I got a problem with printing at first time.

I got a problem with printing at first time.

Postby duahduah » Thu Sep 06, 2018 6:11 am

I purchased a solus basic printer and run the printer.
I set the printing quality high to 10 and printed a hand shape.
but it went not well.

In my guess

1. I didn't shake the resin enough.
2. I can see the dust particles in the glasses of printer.

now I think that caused by spread of light?

anyway I don't know why now.

can someone help me out?

Hi,

It seems you're not set to full RGB or you need to reduce your exposure times. Did you select the correct profile (proto at 48x27)?

Make sure you followed the instructions carefully and set all the correct options in the projector menu (brightness, contrast, eco mode, gamma, etc.). Also, make sure you set the rgb at full in the graphics options for Nvidia (not video settings) or Intel (called quantification range).

If you did and you're still getting the flashing, it's possible that the higher voltage in your country is affecting the brightness of the projector. In that case you should lower the exposure time and the bottom exposure gradually until you get the desired print quality.

To adjust the exposure you need to click on the Gear icon on the bottom-right of the screen. Make sure the correct resin profile is selected (in this case SolusProto) and then click on the EXPOSURE button to bring up the exposure table. Then change the corresponding box values. If you have 2.3s for ALL layer exposure, try lowering it to 2s. For BOTTOM if you have 5s, try lowering to 4s. Just as an example.
