Re: Help Diagnosing Failed print cause
Sorry for the slow reply, I wanted to try a few things first. I had a sample bottle of MJ Wax Cast which I had never used lying around, so I setup my second VAT and trialed it..... it worked great on default profile and with some fine tuning printed perfectly. I also bought a bottle of Resin Works, ...

Help Diagnosing Failed print cause
Hi Everyone, can anyone help me figure out why I am getting these fails all of a sudden? Out of curiosity does most of everyone print on 80x45 rather than 48x27? I was printing really well on 80x45 by finding a system of correcting the exposure settings by a method of: If the item is unformed - rais...

Re: Tilt motor made a weird noise, now won't home
Problem Solved it seems :D For those who care: I ended up reinstalling the tilt - stepper motor so that the quartz plate wasn't all the way up and the sensor button wasn't depressed and it worked that time. The homing cycle brought it back up to level no problem, and after homing I was able to make ...

Re: Tilt motor made a weird noise, now won't home
Yeh the spring is/was still on... just testing the homing without the tilt motor connected and manual pressing.. Sensor appears to be working and seems the tilt motor sensor needs two presses to make the z arm go back, or it needs to begin depressed, then released and repressed. Can someone please v...

Re: Can not do homing after changing film
Reset button on the back! I was in the same sitch once and tried resetting the computer, turning the printer and projector off and on with no result, reset button on the back of the printer was the savior. Also the printer power cable can get loose, not sure what your US plugs are like but we bend o...

Re: Everything fails after latest Contour update 2.1.2.0
Update: Lifting the exposure to 3.2 for 25micron layer seemed to have fixed the problem
Weird because it was printing at 2.7sec (default) fine beforehand.

Re: Everything fails after latest Contour update 2.1.2.0
You can uninstall the latest version you have and install the one before. If you have the file saved. Or just download and install the stable version 1.9. Alright cool, I'll try and use that as a backup. Could you please help me in diagnosing and troubleshooting exposure settings? Or point me towar...

Re: Everything fails after latest Contour update 2.1.2.0
May I ask what are the reasons which make you both think it's over exposure? I don't have any flashing between slices and other forum posts of fails which look similar, everyone tells them to add 0.5s to exposure. Not having a crack just trying to learn how to troubleshoot so I don't have to get ang...
