Any tips to avoid warping of thin prints?

Postby artificer » Wed Nov 09, 2016 4:53 pm

I've had some warping of thin prints or sections of prints during the curing process and wonder if it's down to curing too rapidly or unevenly- anyone dealt with / resolved this issue before?

Yes. Probably your light is too strong. Try to put the parts further away and rotate them often to cure all sides evenly. A small turn table is a good idea too.

I cure my parts in UV while submerged in H2O for about 30 min. Keeping them in water while post curing seems to help reduce warping, but if you leave them in too long (like overnight) the resin begins to adsorb the water and then you get really bad warping.

What resin are you using?. I use cherry , green and I have never experienced such a thing. I rarely submerged them though.

I have only used the solus proto resin up to this point.
