

tilt the model to:
Reduce surface area of each print layer

for the resin brands, I’ve not had too many bad experiences except I am not a fan of the water washable

John Chrapkowski so doing a 12cmx12cm tile like I showed in the image would not work?

Andrew Cameron it’s very thin so I would print it like that. Many will say tilt it but for such a small cross section you’ll be fine. If you’re doing many, I would move them around for each print to reduce wear on the FEP ( clear plastic on the bottom of vat) in a specific spot

John Chrapkowski not sure what the fep is. you mean the fep film? How long does the average fep last?

fep is the clear plastic that the layer is cured on, if all goes well it’s pulled off and sticks to the rest of the model. Durability is variable but I’ve found it to be pretty good. Around 30-50 prints. Cost is a couple dollars to replace

as for colors, transparent generally are shorter cure times and therefore ‘easier’ I suppose maroon seems to be really difficult for some reason

John Chrapkowski where are you finding these for a couple dollars I am seeing around 15 - 35 a sheet on amazon

First page on amazon. So these are 4 or 5 packs. I get two per sheet so a 5 pack is 10 replacements. You can buy in bulk for more savings

Thanks for the loads of great info!

What you're basically printing is something the Photons have been proven good a heap of times. It's a Lithopane. Hit the search box for the group with that key-word and you'll see what I mean.

r.e. resins, i.m.o. there are MUCH better resins than anyc ubic out there. I swear by Monocure Rapid 3d, but Sriraya (spelling?) also have a great rep. Treat resins just like you treat filaments. Sure you can probably buy the stuff with your printer's brand on the label, but it doesn't necesarily work any better with your printer than other stuff.

no this is just a terrain stl tile, not based on a photo not wanting to do lithopanes. Is the way I would have it angled on the bed an issue?

Andrew Cameron not on my experience. I keep having my large bases fail. I've tried flat, upright, 20d degree off axis and 45 degree.

William Tatum you talking about printing something like the picture?

Andrew Cameron yes. Largish, thinnish, flat structures for me warp, deform, or fail depending on plate orientation. Meanwhile my regular models, even large, but thick bits, do just fine.

It's the one area where I've had consistent failures.

crap. Back to the drawing board on the printer to buy. Wonder how people are getting thin lithopane prints without it warping then

resin settings pls.go through your trouble shooting steps. do a screen test to make sure the screen is good. relevel, make sure you didnt overfill and got resin in the ball joint

Not sure if it is your photo or not but it looks like your printing plate isnt level. Other wise i would ask if the whole photon is level.

also filter resin, check for floatys and stuff stuck to the screen

stock settings, file straight off the anycubic website - 8 sec exposure, 3mm/s lift speed, 60s bottom exposure, 3 bottom layers

I don't think the leveling is a problem because I have no problem with it sticking to the build plate, in fact I had trouble getting it off.

Mi Ha do 8 bottom

But the bottom is not a problem at all?

Mi Ha could be. means only .15mm of your base is super solid. try bringing layer base up to 9 or 10

Ok will try that.

is your resin expired? i got a load of exspired resin from anycubic that effected the cure time

Nathan Kopp No, the date on it says september 2020.

lol if its off by a small amount it can. or its shifting cause the ball joint is lubed. like i said start trouble shooting at the basics or everyone is just going to guess

I got another bottle of anycubic grey, maybe worth trying if that one would be any better?

Nathan Kopp I'll try to relevel.

Did you do the standard sacrifice to the printer gods or the enhanced?

can't say that i have, what's the protocol?

Mi Ha ok it’s a bit involved. First You need to strip down to your undergarments.. lol!

John Chrapkowski we're under quarantine, i've been like this for the whole week!

I'd say maybe a levelling issue or your fep needs tightening slightly? I've also had fails dew to the desk my photon was on wasn't level and so used a spirit level to double check. Not sure if it's the pic but the resin in your vat looks deeper on one side than the other. Could it be that your printer itself needs reorientating? The legs of the printer are adjustable. Hope this helps!

Hmm, that might be the case, i'll double check. Thanks for the suggestion!

Mi Ha no probs

Rich Harrison legs or feet on the S are not adjustable.

Jeff Greenfield oh really? I rely on that quite a lot

Rich Harrison unfortunately just rubber feet with glue. I was expecting them to be like the original photon, but was disappointed. Had to build a shelf to put it on and leveled the shelf.

yeah just checked, no adjustable legs but it's not a big deal.

Mi Ha might not be the problem anyway. Hope you figure it out!

I actually just added 2 tiny supports at the spot where it broke before and so far (80% done) it looks perfect.

Mi Ha ah nice. However, this shouldn't be necessary with the test cube so just keep the problem in mind for further print fails. Happy printing!!

indeed! I think I might revisit this (without supports) when it gets a little warmer and/or I change the resin.

is that the coloured-clear one? I thought lithophanes kind of rely on the resin being opaque because the light is based on the thickness of the print. If you can see through all of it anyway the effect is gonna be less

Robert Murdock yeah it is pretty transparent but i think the example photo used something similiar. I know with some of the other thinish stuff i have printed in green the detail shows well under light

Robert Murdock the person used solutech aqua blue assuming that comes out opaque

Cool gas cylinder!

Looks like the propeller base for an airship I printed

Never seen one without scratches and some rust before!

Jeff Greenfield not finished just first coat of green

Looks like you need to clean and grease your z screw

Sal Jusufovic the banding?

Yes

That painting is tight looks great!

can I get a link?

Best comic series ever. Those keys look great.

Connor DjGlargum Whitesell just go on those sites and type key... there are tons of them different styles and shows, games, movies.. try thingiverse, myminifactory, and cult3d

The key blade looks so out of place here..

Awesome painting ?

Steven Geis Amazing series. The Netflix adaptation wasn't the worst thing in the world either.

Hoghead hoffer what paint color did you use?

Hoghead Hoffer there is nothing from Locke & Key on Thingiverse. They were pulled for copyright issues.

I’ve been looking for these for a while. I’ll try mini and cult

Glad I got them from thingiverse before they disappeared lol

I'm really upset that I missed these.

What is the brand of the paint?

Hoghead Hoffer check your pm’s sir

Oh God I want those Keys. ..

Would you be willing to share the links

I haven't watched it yet but it's on my list.

Connor DjGlargum Whitesell I feel if I did ppl would try to sell them the person who I go them from said they don’t want ppl taking them and selling them like some already are he says he’s seen two of his files

Gerrett Humbarger I understand I can promise I won't be selling them it would actually make a great gift for my niece who's obsessed with the show

Gerrett Humbarger I'd even be willing to do a STL trade

Connor DjGlargum Whitesell I need the hour glass one I keep seeing

Gerrett Humbarger If you want to send me message maybe we can work something out

Jarrod Richards just type key.. if you add locke its hard to find

Pika Chubaka rub and buff paint wax

Gerrett Humbarger please send me the stls to sgthoffer@gmail.com so I can have the full set

Quol-Amin Impcasor rub and buff wax

Hoghead Hoffer there is nothing. It was removed with copyright claims.

If you care to link to prove me wrong, you are welcome to try.

Jarrod Richards https://www.myminifactory.com/....../3d-print-locke...... pretty easy to find if you type key like I said.

Hoghead Hoffer that’s not on thingiverse....

Jarrod Richards https://www.myminifactory.com/....../3d-print-locke......

Hoghead Hoffer thats also not thingiverse

Jarrod Richards be thankful, and also I said the other two sites as well.

Hoghead Hoffer I still don’t see a Thingiverse link

Kimberly Jacob https://www.myminifactory.com/....../3d-print-locke......

Kris Wainwright https://www.myminifactory.com/....../3d-print-locke......

Katarina Dz https://www.myminifactory.com/....../3d-print-locke......

Looks like someone cares more about appearing to be right than actually reading and understanding. I have no idea how people can’t just read and acknowledge something rather than trying to find an argument in everything.

Jarrod Richards jesus man.. not all of those keys came from there. i said they came from three different sites. are you slow?

Hoghead Hoffer I knew you were an asshole when you decided to be a douche and say “find it yourself because I’m too lazy to help someone else”

Hoghead Hoffer I don’t know man, maybe I am. Have you looked at my display picture? There’s clearly a sign that says “I’m with stupid”

You can come up with something better than that. Where’s the real fire?

Jarrod Richards obviously. I never said the keys were on thingiverse. I said some keys were and to try all three sites. reread are comments instead of being a keyboard warrior douche. Read the intial post, thingiverse was not even mentioned.

Hoghead Hoffer I’m still waiting for the real insults?

your parents must have really been upset about your dads lack of a pullout game to name you hoghead huffer.. like holy shit that’s mean. And you’ve gone your whole life and haven’t changed it? You must really be a glutton for punishment

How do you even huff hog heads?

Jarrod Richards so immature. how is this productive

Is it like... to get high? Because that’s weird

Connor DjGlargum Whitesell exactly

Hoghead Hoffer lol thanks, but this is what I meant

Kris Wainwright that doesnt show in my pm? maybe because we are not friends? the one that doesnt open on thingiverse is the correct one. instead of clicking the top right download, the links are actually toward the bottom. you will find this with alot of multipart files on thingiverse. hope that helps

Kris Wainwright https://www.myminifactory.com/....../3d-print-hogwarts...... here is another one if u cant get thingi to open

Kris Wainwright https://thingiverse.com/thing:2740289

Hoghead Hoffer thank you!! Yea I think my PM is probably in your spam or message requests area

Kris Wainwright how do u find that?

Hoghead Hoffer in messenger where you see all your chats, click you profile picture in the top left, and you should see a section that says ‘message requests’.

Kris Wainwright I dont have that when I do that. weird

So dope. I love that show

two more this morning

What color are you using?

Philipp Christoph rub and buff , a mixture of the 10 colors they sell

Hoghead Hoffer Thank you! It looks like it is real part of metal

Love pistonhead!

I love all of those!

Shane McAlister sparkplug for his cigar.. classic

Hoghead Hoffer I know, thats cool as hell!

What resin is this?

Howd you get it to look so good what are you using?

I love Locke and key ? only missing a few files it sucks they was pulled

Gerrett Humbarger I’ve found 3 of the key files... but can’t find any more. Some are floating around as paid STL files

Jarrod Richards I’ve seen. I got these from someone on thingiverse and msgd them but no response they had others. I keep having ppl begging me for these files of what I have lol

Gerrett Humbarger I don’t doubt it.. printing essentials now lol.

I’ll keep looking, maybe someone will upload them and I will see them before they get taken down. It’s better than bothering someone begging for files.

Jarrod Richards I have ppl who want to pay but don’t wanna sell someone else’s work lol

Jarrod Richards i have all the keys that were on Thingiverse. I cant upload them but DM me and we’ll see what we can arrange. All 14 keys. Total of 94mb in size for the zip file.

Gerrett Humbarger that’s legit though. I’d be pretty upset if I put the effort into making something and someone else used it to profit

Right

I just want this hour glass key I saw

Conan Lloyd pm you

Is this the Anywhere Key?

Those Locke and key keys look freaking phenomenal.

Happens all the time for me with chitu. I have to move the model a bit and reslice sometimes.

Interesting. Cheers.

Peppers Magee I haven’t found a way to avoid it

Try meshmixer for hollowing. The quality of the inside walls is so much better that you will regret using chitu for hollowing.

Dan Andersson I just tried yesterday this exact thing and you are totally right!

Cool! Will try.
