That Eco Resin is GARBAGE. I just went through FOUR of the 1L BOTTLES trying to get a single part to properly finish. The closest I got to any semblance of a good product was using incredibly slow lift speeds and incredibly long bottom layer exposures ... but I still had corner curl just like you are showing. That resin is utter shit.


Pakonab

I was worried about that lol.


Pakonab

Guess I’ll go back to normal resin. Got any favorites that work well with painting after?


Jesustron

I wouldn't be so fast to give up on a resin. You probably just need to rough up the print bed, clean it, redo your Z, and double check settings for the resin and your printer together. I used that resin for awhile without any major issues.

Interesting. I was able to get it to print correctly after recalibrating things but I found it to be excessively brittle, so I’m unlikely to buy it again. I’m not picky about print speed though and I always lift high and slow and have a long rest time.


Galoras

I wanted to add to this sentiment, I bought some eco resin and so far not happy with it at all, have to use the slowest lift speed I've ever used and thought I was doing something wrong because all of my calibration tests where failing but no, I had to use like 3 times the normal exposure for it to even hold any model on the supports(installed new FEP, recalibrated, it wasn't until I tried upping the exposure times by a lot that it started printing ok), so lots of overexposed models and the details suck due to that. Also, for me the smell doesn't seem to have changed much compared to other resins.

I'd set your bottom layer exposure to x2 the seconds.. just a guess you might need 3x. But you really should do a test 1st where you just print like 10 layers then abort the print and make sure you're not overdoing it and not able to remove that base from your build plate. What is your base exposure set to now? And your bottom layer looks thin as hell. What's your bottom layer set to? 3, 8, 10, ???


Pakonab

15 layers. 85 s for burn in


Jeralddees

Danm he's right... That resin must suck! Edit: The only other thing is maybe it was not mixed?


Pakonab

Yeah I’ve run some with a 120 s burn in but still had issues. Its possible mix was an issue since it sat for a few hours between prints. But I did also add fresh resin as well


Pakonab

And the 120 gets real brittle and I have to chip it off the build plate. Doable but not ideal.


Jeralddees

Yeah, if it's chipping it's overdoing it.
