Seeing that there are two versions of the bed leveling Jig, what size is the right one for the Saturn 3 Ultra
The normal one the XL is for 13" or larger
Have any advice putting the heater box on the build plate, Elegoo Mars 4
For this I would recomend looking for a smaller heater and mounting it to the back and high. This is a very small heater so it's going to be hard to get it to all fit well.
I want to print the stl file you have on cults, have any advice to print, I don't want to mount in the Mars4, eventually I will mount it in my Saturn 4 ultra printer
The heater Mod
Its too big too fit in this printer, I would need to totaly redo it to work correctly.
I have a GKTwo printer, using Sunlu ABS-like resin with 10% Siraya Tech Tenacious.
I have used the build plate calibrations, and all showed that it was level but it was 0.2mm short of 1mm thickness.
How do I change the Z-offset to accommodate this?
I also tried the calibration boxes. Seven out of 10 lines printed, which is nice. The boxes are all the right sizes yet they do not fit into each other.
Would this be due to the 0.2mm that I need to adjust?
I've had UV Resin printers before and was using Siraya Tech Fast with Tenacious before; never had to do this much calibration before either. I needed to switch resins due to pricing: Siraya is good but it's expensive and the Canadian dollar keeps going down makes it more expensive for me.
Just looking for some help. Please and thank you.
Sorry for the delay, I'm not on Cults often, if you can reach out to me on the Lychee Slicer Discord just look for Derek J3D | Lychee Team and I'll get you going.
HI,
Sorry for asking but english not being my native language what do you mean by "REFR: Use the plates marked 1-6"
It stands for Resin Exposure Range Finder. You can read about it here and even how to use if if you're using an Anycuibc printer.
Ok thanks. I do not have an Anycubic.
Hey there! Firstly, thanks so much for the resin manual! Quick thing - when I print the Boxes of Calibration, all the boxes fit perfectly into one another. Also, all the vertical lines print perfectly except the 0.1 and 0.12. I reprinted the piece with a very slow raising speed, thinking that might be the problem, but it gives that same print result. Any ideas what might cause this?
First, I want to point out the goal is not to get 10/10 pillars, it's to get as many as your printer / resin will allow under Dimensional Accuracy. The final 2 are VERY hard to push you to a point of higher failure.
That said, if you're using ACF, or a Saturn 4 U, or Mars 5 Ultra, these have a VERY hard time with these last 2 pillars due to their physical interference with resin printing.
If you're using nFEP and are not one of these printers, look at heat, or a large screen protector.
You want to be 23-28c
If you have a full cover screen protector this will hurt accuracy causing you to lower your UV exposure more than you normally would. This will make the resin a bit less hard during the print.
Make sure that your Release film is in good condition, not scratched up.
Finally, not all resins can do this even under the best situations. This is because not all resins are designed to do the same thing. Flex, Wax, High detail, Engineering Ect. 8/10 for some resisn and printers is VERY good!
Hey there.
Curious, what does is mean with your boxes of calibration when everything measures perfectly, the 4mm box fits into the 6mm box like a glove, but for some reason, the 6mm will not fit into the 8mm? Very odd.
That is odd, I would think this to be an issue with some of the surface quality of that box. If you measure the walls, they should be very close to 0.98mm thick. I also recomend a 90d rotation and printing it again. IF you're not make sure you have no less then 2s wait before print, this will do a lot for surface quality.
What printer and resin are you using?
Ya, I'm over compensating and using a 5 sec wait time, including 1/2 sec lift and retract rests. Surface quality looks fine. Using 25um at 0.9 exposure for Phrozen Aqua 8k on my Mars 4 Ultra. In hindsight...I think I printed the boxes with a couple other test pieces at the same time. I'll try again only printing the boxes this time. Cheers!
Any luck? Have you also moved it around a little to make sure there is not a damaged pat on the FEP?
Thanks for following up. Moved\Rotated and printed boxes at 0.9 sec again. This time none of the boxes fit. Did another print at 0.8, and only then did they all fit. Unfortunately, at 0.8 sec exposure, tensile strength is very poor.....less than half the supports print. Guess I'll need to choose one or the other depending on the job at hand. Cheers.
wait what there's a resin manuel?!?!?!!?!?
Thanks for your update. What is new with this version that was not achieved with the previous one ?
Hi another question for you, I sent the files to a commercial printing service through Cults and the contractor is concerned about "details" on the parts and suggesting they be printed in SLA. The image they sent me of details is in the link https://ibb.co/XZz3B6xC
I cant get that image to load
No worries, the printing service eventually figured it out.
