Find the Perfect Exposure for Resin 3D Printing With UVTools!
In this video, I'll show you how to find the perfect resin exposure using an amazing program called UVTools!
In the past trying to find the best exposure settings for any resin on your 3D printer was a long and frustrating process. You needed to print multiple resin Validation Matrix tests one after another and then compare the results.
Now with the Exposure Time Finder function in UVTools, you can find the perfect resin exposure setting for almost any resin in about 90 minutes!
Use the link below to download UVTools and follow along with the video to create an Exposure Time Finder for your printer!
I want to thank Tiago Conceição for creating and constantly updating UVTools with so many great features.
I'd also like to thank Khalil Nurullah and Vinicius Silva for helping me learn how to use UVTools so that I could make the best tutorial video for this feature.

*Attention*
If you don't see the "Multiple Exposures." window when using the Exposure Time Finder function.
Please slice a new file for your model of printer using Chitubox. Then use that file to begin this process.
There have been some issues with older pre-sliced tests and some files sliced with Lychee .
General guideline for creating your test
Layer Height:
I print at 0.05 because I get great detail with a shorter print time than with thinner layer heights.
Remember that smaller layers = more layers which = longer print time.
Same for both Mono and RGB screen printers.
Bottom Layer count:
I recommend 4 bottom layers on most prints, but I do use 5 on larger prints.
Same for both Mono and RGB screen printers.
Bottom Layer Exposure time:
For Mono screen printers I use 20s - 30s.
For RGB screen printers I use 45s - 55s.
Positive Pins and Negative Holes:
This setting can be used on both mono and RGB screen printers.
Custom Text:
This setting can be used on both mono and RGB screen printers.
Normal Step Increments:
For Mono screen printers use increments of 0.25s, 0.5s, or 0.75s.
For RGB screen printers use increments of 0.5s, 1s, or 1.5s.
Number of Generations:
I've found that 4 to 6 gives a good range of tests.
Same for both Mono and RGB screen printers.

@daxliniere 2 года назад

I believe Elegoo Mars 2 Pro (for example), does not support multiple exposures, at least that was the case before they released ChituBox 1.9.0 which required a firmware update for all CTB-based printers. Perhaps the latest firmware for CTB printers supports this now? (I believe that this firmware blocks you from using any slicer other than ChituBox 1.9.0 free or paid.)

@@SlicePrintRoleplayso a quick question…when I ‘test’ to see if my Mars 4 Ultra is compatible it exposes the bottom layer, lifts and retracts, exposes the first block, then lifts and retracts, then exposes the second, third and fourth blocks before lifting and retracting again.. I think since it’s lifting and retracting between the first and second block that I’m going to have issues. Planning to check the documentation to see if my printer is on the list…if that extra lift/retract wasn’t in there I think it would work. I just don’t know if I can trust it, yet.

@SlicePrintRoleplay 5 месяцев назад

@@forrestegan hmm I agree that sounds odd. However, the only thing that matters (for the test at least) is that each block is exposed for a slightly longer time than the one before it. As long as that's happening (even if it's lifting at odd times) then the test is likely working correctly.

Absolutely wonderful video. Had great success with the Anycubic Eco on my Saturn at 2s but out of personal curiosity wanted a side-by-side snapshot of multiple exposures to be sure I'm printing optimally. My first test was 2-3s with 0.2s jumps at 0.03 layer height, with the results I am more than satisfied with my 2s exposure and could, possibly, push it even lower. Thank you for another great video.

@Suicidekings_ 5 месяцев назад

As someone who's a big FDM user, it's always bothered me that I couldnt do something like this to narrow in your exposure times. I've been on OrcaSlicer for awhile, and the ability to calibrate different aspects in one go is huge(temp towers, flow rate tests, pressure advance, print speed max). Even back in 2015 when I got my first Anet A8, these kinds of things were available. The fact that slicers don't come with this prebuilt is wild. Thank you for this, I've been having hell dialing in some plant based resin, and running multiple cubes in this same fashion would take a whole day for only slight success.

Test files prior to ctb v3 will not work with this. You need at least ctb v3 file. Rooks at saturn are ctb v2. That's why your recent sliced file worked and rook don't. Most of the times UVtools hides things that are not supported by the file format.

Hey Slice Print Roleplay, should I concern myself with the testing? Because what I typically do is get the resin settings by model from the resin manufacturer and they have worked out pretty good for me with no issues. Well except me screwing up the casual supports here and there. LOL.

@SlicePrintRoleplay Год назад

So the answer to that 100% depends on you. If you're happy with the results you're seeing then that's all that matters. I will never be so "Elite" as to say that you have to calibrate your settings. However, if you're having failures, your models are lacking details, or you're just curious then calibrating your exposure time is a great diagnostic step.

Or just print the remainder of the print. and I could simply apply a touch of resin and the cure the two pieces in to one piece? Also, there are supports and the model is tilted.

@SlicePrintRoleplay Год назад

Ugh that's such a bummer! Unfortunately, I don't know of an easy way to restart a print that's stopped like what you're seeing. Like you mentioned, your best bet is to measure and print what's missing. Also, I'd consider using a different flash drive. It's possible your drive is going bad and that's what caused the issue.

HEY SPR, Allow me to begin by saying that I love your videos and have just about gone through and watched every video you've put out for Resin and most of the FFM vids, and I have a very serious question. Would you "PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do an Updated video about setting up multiple test prints with various Exposure Times in the New/Updated Version of UVTools. I had used UVTools many times now to dial in multiple resins I've been purchasing but with the new updates I am just so lost... I'm sure I can't be the only person in the world with these issues, and there's no other videos on RU-vid that have acknowledged this. Not to mention that I get the most out of YOUR tutorial videos. The way you set up the videos and explain everything with images/videos/clips/etc. just work for me and obviously many others. If you would be willing to do an Update to UVTools, the community would be very appreciative. Thank you in advance, now let's go print something! **EDIT** I have been resin printing on my Elegoo Saturn 8K, and the multiple exposure capability has worked up until UVTools had this recent update.

@SlicePrintRoleplay Год назад

I really appreciate the kind words and encouragement, thank you! I'm really glad that my teaching style seems to be so easy for people to pick up on. I didn't realize the process had changed recently. Thank you for bringing that to my attention. I'll try to take a look soon and see if I can do an update video.

Hi in the new version of UV Tools there is only multiple brightness test

@SlicePrintRoleplay 4 месяца назад

What printer are you using?

@aespid 5 месяцев назад

Quick question, The exposure section seem to have changed and I can only control the brightness. I am setting it up for an Anycubic Mono M5S. Is that why the interface is different? I tried to slice a model using 3 different slicers (Anycubic slicer, Chitubox and Lychee)

We are against not permitted user data encryption, locks, constrains, restrictions, monopolization and non-sense policies that prevents others from create and lead-forward solutions around technology. Full supporting this file format would be step-back for 3D technology and the community overall.

I really appreciate the positive feedback on my video! I'm sorry I know that's frustrating. However, the creator of UVTools feels very strongly about the way some companies are now encrypting their hardware. I fully support the creator's right to not integrate the encrypted file type. But I do hope (one way or another) the situation gets resolved and it's integrated in the near future.

Unfortunately it seems surface tension for this tester seems too much for the Photon Mono. So far only ended up with a handful of failed prints of the resin just adhering to the FEP rather than the bed after the bottomlayers were done. Which meant a lot of cleanup trying to cleanly remove the cured resin from the FEP without damaging it...

I believe Anycubic printers require a different process than what I show in the video. If you check in the UVTools Facebook group there are posts explaining the process.

@SlicePrintRoleplay 2 года назад

I'm so glad to hear that the video helped you! I know another viewer asked this a few days ago. I had encouraged them to ask this question in the UVTools Facebook group. However, I just looked through the group and couldn't find their question. So I'd definitely recommend you join that group and ask about scaling the test there. They will have the best advice/input. As for how the tests are organized, I believe it just depends on build plate size. If the plate is pretty large then it will put them in a line like what you're seeing. However, on smaller build plates it will stack them to save space.

@SlicePrintRoleplay Год назад

Sorry for the delay, but I'm glad you got it figured out! However, for this process you can use any file. I just recommend using the pre-sliced test file that comes with your printer since it will have decent settings. But there's no reason you can't get your slicer configured for your printer, slice a file, then use that file in UVTools.

multi exposure test just wow ! this sounds amazing, I have to give this a try , that would be realyl amazing to print these tests all in one go, rather then keep swapping although, as you mentioned, you might get different results becasue the light / fep might not behave the same way on the edgees vs center I will be testing new exposure test, going with more thinner layer ( I have pretty good setup - I think - for 0,03 , but I want to try printing 0.02 now ) btw I wonder why you suggest to not cure these?

That's a great question! It's been a bit since I recorded this video so I'm not 100% sure if I coved that. In any case, you would read the results without curing. In my experience all exposure calibration tests should be read before/without curing.
