do it in chitubox, save it as an STL and load it into photon software

Yeah chitubox is way better, and if you have the newest firmware upgrade it will even read files sliced in chirubox so you don't have to even use photon software

This is a recipe for disaster, you'll end up with a whole bunch of artifacts. Meshmixer -> photon slicer works or just use chitubox to slice as well.

I use 3d Builder for making things sacred (holy) It goes through places where I've had issues getting Chitubox to do so.

I've just used Chitubox, I'm printing my second hollow print ever, so I'm not the best judge yet. The first one came out just fine though

Meshmixer for sure. Chitubox sucks for hollowing

if your mesh is of good quality and water tight chitubox will hollow just fine

Thanks, I'm trying chitubox for my next print.

Had to join, those Wolves are too awesome :D

welcome!

So if I become a patreon what do I get access too ?

Jonny Marable well you have a few hours left to access the werewolves and if you are still a Patron in April you get access to the wraiths, the horses sculpture, banshees and other stuff such as the monthly hero and some surprises we have for you this month.

I'm envisioning a LOT of supports! Looks great though.

oh is this one of those supportless models?

it couldn't be unless the tentacles print separate, too many islands

Looks good!

Jonathan Alvarado there were lots of supports

I keep my walls above 1.5 mm. Use plenty of supports inside the model. And dont over cure it .

I've mostly given up on hollowing things unless they're very large and solid. I used to hollow everything I could but it lead to far more failures than the resin I saved.

When putting holes for hollowing I use 6mm. It's big enough that I have no trouble with liquid tension flowing in and out. And if 6mm looks really large on a print it's a good Indicator for me that it probably doesn't need to be hollow.

What depth setting?

I bought a couple of spare Anycubic ones when I got my printer last July. Screwed up the first print and cleanup as I had no idea what I was doing, so replaced the FEP for my second print. It has lasted me all this time and still going strong. ? Maybe 5L of prints put through it since then.

I guess you got that off their site? Amazon doesn't seem to sell that brand, and I dont' know the specs for the film.

Yeah it was off Amazon, but like I say, back in July. https://www.amazon.co.uk/....../B07DMFKTJ4/ref=sr_1_2......

I buy almost everything on Amazon... Except fep. Better deals elsewhere. I recommend getting a 5 foot roll from flexvat.Com

I agree with getting a roll. May seem like a lot at first but you'll get addicted don't worry ?

I use a roll from here: https://www.mcmaster.com/fep-film

Brian Beggs nice! But there are just 3 thicknesses.. What do you order and how is it? .004 is only .1016mm. .15 to .20 mm is the best....

I ordered this last time: Clear Slippery High-Temperature FEP Film 24" Wide X 0.005" Thick, 2 ft. Length

A sheet of this has been on my photon for about 6 months now, still looks good. Might change it soon as I got a bunch of new resin in... but I may just lazy out and leave it in there.

It will work, but you won't have any protection if the vat leaks.

Ok cool. Thanks!

The top glass is basically a screen protector for 5.5" phone screens. So you could theoretically buy a aftermarket protector to use.

Different versions of the printer use different ranges of software versions. Let the group know which version of printer (and/or the current firmware on your printer) and someone will likely suggest which version is best for you.

thanks for the advice, just updated the post

Send it back and get an Elegoo screen

That's the backlight, it's removable but a pain to do so. Best bet is to return it and get a screen advertised with the backlight removed.

that should be able to be removed
