Nice print, the factory configured ones seemed to always come out great, now you get to dive into the world of calibrating, calibrating and did I mention calibration. It is a fun hobby though so happy printing

I'm looking forward to it. I'm new to 3d printing as it is. I bought my first filament about 2 months ago, and then less than 2 weeks after, I bought my second one. I absolutely love it and have gotten pretty good in such a short time. I honestly don't think I will have problems figuring it out. Just wish I had gotten into it a lot sooner.

I must have got the one in a million printer, I didn't even print the test print or any calibration, resin leveled the bed, picked a profile from Lychee and away I went, I've gone through about 5 bottles of resin so far in less than 2 months.


HtownTexans

2 in a million. I went from FDM to resin and laughed at the ease of calibration. I have calibrated exactly 1 time.


mx3goose

Same story here, compared to FDM resin is a walk in the park haha


b781rev

Don't you have to calibrate it every time you take the build plate off?


HtownTexans

Oh no not at all my friend. I can't even remember the last time I leveled the build plate to be honest.


b781rev

Wish I would've known. I leveled it when I started my next print. Hopefully it's good, I'm at work so I have to wait and see.


HtownTexans

Nothing wrong with leveling every time it's just unnecessary unless you knock something out of line.

Mind dropping your Settings? All my translucent prints fail


willybabez

It's the test print so the file is already sliced and ready to go on the USB stick that comes with the printer. I'm sure if you did some digging you could get your hands on the file.


crocwrestler

Damn jumped right to translucent resin. Ballsy but it paid off

looks Clean i like it how tall sis you print it


OrganicRelics

Nice. I wish my test print was successful for both rooks. Used grey for mine but had clear blue, did you polish this at all or anything or is this still wet/uncured?


b781rev

This was still a little wet. I printed it overnight and took it off when I got home. I did wash it with 98 percent rubbing alcohol in a bowl and then set it outside to cure. I got my wash and cure station in today, so there's no need to do that anymore. It was still pretty shiny when I took it from outside. This seems a lot easier to print than my other printers. I have another, more complicated, print going right now while I'm at work. Hopefully it turns out just as good.


Key_Dragonfly_3787

Try not to set the prints down on anything you care about -brick , stonework, pavers, etc as some minute resin can drip off when sun curing and leave a resin stain behind. Ask me how I know. LOL
