Printing problem!¡

Postby Basster007 » Tue Oct 09, 2018 12:08 am

I have problems printing, I'm using SolusCast and I have not managed to print anything, it sticks in the background. The configuration I'm using is the default one in SolusContour.
Please help.

All of a sudden I can't get anything to print also. Was going great till last week. Thought it was my bulb, put a new one in and still nothing. Half a ring will print. Are you using the lattice to help hold print to build plate?

Check your FULL RGB settings. It's possible after a windows update it was reset.

Which resin, which projector? Maybe post a photo so we can help.

infocus 8606 solus wax resin. I plan on going through all setup again. After Hurricane Michael goes away. Looks like I will just miss the really bad part of it. Maybe 3rd time will be the charm. Getting behind in work. Thank goodness I have a mill.

You need to bump up the exposure with infocus because it’s a little weaker. Try a test model and keep increasing the exposure until you get a full print. Initially try 0.5 seconds more.

I have already managed to print with SolusCast, although I also have some SolusWax and this does not stick to the platform despite adding the gel.

Gracias por su ayuda.

Ya eh logrado imprimir con SolusCast, aunque también tengo un poco de SolusWax y esta no de adhiere a la plataforma a pesar de agregarle el gel.

Thaks for you help.

Adding the gel? I hope you don't add it to the resin. You need to brush a few drops on the build plate.

Also make sure you're selecting the SolusWax profile.
