Requesting some advice please. Photon S using 3d builder to fix any errors, resize and hollow and Chitubox to add supports followed by photon workshop (PW) to slice. Due to my machine i need to use PW to slice as a pws type file. My first thoughts were that i was adding supports in PW for all the failed prints. One of my issues with PW us that it doesnt refresh back to default slice settings (i.e. loads up slice settings from the previous print). This is making it hard to work off a reference point to tune the slice settings.
After printing the test cube and a small bust successfully, all of my prints are turning out to be pancakes on the bottom of the vat. side note, ive been carefully removing the pancakes by pressing lightly under the FEP at the edge of the print.
The first fail after the successful bust was the deadpool keychains, angled and supported. Settings as per the pic.
The next 2 or 3 failed prints was a lithopane, i must not have saved the stl just before slicing. This is where i started tweaking exposure times, bottom layer and layer thickness. Refer to the pic without the stl.
Following that i tried to print a resin funnel. I opened up the test cube to check its settings because i know that thing prints. Copied the settings and bam, another failed print.
So, last night i relevelled using the flint read method and gave the printer a clean with IPA. Went back to square one and printed the test cube. it was printing so i cancelled and loaded up the funnel again (which was raised about 5mm from the supports). The funnel failed but instead of a pancake, it had about 5mm of supports and what looks like the first 10 or so layers (will add a pic of failed print and pws settings when i get home from work).
Just before leaving for work, i went back to the bust that worked (which i must have sliced to the usb instead of to the project folder) and started printing that again to see if i can actually print anything at the moment.
Has anyone else had a similar experience with the Photon S, and what worked for you?
