Postby AV Designs » Thu Jan 28, 2016 4:09 am

Hey all

Can you post a pic?

Please PM me your email and I'll send you the sample ring we recommend printing first. This way we can figure out if it's your setup or the models.

Did you change the nvidia settings to Full RGB like in the manual?

Did you remove the UV filter from the projector bulb?

Did you recalibrate the build table?

If all you settings for computer and CW are correct, then it might be the tension of the vat on the quartz table. I found this to be one of my problems along with supports.

Get things set up like your going to print. Put the vat on without any resin in it. Press print. Make sure you are not tightening the vat too much. you should see the tilt mechanism operate.

Okay so
Due to my ignorance, Emil reminded me about the projector filter. It did make a difference I put a quick
Design in and got something now printing the sample ring Emil sent me. Still might have to fine tune

The number one thing I can tell you is that the support structure for the model is the most important.
