People like that should go to prison!

Was someone on eBay trying to sell 5L for £500 safe to say they got sent a nice message.

They charge around $12+ per litre around me. Which is kinda expensive, considering it was around $2 in February

Yes I know, free market is totally shit sometimes. Imagine you would always need to live with these prices for cheap products (insulin for example)

Might want to remove your address...

Cheers, done!

As my father said, "You can sell for whatever price you want. That doesn't mean anyone is going to buy."

Did you report them to Amazon for "price gouging"?

good idea!

Free shipping tho

Jesus... just buy the cheapest degreaser you can find and you'll be ok. Used about 6 brands and they all work perfectly

Da fuq... But FREE Shipping!

They should ban posts about ipa now, we all know the situation and we all know the alternatives that can be used

Use meths if you’re in the U.K., denatured alcohol if you’re not. Got 5 litres off Amazon for £20, which arrived the other day.

Mike Hamilton cheers will do

Keith Fothergill ?? ??

I don't. Can't get a lot of alternatives you Guys are using here Germany. Atleast brand-wise. And trying new stuff is potentially wasted money.

Maybe we should ban people who complain about IPA posts instead. I know it would make me happier. Something new seems to pop up every single time.

Price gauging in the US is against the law during this crisis. I have turned in a few listings to Amazon and they disappeared.

You need 90%+ to clean prints. I don't think that 70% is going to be effective.

Jeeezarse

Report price gouging

Like Amazon cares. More gouging gets them a higher commission fee.

Michael Alexander Caddick inaccurate

Amazon sellers (just like ebay ones) pay a commission to the platform. That commission is based off the value of the goods being sold. At the moment its 1.80 referral fee plus 15% of the item price.

Michael Alexander Caddick Amazon is being charged fines for price gouging. It doesn’t matter what percent when every instance is 10 grand.

Also, price gouging is a federal crime. Report them and the listers will be prosecuted

It just shows what a bunch of shitbags we share the earth with! They are millions of them, male and female, always have been !

print it up-right

The best advice I got with supports was to use the Prusa Slicer Software. Import your part then right click it and select “optimize orientation” once that is done add supports within prusa at 50% or more. Then “file” “export build plate with supports” exports it as a STL file. Import that file back into chitubox and print away! You can also use the photon validation software after slicing with chitubox to better increase a successful print (Sorry for the long reply, I have not had issues since I switched to this method)

Joe Cahill that’s sounds long dude but i’ll give it a shot, although that was my first attempt thanks ?

Scott Slenders why ?

I’ve learned I’d much rather take the extra time prepping than scrapping my VAT for failed prints. Best of luck!

Thanks! ?

Izak Fields time spent supporting your model is proportional to probability of success.

Need more photo with bad print.

I love printing tiny stuff, this is my favorite, post again if you paint it.

Yessik Ziiq I will post it ?

I guess you can sit it in the sun for a day, then let it settle for a week, then pour it off through a coffee filter?

Question: for how long do you use it? I use it in the Wash'n'Cure bucket and it is getting decidedly murky. But it still removes the resin.

Thomas Holm I've used it for a few months. Haven't used my photon and cleaner for a while now so can't really advise you on how long you can use it. But there is a lot of resin in my cleaner and I'm going to clean it all first so I can make a fresh start ?

Ben Johnston but where do you store it in for a week. I've been thinking of putting it in a plastic 2L soda bottle but I don't really trust the resin in a plastic bottle ?

I keep mine in a really well seal kitchen storage container (Sistema, but the more expensive Brilliance ones). Its good quality polycarb/HDPE, its fine for resin etc. It seals all the way around the top

https://www.woolworths.com.au/....../sistema......

Omg where those this file comes from. I want ti paint this ASAP

Gambody.com I added the gun though

How big roughly is full size?

about 70cm high

Wash your hands

Richard Humble i will. With IPA

looks ok. are there a few heavy supports at the lowest point?

Nipuna Gunarathne yes. the underside and the bottom legs are loaded with heavy supports

Also it's holowed out and it has a drain hole

People gotta STOP printing those things. People are getting sick at an exponential rate and THIS is why! ? ? ?

Orlando Von Lowenstein on which side is the hole?

Stefan Giudici on the botom

Scott Pavlich we are in quarantine here. No wories. It will be contained to the house. ? ?

And i'l expoze it to UV so all the germs and viruses die

Great, bottom being on plate side, rather than the vat side, right? I get nervous when people say drain hole instead of vent hole, usually suggests they are putting it on the wrong side!

On the vat side

Non scherzate con questo virus. Da noi la gente muore e soffre. Non avete un po di rispetto e dignità. Vergognatevi

Orlando Von Lowenstein Just don’t print more that one....otherwise your infection rate would have doubled overnight

Yup. I hope i cand stop just at one.

Do i also need a vent hole? The drain hole is 2mm.
I think it will drain ok.

Annibale Varico sorry to hear that. People are suffering here too. We are on lockdown too.
I hope we'l all get to the other side safe.

Orlando Von Lowenstein They should be the same hole, on the build plate side of the model. It prevents the model from suctioning to the fep, and then the resin can be drained after the model is finished.

Jeremy James Rutherford the model does not touch the vat. It's all supported

Orlando Von Lowenstein

Orlando Von Lowenstein How do you think resin printers work?

Jeremy James Rutherford got me there. ?

umorismo macabro, the last laugh before death.

You might want to Edit some of those support and 1) consolidate them to save resin 2) some are really close to the model and might stick.

If you don't know how to edit, check out this video:

https://youtu.be/tECIg12koSk

Thomas Holm i hope not

Neither do I. Memento mori et carpe diem.

And btw, would love a copy of that supported file, now that you have done all the work. Yes, I know, shameless begging ... ;)

If it prints ok i'l share. We'l see in about 6 hours

Make sure you hollow it, otherwise the "body" would look dark green instead of transparent. It would save you resin, and reduce the suction during printing.

It won't survive the IPA

Printed and IPAed

But the WHO said 60% or above ?

It's a slicer problem

supported in chitubox?
repair the stl before you bring it to photon workshop

Nipuna Gunarathne yes supported in chitubox and sliced in photon workshop. The .stl looks good.

yes yes this happens to almost every new user. it looks good but there're inverted normals. run it through a repair program like netfabb service

Not necessarily, which printer and firmware are you on

Photon 5.5, V4.2.17

Supports around the failed area probably not good enough to combat the suction from the fep.

Can happen if you have large areas that need printing in one layer, they stick to the fep really hard, and it might damage supports on a piece that's on the same layer

So I mainly used light supports, shall I replace most of them with Mid / Heavy? Could that help?

Could definitely help yes. Could also be bed leveling but considering the rest printed fine and seeing what else was on your plate, it seems reasonable that's it's just the supports that aren't up to it.

Lorenz Nijs perfect, I will ajust them asap :)

Mercy?

Chris Moody could also be exposure in combination with what I said... ?

A lot of it is trial and error.. If bigger supports don't work, try the exposure. Not familiar with this resin, so wouldn't know if your settings are good for it.

si

Lorenz Nijs thanks!

I also think that the supports are quite thin. Try ones like medium

next try starts printing soon :) Made heavier supports

FYI was having the same problem with a model, today i tried the exposure route by upping it with 0.75 seconds and now it seems to continue on great on the part it failed the last couple of days.

Great, what size of this model?

Where did you find the stl?

Ooooh Black legion! Really cool

Where do find it

Nice! Been working on some 40k stuff right now

Игорь Лубенец its 40 cm.if you download it its ready to this size.

James Brosman https://cults3d.com/en/users/jimsbeanz/followers

Mario Hippmann https://cults3d.com/en/users/jimsbeanz/followers

Beanz, I have so many prints

What's that puddy stuff?

Robert Nisson if i understand correct its blue tac if i say it right.

Giannis Kon used for attaching model pieces? Does it dry on its own?

Robert Nisson no. its like gum. It sticks parts together. Then you remove it.

Giannis Kon hmm so it's just to hold it together so you can glue it?

Thanks for the info

Robert Nisson no it hold together part but it doesn't help you with the glue. It's just to see a model or fix the pose of the model. Then you remove it and glue it together. This stuff is suposed to stick posters and stuff like that. Many Modellers use it for this purpose.

My remix of it

Joe Kirkus nice... You 'converted' the head and the arms?

Giannis Kon I found an Abaddon remix of it, which I then changed out the head, cut off the mace, mirrored the mace arm, and covered up the chaos Star and took off the shoulder stars.

The chainsword is actually two smashed together and enlarged.

It’s been... a long process, I’m still not 100% happy with it.

What layer height are you printing at?

Gavin Patterson these are my settings..

Gavin Patterson .. And anti aliasing at 4.

Giannis Kon thanks i really appreciate it, I'm trying to get a good understanding of the settings and see how they work for others

Gavin Patterson i never get under 8 at layer exposure. Layer height 5 is good for details. With these settings i've had no issues. I'm new to printing so i'm still learning.
