Really liked the half-bent alien model, can you put more photos of this model?

Игорь Лубенец

Thanks a lot, where do you get this model, what the size of alien and what layer height did you used?

It's on Cults3d and Thingyverse...I just searched Alien and Xenomorph. Height of model came out to 10cm. Used 0.020 layer height. 60sec bottom, 8 sec normal, 1 sec off, 5 bottom layers. Esun white water washable.

☺️

Same here!!! Love my zero ?

(y)

Lee Petrová love that! Havent seen that one before

Lee Rogers really thanks! Model created by Libor Drahoš and i was painting the model :)

Very nice any tips for resin and setting

Luis Guzman my go to resin now is e-sun white , water washable . Never had a minutes issue with it. My settings are 60s, 8s,1 sec off and this was printed at 0.03 hence the 28 hours!

Thank you

That’s awesome. Great maximizing volume!

Stl? :)

Could only find split files

Alison Wartenberg https://www.myminifactory.com/....../3d-print-alien......

Looks great

Rodney Houlford thank you. My best print so far. Will let loose with the airbrush tomorrow!

Completely odor free? Go see a doctor about that anosmia ;)

Photon S - no. Upgrades help reduce odor, yet it'd be present

Bob Deblier how's that? Mine Zero is also odorless during operation.
Until I open the lid, obviously

It was a big worry for me as my other half and my kids use the room frequently, but there is seriously no smell , or I would get it in the ear!

Oleksandr Panforov thank you....do you think its becasue of the cabinet style lid?

Lee Rogers trust me, there is. Maybe your nose doesn't pick it up. Seems to be common in this group. I don't have a super sensitive nose, but I cannot enter the room I'm printing in without an active carbon face mask.

I have a zero, it's faint but there is a smell. And yeah, it's still there though.

Lee Rogers I assume it's due to questionable fumes extraction design.
I believe it was supposed to be filtered via charcoal filters. That was not very effective.

Cabinet style lid compliments to that.

I'm also printing in my living room, and the best I've done to reduce smell - bought Anycubic Eco resin.

3m filter I've installed also helps.

Lee Rogers like so. My very special printing corner

Bob Deblier I have this in the dining room . No odour until lid is off. This is a photon zero.

Oleksandr Panforov fab thank you

Original Photon - absolutely not! It throws all the fumes out from the print area with a loud fan. With modifications it gets quite unstinky.

You can install a carbon filter inside the printing area and circulate the air through it to reduce smell even more.

Dan Andersson thank you . Do you mean printed parts to direct the fan?

SAME lol I love my zero and want another one lol I keep mine in the garage so smell isn't an issue. From what research I've done it's more about the resin brand then the printer :) I use elegoo gray with little to no smell

Jolene Sweeney I've tried a few bramds, and even without the lid on the water washable resins are really low odour! I like the e-sun ones.

Here is the filter holder I made: https://cults3d.com/....../anycubic-photon-active-coal......

It uses the original fan. It circulates the air inside the printing area through the carbon filter.

Dan Andersson perfect thank you. I can get the photon off Ali Express for £188 delivered, but I was concerned about the smell. I take it you can buy these carbon filters from Amazon ?

Lee Rogers Most likely yes. I used activated carbon pellets which I bought from a local allergy store. Pellets can be usually also found in aquarium shops.
With my FDM printer I had a holder for activated carbon mat. It was designed to be used in the oven filter in the kitchen. Worked also well.

No smell does not mean no harmful fumes.

Dan Andersson that's brilliant, thanks for all your help ?

I don’t notice any printers smell myself. Neither does anyone in the family actually. Only when I open them I have 9 different resin printers for reference. I think it depends on how sensitive you are I guess

Kevin Boogaard I understand that, but that wasnt the query. I still use mask, but I dont want an odour filling the room as I dont have an outside area I can use.

John Chrapkowski thank you, I'm with you on this!

the cleaning agents are what smell ?

John Chrapkowski very true ?

I wasn’t talking about you ?

Kevin Boogaard ah I get ya ? little people are banned from the room when printing. I hardly trust myself at 46 let alone a 9 or old being in the same room ? ?

Haha, you are a smart person then ?

looks very nice !

Piotr Felke thank you ?

That would be a test print that I'd actually want to keep!

Awesome, I have some green and was thinking about printing a slimer

Hollowed it out but you can still see some got stuck, happy though, looks better than in the pics!

Lee Rogers I use a little hand drill when I do that :)

dat butt tho

Ryan Pennington first print I used some infill...however it got stuck in various chambers I hadn't put a hole ? zero infill this time, but a drill is a good idea ?

Lee Rogers I bought one of these cheap sets from Amazon

Ryan Pennington ideal, looking now ?

Ghost Cheeks!

That ghost cheeks clap tho

that ass lol

Nice!!! I just did my 1st 6 hour print!

Jolene Sweeney problem is, I now want a bigger printing plate ? ?

Lee Rogers same.... lol but I got mine for $99 so over all I'm happy:) but I know I'll be getting a bigger one in like a year.

What settings did you use for this ?

Jolene Sweeney wow that's a bargain!

Lee Rogers yea inhad a $70 coupon lol what resin are you using?

60 secs, 8 secs, 0.03, 1 sec off. It's the zero so anti aliasing is on at 16x....long print 20 odd hours ?

Jolene Sweeney that's just the anycubic grey. I have some esun water washable grey to try as there seems to be an ipa shortage! Have some maths though as backup

Lee Rogers cool I'm using elegoo gray and translucent. I like the gray hate the clear lol

Let me know about the water washable! I'm using acetone right now:( idk when I'll get ipa but mean green did not work well for me at all

Jolene Sweeney I've used elegoo water washable clear blue and it was good. The completely clear hasn't been good for me either, and weirdly I cant get the anycubic black to work at all, tried numerous settings ?‍♂️

Lee Rogers I like the blue! Yea ive gotten both to print well. But the clear yellows and I hate that....

Jolene Sweeney yes same for me. Tried curing different times, in water....someone did mention peroxide takes away the yellow but yet to try ...I have some elegoo clear green to try , so that may get an outing now in lockdown ?

What kind of resin did you use? Anycubic grey or some other vendors?

Tomasz Biłas this is anycubic, but I get good results with elegoo too. Do have some water washable esun grey to try .

Lee Rogers yea I've tried it all.... in water not curing. Uv light outside.... still yellows.... lol yea the green looks freaking. Awsome! I might try that next:)

I printed mine on its back, any reason why you printed it sideways?

God damn, I'm surprised that stuck.

Aaron Stalling didnt want to scale it down, and the zero plate is quite small!

Quest Matthews-Martial not as surprised as me ?

Lee Rogers ahh, didn't realise it was the zero

Aaron Stalling it's just made me want a bigger build plate now...maybe the photon s....but having seen a review of the Elegoo Saturn, that looks amazing!

Lee Rogers how long did you do the first few layers?

I’m just starting, I noticed it helps a lot.

Quest Matthews-Martial 60 secs, then 8 secs, then 1 sec off. 0.03

Anycubic grey

Damn I thought it’d be like 3min or something haha.

Quest Matthews-Martial I'm surprised it's just 60

Oh sorry I saw you posted earlier

That's an awesome print! I assume it has a circular hole for a mini to "ride"

Hello can I ask you an information usually I used any grey resin 0.03 with 12 s of exposure time under that I feel the details a bit melted.. What do you think and usually setting use for that? ? ? Many thanks

Kyle Ashleigh Robinson thank you...yes, 2 more parts to come@

Ivan Del Bene hi, I ran a lot of exposure test prints and 8 seconds seemed to give the best results on my printer. 10 is good too, but may higher or lower then mine struggled a bit. With the zero not being 2k its hard to know what is really good from this machine

How do you remove supports? I printed a piece and I tried clipping supports before curing with UV and it broke the actual part.

First step to cut the support on its far end, away from the model, and then cut the post from the part, near the part.

Make sure you have both the fine tip flush cutter and the regular type of small wire diagonal cutter on hand. I trust those more than any other types of cutters for this chore.

Oscar H. Montes as per post below. It just takes time. I spent a bit extra to get some good tools. I find the sphere contact works well so I can cut the main body then the little balls come off easy .

No fails. PrusaSlicer Auto Support.

Lee Rogers Here are my settings for AnyCubic Black in Photon workshop. These have worked for me, maybe they'll work for you...

Conan Lloyd thank you, that's great, I'll give it a whirl ?

I have had a few issues with autosupports, but not enough I would go to spending an hour manually doing it.

Keith Johnson m2

Lee Rogers ok thanks ?

Hot water helps amazingly for support removal and on all but the finest of details it isn't harmful, just be sure to have fully cleaned your model or your hot water has to be properly filtered and disposed of .

Yes. All resins yellow when post cured. Some more than others

Nipuna Gunarathne thank you .I thought it might dull a bit, just not this much ?

It's less visible with dark colors

The red background doesn’t help, but I assume it’s yellowed? Normally a sign of over-curing or over-post-curing. What did you wash it with? I got much clearer clear prints with Monocure ResinAway than IPA wash.

Ashley Cobb yeah its yellowed quite a lot. Washed in IPA. I was thinking maybe 4 minutes was too long but the base is solid so thought it may need the extra time. I'm assuming no miracle varnish will bring this back?!

Lee Rogers anything you do to it short of painting it will only make it worse... sorry ?

Ashley Cobb no worries, thanks, all a learning curve!

I’ve been through a 5L bottle of clear resin so yeah, many trays of resin dumped out... ha

Put it in hydrogen peroxide then set it in your uv curing box or whatever. Doing take out the yellow. Make sure model is completely covers in the liquid

Ed Horn really? That’s awesome, will have to try it.

Do you know what concentration of h2o2?

It's just about the resin. Cheaper components, especially photoinitiators yellow, better quality resins are designed not to

Ed Horn ok, will give it a try, cheers ?

Stefan Giudici is this a cheap resin though? Very well reviewed in amazon and no difference in cost to others?

Lee Rogers I don't mean cheap so much in the cost you'll pay, as they'll charge whatever people will pay, but cheaply made, the trade off is better cure times with these. Monocure clear for instance is pretty long cure time for a clear resin, but it doesn't yellow at all. But yeah this is just a property of the chemicals they opted to use.

Stefan Giudici I'm happy to spend a bit initially to find the better resins. Monocure is one I haven't tried, so I'll take a look, thank you ?

Stefan Giudici monocure will yellow if over-cured.

Ed Horn just checked...theres lots of percentage strength....any In particular?

Lee Rogers I just use what I get at the grocery store. Use it all the time to restore yellowed plastic parts. I can't guarantee it works with all resins though.

I use anycubic clear

3% works for most things But it will likely vary depending on the resin brand. Good luck.

stl is free?

Georgios Kolotouros no, a few pounds

Lee Rogers link?

Georgios Kolotouros https://www.myminifactory.com/....../3d-print......

Lee Rogers thank you

Good quality print. When I ordered my Photon Zero, I chose 2L of resin since they were charging $30/L. Both liters they sent me were AnyCubic black, so I wonder if I would have better results with a different resin.

Jonathan Basseri it was weird, 3 other resins perfect, I just could not get the black to work. Have returned to amazon and going to try an elegoo black.

Others have told me to maybe up the exposure time since it's more opaque than most resins. My last two prints game out alright, but I have aliasing problems I need to figure out. Clearly the Photon Zero can produce smooth outputs, so I need to experiment with settings.

Jonathan Basseri yeah I tried 60, 80 and 100, different base layers, normal exposure, pulled my hair out in the end ? ?
