Thankyou, although I might have to warn you, the next video is very high effort, so maybe stay clear of that one. Ps. Being human is the one thing I can do 😂
I’m late but just to footstomp leaving resin. Mine sat in the reservoir for over a year and was completely fine. Stir it up really well for about 10-15 minutes and it’ll print just fine. No need to waste money or make a mess :) Also, get a respirator. Those fumes are gnarly
Agreed or tho I will say I have a few comments claim that leaving the resin in has destroyed things, so potentially some brands could do this although I've never come across one
I've been having a problem with my 3d printer where it keeps pushing the plate down like at the beginning of the video 0:00 to 0:13 any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks man. Live streams have been a bit up in the air at the moment, but soon I will be in a new house with a new studio so we'll actually get proper live streams with a good setup
Temperature was my Bugbear. The first prints on my Saturn 2 were great - and done during Summer. Autumn came and so did failures. Gave up in winter. Tried to find out what the issue was... but no luck - the tempoerature isssue never got any mentions. Then about 5 weeks ago I saw a U-tube video on heating Resin for printing. Eureka! So I sold my Saturn 2 and bought a Saturn 4 Ultra and a Heater. Printer arrived yesterday, and heater to follow in a couple of weeks. (Printer bought locally. Heater is an import. I may find a Brewers Band if the air heater is not up to it.
I think providing it's continuous and uniform say you put it in an enclosure that's obviously safe and not going to set itself on fire but also insulates it to keep the temperature the same. You should be fine. I just find the heated belt worked well for me. Now I own a gk2 which comes with its own built-in heater which makes a big difference
I have not had this problem. Some people have reported certain resin types will separate and not function properly. I've heard all sorts but for me I just leave it at whatever temperature the outside is generally speaking. I always protect my printers from going below 0° but that's about it. Generally speaking the temperature I tend to aim for is 35°, but I'm lucky and have a gk2 which has a built-in heating system
For ages I just covered my vat with a piece or cardboard I cut out to size. I eventually modled and printed a cover on one of my FDM printers when the cardboard started to look a bit tatty. It served me perfectly well and I almost never poured off or cleaned my vat. Your FEP sheets last so much longer the less you interfere with them.
Do someone know ehre can i buy teh screen he almost break with a harmer? mine is broken dont ask how and now i need a new one and the plastic protector that goes under were you put the resin, and now i dont know how is that called to look for in amazon do someone know?
Tip 1 is the first thing I learned on my own lol. At first I was doing it because I sorely underestimated the stink resin has, and I was trying to clear the smell out, so i kept emptying the vat and cleaning it. Now I have a fume hood that the printer permanently lives in, so I stopped doing that.
That is a jay cloth you're using, and it's abrasive like fuck, it has small bits of plastic fibre through it for enforcement, and it's going to scratch your FEP ..... it's not even that absorbant
Alot of people have commented that you want to move slightly on resin printers as well, however I can safely safe I also have it so the paper doesn't move
Really great video, I print all the time but try to watch videos like this from time to time just to review the basics. Had never thought about not needing IPA to clean the fep sheet! That is going to save me a lot of IPA!
I’m not understanding the leveling part. Don’t you have to level the plate after removing it to take off prints? The last time I put it back without leveling it made the machine vibrate
