@StumblingBumblingIdiot 3 года назад

Great video as i always wondered about this but my main thought was towards FDM printing and resin. To me it doesn't seem like a lot of mini's for a whole bottle of resin, especially if they are hollowed. I would love to see a resin to FDM comparison for 1kg of each and printing the same things! Of course fdm is not nearly as good for minis and such but some of the bigger busts would be a great comparison! Seems even more expensive to print in resin than I first thought :(

@tonykyle2655 3 года назад

This is an apple to oranges. To really know which printer is more efficient you would need to print the same items between the 2 printers. Wonderful prints, but we cannot make any decisions based on this.

@swc2001 3 года назад

I believe you have a good thought, but there would be almost no difference. Actually a test like you suggested would probably make the Saturn look bad. The amount of Resin in the bottom of the vat would be a thinner height for the same amount of Resin between the two machines. Really there is no way to have an apples to apples fight between different weight classes of machines. It's the same thing if you were putting the Saturn vs. the Phenom. A good thought for sure, but just trying to tap your rudder a little bit to see why what he did was pretty perfect. Just my .02

@charlesballard5251 3 года назад

I believe he was just checking to see how much you could print with a bottle of resin. He was not rating the printers themselves.

@Alientcp 2 года назад

Same result over all. The test was to see how much you could print with a bottle with minis and how much you could print with larger figures so you could plan ahead on your own projects and have an estimate on how much resin you need to complete it. It wasnt a performance benchmark between printers.

@philk6906 Год назад

These results totally makes sense. If you think about surface area, the smaller items have a lot more surface area by volume than the larger items. It's more area for uncured resin to stick to and be washed away. plus if you look at the supports, and the fail print opportunity... I don't know if it's about the machine, If we weighed the left over resin from the minis it would have been better analysis. For large prints though, you got 72% out of the bottle onto your prints. That's pretty impressive. 39% for the minis is a bit of an eye opener, but there is no getting past physics and fluid mechanics. That's a big loss, but if you are at $36.00 bottle that is still about $1.00 per mini.

Uncle Jessy, Great video as always and a nice way to give beginners an idea of resin supply usage. Questions about the water wash resins. I've seen a lot of people commenting that we resin prints tend to crack and split apart after a period of time and disuade people from using them. Have you encountered this any? Thanks for all your great videos!

@VoicelessScream 3 года назад

I know the question was directed to Uncle Jessy but just as an FYI, I've strictly used Water Washable resin since I've started a few months ago and I've gone through 8L worth without a single miniature cracking - plenty of larger one that were hollowed as well. Can't speak for mechanical prints but resin isn't great for that use. I try to dry them off before I cure them but I am not exactly very diligent about it.

Definitely a question I've wondered about as I'm in the process of switching over to resin. Saturn printers have been nearly impossible to secure at asking price as it seems nefarious parties are snagging them on Amazon and selling almost double what Elegoo does, so I ended up snagging a Uniz printer on their kickstarter and am watching as many resin printer vids to stock up on knowledge til it gets here. I mostly do prototype models and some figures for myself and am soooo looking forward to the beauty of those 4k res prints and no more layer lines!

@hc-nj3ve 3 года назад

Honestly, it's more complicated than that though. I wanted the Saturn at first but then I saw the ridiculous pixel density results of the Sonic Mini 4K and switched to that. Nothing sub $2k can compete with the detail if you're willing to give up some build space.

@DukePipeGG 2 года назад

Hey dude, you seem to have a lot of expertise printing resin figures. As of now, I'm stuck with a project that I don't want it to fail in the long term, I had a bad experience with a figure that melted and found how others have gone through the same and even worse, figures that crack and even explode. Some say this is all because of bad curing of the resin inside the hollow area, but my question is, can printing fully solid avoid this issue? And if you let me I would like to ask, can curing only by using sunlight be as tough as curing using UV light?

@GrimSleepy 2 года назад

So far I've used the very rigid elegoo resins; I was having fails at 30-45s bottom exposures with 6s layer exposure. I boosted that (at the sacrifice of much longer print times) up to 60s bottom layer 8s layer exposure times. Haven't yet had a failed print on the increased times, though I'm planning experimenting with incrementally dropping the exposure times. Just ordered some Siraya flexible resin to lower the rigidity of my models, which I assume will radically change my results if I don't modify them.

@cardsfanboy 2 года назад

I have not printed anything yet, just bought a Photon S as part of Anycubic's black Friday sale, going by their website, one bottle of resin starts at $23, if you are getting 30+ miniatures out of one bottle, that leaves material cost at about $.75 per figure, definitely not the price I thought it was going to be (I was thinking closer to $1.50 or more) I love the idea of those busts though, didn't think of doing something like that until I saw it in a video, and now I think that might end up being a go to item. But I'm glad to see the cost isn't nearly as high as I thought it would be.

@DarkMiss 3 года назад

Vroom settings are really bad for your lcd screen because the long exposure times will cause burn spots/damage way faster and your screen wont last. Also, i can print around 12 +bases 75mm models for every 500ml of water washable resin. I did some terrain and got 10 pieces of a castle for 1l of resin. So it depends on if you are doing big or small minis and base for them all or terrain, or hollowing them out. I only hollow big models because its too much of a pain to get the resin out and cure properly on the 32mm ones.

@Stewie_1701 3 года назад

Hi Taylor. I purchased an Ender 5 Plus almost at year ago now and love it. I make mostly props and wanted a printer size large enough to print helmets in one piece. And it does a fantastic job with that. Smaller things however has been an up hill battle. I'm actually looking at getting a resin printer now to use along with the Plus to get the small detailed prints that I just can't get with the Plus. I suggest determining what you're going to be printing the most and go from there. Smaller printers can make larger prints tho in parts AND small prints like miniatures where larger printers can make large prints in one go but can struggle with small prints. Hope this somewhat helps.

@andrewstambaugh240 3 года назад

Confirms my suspicion: most people are very over optimistic when estimating their cost per mini. I commonly see 25-50 cents per warhammer/25mm mini. But if 1kg costs say $30 and prints 30minis, $30/30minis = $1/mini That's ignoring other costs like cleaning supplies and fep etc. Having watched a bunch of drop and damage comparisons for minis, I'm looking at Siraya tech resins, because even their fast resins are stronger than most resins on the market, and their tenacious mixed into another resin makes minis that are throw-it-in-the-box, knock-it-off-the-table, and "travel safe" The resin I'm looking at is a 80/20mix of siraya tech fast/tenacious. If you look at the cost averaged out over time, rather than the 1st time purchase: (0.8kg x $37/kg + 0.2kg x $65/kg)/(0.8kg + 0.2kg)= $43.40/1kg or ~ $1.45/mini Obviously the scale/size, thickness, hollow or not, support-less or not, etc all make a big difference in how much resin is used, but I'm still thinking it's double to triple most estimates i see. Can anyone recommend a good resin under $30/1kg with comparable detail and toughness to Siraya tech fast? aka would survive repeated falling off the table tests and still print high detail? I'm definitely open to looking at cheaper options for terrain and such.

Hey Uncle Jessy, Would the original mars printer be able to fit the dark saber files without cutting/slicing them?

@UncleJessy 3 года назад

No, at 85% scale you'd need to cut the handle piece down a little further. It is just slightly too large for the original mars build volume. You could easily print in 2 pieces and weld together.... oh now there is a video idea ;)

@swc2001 3 года назад

@@UncleJessy oooooh yes indeed sir! Great video idea!! I have the Peopoly Phenom and would love to see how you weld two halves of a helmet together. Also how do you split the STL file to print in two halves. I am a Design Engineer, so I have SolidWorks, but I can't get the STL's to split. Does Chitubox have the ability to split them? I'm still relatively new to the 3D printing game. Mostly using for engineering prototypes. Love your videos sir!! Thanks for what you do!!!! ☺️

@@swc2001 I'm new to resin but can tell you all about the various slicers for STLs destined for FDM use. I use a few for various features and will probably continue to do so as I move to resin. To answer your question, the first program I would use is ideaMaker's slicer which has precisely a model slice function where you can use a plane to dissect your model into however many pieces you want and it automatically creates a cap. On the flip side if you'd rather not fiddle with importing and exporting into several programs, you can simply move your file in program on its side to the build platform where you want the split and it will only process the exposed half above that. I'm just getting into Chitubox and Lychee slicers so there may be a function that does the same, I just don't know it yet. Some free slicers I use regularly if you want to fiddle with them: ideamaker has arguably the best repair function (my primary use in that one apart from the dissection feature), Cura, meshmixer, the old version of Netfab pre-autodesk acquisition (search around, there's a download link for this, though I believe it will try to update you to autodesk from time to time, I cancel out of its attempts), meshlab is good also for fixing topology when converting things from like obj to stl, and while it isn't super useful for stl's, LilithUnwrap for fixing or assigning UVs if you really want a simple application without going through a traditional modeler.

@@C-M-E well I'll definitely have to look into some of that. Thanks so much for the info. I have.... How shall I say,....been Less than successful with FDM Filiment printers. 1st I was given a Longer Filiment printer..... My prints would get about half way done, and then become a bird nest. Then the temps kept going up and down. They would never stay consistent. So after that I bought a Mingda Rock 3. I tried and tried to get that thing leveled. I never even got past the raft on any model with that printer. It would randomly freeze on the UI and had other glitches too. So I called Matterhackers, (I bought the Phenom from them), and they recommended I buy the Ender 5 Plus. It has autobed leveling and he said it was a very solid machine. So I am going to be getting one of those when it gets back in stock. I will never buy another 3D printer off of Amazon again. From here on out it's Matterhackers only. Their customer service is 2nd to none. I really have no idea why I went on this long tangent.... But here we are. Lol Thanks again for the info. I probably need to find some 3D printing forums. If you know of any, please do tell kind sir.

@C-M-E 3 года назад

@@swc2001 I hear you on the foibles of Amazon; I just get supplies like filaments or parts I can whip together myself, though matterhackers as you've experience is definitely top notch. My first printer I got was a big delta style as I was doing 180mm compressor wheels and custom parts larger than most printer beds would fit. They are an interesting design but as equally troubling in maintenance as some of the parts the devices they were going to replace. I still have it but it's been up and down since doing a 13 hour print that the print head decided to break off the bed at hour 11 and subsequently the printer continued to unspool the entirety of its capacity all over the flippin place, which ended in a broken printhead to boot (up 'til then, aside from getting it set up and fine tuned, was fantastic). This all happened shortly after covid started affecting supply lines so it took a good 4 months to get repair parts and it's still being very finicky, hence my move to resin. I'm perfectly okay with dealing with funky chems as I do composite work too. Everything I've learned has been either self-taught through the tribulations of T&E or I'll get a glimpse on youtube and apply it to my project, so unfortunately I can't point you towards a forum. Such is the downside of freelancing. What usually happens if I can't figure it out myself, a detailed web search will eventually lead to a similar enough solution that I can get the rest figured out.

Can I print in the Eleego Saturn with Anycubic resine??

@stuff3862 3 года назад

Did the math for anyone who was trying to figure out costs since he didn't even bother to try. A 32 dollar bottle of 1000L resin is .03 cents per 1ml. 1ml = 1 gram (its actually a little bit more like 1000ml of resin = 1074g but the extra is somewhat negligible so i just might be off by only a few cents on my calculations) the minis weigh 386 grams so it costs 11.60 usd to print everything on the first tray (without the trays weight, thanks so much for adding the weight of the tray for some reason), so roughly 1 mini will cost .39 cents without supports. With the supports calculated in it costs about 17.85 usd and a single mini costs .50 cents, not bad at all! What I dont understand is how he ended up with 3.3lbs of resin printing when a single 1000ml bottle should be about 2.4 pounds? EDIT: He used two bottles that makes more sense but he should have had around 4.8 pounds of material I guess the wash and cure process?
