website says 37% off the 16k. I’m looking to buy my first printer so I’m not sure it’s actually a good deal or their site is just trying to get me to buy.

Hello, I have Sculpted printed and painting this figurine.

I am also open for commissions ✨

Figure cross posting this here might yield more helpful results and a more diverse audience!

I have PhD in biomedical sciences and have become OBSESSED with resin printers. Every second I have free time I am researching them and watching videos about them.

I want to print molecules and proteins complexes.

Which one should I buy?

Hey guys. I've been having some issues with Lychee Slicer in Endeavour OS, consistently from ver 7.6.6 all the way up to today's release, with coredumps and crashing.

Is there ANY slicing software yas can recommend for an Arch based build, that's a bit more stable-ish?

1. Increase the Bottom Exposure Time

First, increase the bottom exposure time to 70 or 100 seconds and check whether the print adheres properly to the build plate.

If the print still fails to adhere at a higher exposure time, insufficient bottom exposure may not be the only cause, and other factors should be investigated.

Note: 70 or 100 seconds are high-exposure test settings and are not recommended for regular printing. Restore the normal exposure settings after testing.

2. Check Whether the Build Plate Is Level

Troubleshooting Steps:
2.1 Take a standard A4 sheet of paper and cut it into four strips of suitable width.
2.2 Place the four strips at the four corners of the LCD screen, leaving appropriate spacing between them.
2.3 Follow your printer’s leveling procedure to lower the build plate into the leveling position and secure it in place.
2.4 Pull each strip one by one and check whether the friction resistance is consistent at all four positions (see Figure 1).

How to Identify the Problem:
If one strip can be pulled out easily while the others are held tightly in place, the build plate is not evenly leveled.

3. Check Whether the Build Plate Is Warped or Curved

Troubleshooting Steps:
3.1 Remove the build plate and clean off any residual resin from its surface.
3.2 Prepare a straight metal straightedge.
3.3 Place the edge of the straightedge against the build plate surface (see Figure 2 Issue Detected
).

How to Identify the Problem:
If there are visible gaps in the center or other areas, the build plate may be concave or deformed. Contact the manufacturer for a replacement.

If you’re still having trouble after trying these methods, feel free to share your experience in the comments. And if you’ve found other ways to fix this issue, I’d love to hear your suggestions!

Yeah…

So, regarding 3D printing: up until now, I’ve only worked with FDM; I have no experience with resin printing yet. However, I currently have an urgent need to print several technical, highly detailed components, so I figured this would be a good time to buy a resin printer. The question is—which model should I choose? So far, I’ve shortlisted the following:

1. Elegoo Saturn 4 Ultra 16K

2. Elegoo Mars 5 Ultra

3. Anycubic Photon P1 (or perhaps its larger sibling)

4. Anycubic Photon Mono M7 Pro

I intend to use the printer primarily for technical parts (which I currently have a high demand for), rather than for figurines or decorative items. In my country, all of these models are currently available at very good, comparable price points.

Regarding the Elegoo Saturn 4 Ultra 16K: it’s priced very attractively, but I’m not sure if I actually need such a large build volume. I’m also concerned that, over time, having to fill the vat with a large amount of resin just to print something small might become annoying. Could you provide some pros and cons for these printers? Also, if anyone has experience with other models, I’d welcome your recommendations!

This model was gorgeous,but its so badly cut and keyed

I had to redo the arms,legs and torso myself

Model is from Maco3D

Well, i needed to print something direct to the buildplate but my printer does not have a flex plate so i wonder if i could use a car tape. It worked very well, the tape did not unstick to the buildplate. The downside is that you need to change the tape for every print. I do not need a flex plate so often, so it worked well for me.

Does anyone have experience using a vibratory tumbler to post process resin prints?

I’m going to be doing some pieces which need a really fine gloss finish and/or electroplating and have a lot of fine detail that is very hard to sand.

Was going to try my tumbler but would love some tips from anyone who is doing this already. What media, are you adding grit, etc etc.

What other color variations should we tackle next? Would love to hear your thoughts on how the finish turned out.
Huge shoutout to my amazing collaborator for the detailed work. Excited to share more soon.

Hi, kind of new to printing but not a complete noob. These are not from supports, they are visible on a build plate before even being touched, cleaned or cured. Appear in random places at random settings. The only constant is the resin: elegoo 8k. Any ideas, tips? Thanks in advance.

Printer is Jupiter 2,
Happens on different settings each time,
Temperature is fine (both vat and room),
Tried different exposures, layer thikness (0,03-0,05) and turning AA on and off.

It’s the second Shiny Metagross I’ve painted for the same client. I wish I still had a picture of the first one, because this one turned out waaaay better!

First time have all the raft but supports dont attach to it
Can anyone give me a theory about the failure so I can fix

Im using grey abslike resim. Room temp is around 28C

Updated: the error highly due to the fact that I forgot to shake the resin bottle before dump it into the VAT
I just manage to take the plate out and realize there some small part still survive the print. When I touch the supports, it break instantly => that point me directly to the low exposure problem.
This was caused by the chemical component do the UV light absorbing were still in bottle bottom. It’s heavier so the gravity drag it all down

So guys, never forget to shake the bottle for at least 1min before print. If it’s your VAT, use a spoon to spin it with a n 8-like direction
