Re: Any idea why these keep failing?
ok new development, found the error but don’t know why it’s happening, I decided to re-slice the Sq ring in CW on the laptop and export the slices so that they were saved to see if that would help, and whilst scrolling through the slices I noticed 1 layer every so often was blue instead of white and...

Re: Any idea why these keep failing?
Yes I always scroll through the slice files and they seem fine, double checked and all my setting where fine, going to try and print the big square ring again today, I have pre-sliced it in CW and transferred it onto the laptop so fingers crossed it will work this time, just been worried about press...

Re: Any idea why these keep failing?
The shift is the same, sometimes is just steps into the ring rail and sometimes to the side as well, the model should be fine as I’ve printed it a few times, at least 2 fine and 1 fail, I always netfab and then look at each slice layer before I print, I’m going to check my settings on my pc and proj...

Re: Any idea why these keep failing?
I have loads of supports on it, I think its the camera angle I used, I run them through Preform to see where needs supports by the red areas then scroll through and see if there are any islands, @Archem I have managed to print all 3 of the halos I need now, but they are curved to fit the fingr rail ...

Re: Any idea why these keep failing?
No, I just turn the projector off between prints to let it cool off, I had tried to pre-slice but I always have to re-slice it when I open them, even with the sample ring, I'll give it another go, it seems my 1st print of the day fails and the others are fine, as both the last 2 heads I’ve done toda...

Re: reusing the resin left in the resin pool.
just wondering how long the strained resin can be reused for? I keep mine in a 40ml tub painted black on the outside, topped up with fresh resin after a few prints and strained into the vat, can I just keep topping it up or should I cure it and chuck it and start again? I have noticed its possibly a...

Re: Any idea why these keep failing?
wondering if anyone can help as my fail to success ratio is awful, I can print the same piece perfect one day then fail the next, all my models are run through netfab, I’m using CW at the moment as Contour isn’t working but have been speaking to Reify about this, I have just put a fresh film on and ...

Re: Any idea why these keep failing?
thought that might be the case, will stick it on the windowsill, I think the problem I’ve been having is due to static and the film is clinging to the quartz, just emptied the vat to stir the resin and put it on top of a new microfiber cloth so it wouldn’t get any residue on the bottom of the film a...

Re: Any idea why these keep failing?
printed the test ring and it failed, noticed there was extra part cured resin where the failed bit had stuck to the vat, so emptied the tank and added fresh resin, and success! it printed fine, I will try the 5 rings again and see how we go, what should I do with the old resin? As its almost a full ...
