good afternoon, please someone to help me in how to set the profile change to use another resin, just change the profile on the Solus Contour or also you have to configure the projector ???? because today I did a test with Solus art resin and only printed the base of the supports and the rest was stuck in the film. Some suggestions please.
Normally my printer works with the resin Solus proto and I have no problem, but I want to make tests with Solus art resin and they fail even though the profile changes.

Open Contour, then go to EDIT, PRINT PROFILE.

Then you will see a drop down box on the top left that says "Resin Profile".

You can select the correct resin profile there and press OK.

For the ArtGrey resin you need to use thicker support tips on the bottom of the prints. At least 0.4-0.6mm tips. To make sure it holds the part well.

Again, thicker ones. 0.6 is recommended.

I did a first test with the solus art resin and only printed the base nothing else, and I noticed the projector and I see that it does not shoot the light towards the printer, but the platform moves normally as if it were printing, what would be the problem? ??

Run a print without the resin tank and without the build plate and make a video if you can for the first min or so. Then email it to me at info@junction3d.com

Yes, I saw it. Everything is working as it should. After the initial layers are done, the white light turns blue. If you want white light all the time, move the Intensity slider all the way to the Right (to 8), in the resin profile window.

Just purchased some SolusArt Grey resin to test but profile does not appear in the Contour software when I look there. I also purchased a test bottle of SolusCast 1.0 and that profile does appear in Contour. What gives? Where can I get the profile for SolusArt Grey ?
