Does a FEP sheet lose tension over time?
I ask this because i'm still using my original FEP sheet from when I got my printer about 10 months ago, and recently i've been having issues with all of my prints warping very slightly on the face that pulls from the sheet. (I've tried every possible solution to stop the warping and the rest of the prints look superb which brings me back to this idea)

My thoughts are, if the FEP sheet is looser than it should be then the print will stick better and take longer to pull off the sheet after each layer which could be distorting the model whilst printing. I haven't yet emptied the vat to feel the tension but I will do that tomorrow.

Has anyone had this issue or could possibly shed some light on it? Thanks!

Please Help! I'm at a loss with this one...
I've been trying to print a model railway coach but it keeps warping on the corners. I've tried every orientation with supports and it's always the same outcome. I decided to have a crack at putting the coach straight on the plate with no supports and it's gotten about a third of the way through and come of the plate.

I'm using Monocure Rapid Grey at: Layer Height: 0.05 / Exposure: 11s / Bottom Exp: 80s / Bottom Layers: 8

I've also tried turning up exposure time to 13s and it was no better. The picture below show the last failed print from trying without supports. I've also added pictures showing the warping i'm getting when printing with supports.
To me it seems like bed adhesion is the issue, but when I remove the print from the plate it seems to be stuck well. Maybe the corners of the support base is pulling off the plate during each FEP pull?

Any help will be greatly appreciated, i've printed about 10 of these with no success.

Has anyone tried printing a stencil for airbrushing?
I'm trying to print a letter stencil but it's not working for me. The stencil is very small with the letters being only 2mm tall (it's for a HO scale loco).
I've found when I print that it's not printing the letters and i'm just getting a solid block of resin with the letters very lightly engraved in one side. The writing on the plates behind the stencil are visible when printed so i'm not sure why the stencil won't work.
This is how i'm printing it and my settings with Monocure Rapid Grey. I've also tried printing flat onto the bed.
Any ideas are greatly appreciated!

How crucial is even curing?

I'm asking as I've noticed most of my prints have started to warp (looking at them side on the sides are curling slightly upwards). My curing station is quite budget being just a shoebox lined with tinfoil and a UV bulb hovering over the top. I turn the print every 10 minutes or so but still, one side would be getting cured first.

I'm going to make a curing station with a bucket and some UV strip in the next week but I'm curious, has anyone else had similar problems?

Thanks ?

I'm trying to print this coach I've recently made but every time I print, no matter what the orientation, the corners warp. This is happening before curing.
I'm using Monocure Rapid Grey at 11s per layer, 8 bottom layers at 120s and printing at 0.05mm.
Does anyone know what this could be?
I've tried lots of different orientations and there is no way this model could have suction issues. You can also see I've added a lot of heavy supports and also thickened the walls of the model to 1mm to be sure they're stable.
My build plate hasn't been sanded but models still stick well, they're not hard to get off with the plastic spatula though. You'll also notice some layer movement on the side of the coach.
Any help would be highly appreciated as I'd like to get this model finished!

Ultrasonic Cleaners... what's the go?
I'm thinking of possibly investing in one but are they worth it? A lot of what I print has fine intricacy's that are hard to get to with a brush or pressurised air during cleanup. If they're worth it, what's a good but not too expensive one to look at?
Thanks!

My printer froze at 51% on a 6 hour print. What could the issue be?
I've had my Photon for 6 months with no issues so far. I'm still using the supplied USB and haven't done any software updates.

Really happy with the outcome of this one! It's only 15mm tall (HO model railways scale).
Printed with Monocure Grey.

I've recently heard from a good source that the resin used in these printers won't last very long once cured, as in a finished model may only last a year and the resin will basically deteriorate. Has anyone had any experience with this?
I paint all my prints so they're sealed.
