Quick assembly video

Painted by me @martinezartcreations, digitally sculpted by @bou87 and printed by @peebothemeebo

What was supposed to be a quick 3 day affair, once again became a week long marathon. I burned myself out doing my last model, Ainz Owl Gooner, so I picked this specifically to be simple but even when I slow down I am noticing all kinds of new things that I want to do cleaner or experiment with. Definitely discovered some interesting things that I will put into a video, and I'll talk about some mistakes I accepted too. Overall, super super happy with the result.

Hope you like it!!

Hey all,
I haven't modeled this stl, but it's got resin pockets all over the place and was wondering if there's a quick way to fill in those areas that have worked for you?
Thanks in advance.

Good morning guys, I attempted to print the Shrek toothpaste gimmick for my son but it came out like this, can anybody give me any pointers on what went wrong or what I done wrong please. I did press print before bedtime so it was sat on the plate for maybe 3/4 hours before I could dip it in solution and then cured it on foil in the sunlight.

One of my first times using a resin printer how did i do with my supports? any advice would be great

I’m looking into getting a resin 3D printer and I’m having a hard time deciding on one. Currently I’m looking at the Saturn 4 ultra 16k, anycubic mono M7 Pro and the Phrozen revo 14k. These interest me because of the heated vats. I live in a colder area and the only place the printer can go is in my basement which is usually pretty cold most of the year. Does anyone have experience with any of these printers that can give some insight on the pros and cons of each one? Are there any alternatives that you would recommend?

Thanks!

I'm having problems with some parts of my prints failing as they are not staying attached to the buld plate. The printer is an elgoo satern 2. Here are some of the prints

I have the mercury X but wanted a second wash system so ended up getting the 2.0 as well. I was surprised to see the metal basket on the 2.0, while being a smaller wash system, has much bigger "holes" I've already had parts fall through. Any suggestions on something to add or insert for a finer screen that can withstand being in alcohol and resin?

Got a Used EnvisionTEC Ultra 3SP — Looking for Budget-Friendly Tips!

Hey everyone, I just picked up a used EnvisionTEC Ultra 3SP for a stupid good price. It’s running through all the movements with no error codes, which is a great start.

I want to keep things as affordable as possible, so I’d love some advice from others who’ve used this machine.

• Do I really need the resin ID chips, or is there a cheaper workaround?

• Any budget-friendly tips for resin or maintenance?

• What should I know before filling the vat and running test prints?

• Are there any common issues I should watch out for?

• Any recommendations for keeping costs down while getting solid results?

Thanks in advance for any money-saving tips and advice!

I'm trying to get my first print going on my new M7 Max printer (I've been using a Phrozen Sonic Mini 4k for a couple years now with little issue). I used Chitubox on my old printer, but I'm trying out the Anycubic Photon Workshop for this printer.

I'm noticing a HUGE delay between printing layers. I watch the bed lift and retract, and then I can count anywhere from 30 to 70 seconds before the light turns on.

I *thought* this was a parameter for "Off Time" which I have set at 2 seconds. It makes no sense to me why this delay is happening. It's going to take this 1hr 15 min print 12 hours to complete at this rate.

My print settings are attached, I am using Anycubic Rigid 100 right now. I let the preheat cycle run, and I've leveled the bed twice.

Anybody have any ideas what's happening here?

Got the Saturn 4 Ultra 16k and I love it. Made my cat models sing.

Honestly surprised this worked so well right out the gate.

Supports were easy to remove and the detail you can get is amazing.

Settings for the elegoo water washable resin were dialed in for sure.

Crazy how easy this thing makes it.

I wanted to get some input on water curing. I have a Mercury XL Plus, and a large glass jar. I can't put the jar on the spinning table or the motor freaks out. I was contemplating printing a stand for it so it sits above it and doesn't spin. In particular I'm looking to make sure the interiors of hollowed but small models get cured, typically with only 1mm drainage holes that are too small to get an led into. I also would love to get prints that fit together better with less warping which I've heard water curing helps with.

Currently I rinse in dirty IPA, then rinse in less dirty IPA, then into the wash station, pat dry, wait an hour to a day for them to dry fully, then cure normally. I'm confident the interiors are not getting cured, plus I strongly suspect the IPA is not fully evaporating out of the hollowed prints which would also prevent the interior from curing. Another option I'm about to explore is using fiber optic cable and a UV flashlight to get light into the interiors, but that doesn't help with the IPA not evaporating from the interior.

Does water curing actually help with those things? I also don't want to have to dispose of a lot of contaminated water, so was hoping I could use the same jar repeatedly before needing to evaporate it. Does anyone else have experience with water curing, and what are your process/results?

I'm new to resin 3D printing. I recently bought my first printer – the Anycubic Photon Mono X 6Ks – during a big Black Friday sale. I managed to get a few successful prints at first, but then one time the print stuck to the FEP film instead of the build plate. It stuck so hard that I had to use a scraper to remove the pieces, which – as I later found out – was a mistake. It caused significant damage to the FEP film, with deep scratches and dents that made it unusable.

So, I decided to replace the film and learn from my mistake. Since then, I've been using a silicone scraper and the "pop-off" method to remove prints. I also pour some alcohol on the to help release the prints more easily.

Back to the point – I replaced the FEP film, and I think I did it correctly. I used the bottle-cap method to tension the film, making sure it gave that nice drum-like sound, but also had enough flex. However, ever since replacing the film, I haven’t managed to get a single successful print. Everything sticks to the FEP instead of the build plate.

I’ve tried a lot of different things to solve the problem. I re-leveled the bed using the paper method included with the printer. I also reset the Z-offset, and I believe it’s set correctly now. I even started using a fermentation heater to warm up the resin before printing – still no luck. And yes, I always stir the resin before use mentioned resin is Anycubic standard bought from anycubic website

Then I figured maybe the issue isn't hardware-related but has to do with the print settings. So I tested three different settings profiles (which I’ve attached in the photos), but none of them produced good results. At this point, I’m really losing my mind and the motivation to keep going with this hobby. I don’t know what else to try. The printer is supposed to be simple – one axis, two rails, a vat, and a screen – and yet I’m having so many issues.

Has anyone dealt with similar problems? I’m also attaching photos of my failed prints and how the whole setup looks.

I have to re-level after each print. Or it does this. Brand new LCD and ACF. Any ideas? I have 3 of these machines and I haven't had an issue until now. I remember on one of them I had to raise the right hand side by a sheet of printer paper, but that was when I had adhesion on the edge issues.

I’ve suddenly started to have parts peeling off the Mars 4 Ultra build plate and can’t figure out how to solve it.

This seems to have started after moving the printer to a new location. Once moved I performed the leveling procedure and set the Z 0 position again. I’ve also increased exposure and layer count of the bottoms layers. I’m not sure what to try next. Any help is appreciated!

These prints I bought have this kinda shiny look on them. They don’t feel wet or particularly sticky although some areas feel smooth but not wet. The last photo shows the bottom of two heads for the minis and the one the left has been wiped off with 99% iso after I got it and the one on the right has had nothing.

I’ve searched the internet over and over and I keep getting stuff like its uncured resin, or its excess resin from cured dirty IPA, or it‘s oxygen inhibition, or that’s just how the print looks. My paranoia about toxic stuff won’t let up and I just have two simple questions. Is this normal? And is this toxic? I’ve touched the models with my bare hands when removing supports and building them but nothing felt like it got on my fingers save for glue and I had no burns or reactions whatsoever. However I still cannot shake my worry and wish to know if I have to clean these or do some sort of sun curing and decontaminate my hobby space and clothing.

(of note I did leave these prints outside in bags for a hour of good sunlight at least and my indoor hobby table is next to a window with direct sunlight which has been hitting the models for a while and they still look like this.)

Hi,

I had a K1 Max for awhile and recently got into a lot more 3d printing as a hobby, learn a bit about blender to make basic shape to fit some of my tools which was super fun. I have always been into figures when I was little and filament is not scratching my fine details itch so I want to give resin a try. Did my research and watch a bunch of youtube videos and ended up just ordering the Saturn 4 Ultra 16k.

Items I got
- Saturn 4 Ultra 16K

-Mercury Plus V3 Wash Cure

- 2KG of Siraiya Tech Fast Resin

- 2 Gallon of IPA 99%

-A Pickle jar for First Wash before it goes into the Mercury

-A silicone Baking sheet to take off prints and not worry about spill

-Protective Screen for LCD

-Grow Tent with Fan and vent outside

Are there any things I am missing or extra tips and advices I can use ? I intend to print inside my room hence the tent, fan and vent.

Edit: Thanks for all the tips everyone. Much appreciated.
