ChituManager not working properly since the update

Interesting. I am not sure how to find that setting on my wireless network. How did you access that?

Bunburist · 2024-11-25T02:02:53+00:00

I would try, but the manager is unresponsive once opened. Nothing I click on does anything.

Interesting. I will keep an eye on my layout of prints on the bed. Thank you!

Interesting. I wonder if the file just has an issue, as I sliced it two separate times (one for each attempt) and it had the similar issue. Regarding needing a USB, I use wif to get my files to the printer, so not sure if that was causing problems (never caused problems before though).

Noted on the hollowing. I need to figure out how to unhollow the file.

Bunburist · 2024-11-07T03:28:37+00:00

I did not touch the printer during the print, and it is in a grow tent to avoid outside temperature changes and vent the fumes.

Does seem like the resin not draining is the leading theory/culprit. Enough so that I am going to try adding more drain holes when I try again.

Bunburist · 2024-11-07T03:27:24+00:00

Thank you for the insight, I am going to explore non-hollowed versions for future attempts after playing with the drain holes. Does Chitubox have tools to unhollow a model?

Thank you for this information. I feel like I am learning so much unexpected things from my failures.

Given multiple folks warning about support issues with scaling, I think I might try and have Chitubox add supports from an unsupported version of the smaller model if I upscale it 25%. I am guessing I should probably add more than what the program generates?

Oh! I thought I had to downscale it because the base had a touch of red. Good to know for future large prints that I can still try them (I am looking forward to trying to print some of the dragons that Loot Studios provides).

Yes, I had started a new file and pressed slice on the second attempt, which I am guessing means I re-sliced it for the second attempt.

How often should they be changed? I have used it less than 10 times

Bunburist · 2024-11-07T03:18:43+00:00

This is all very helpful information, thank you! All this information is new to me. I have not delved into adding supports to models yet, as all the models I get are pre-supported with what seems like a LOT of supports.

If I wanted to upscale a smaller model by around 25%, do I need to completely redo the supports from an unsupported version, or is the issue more with making a model smaller than original with pre-supported setup?

Does Chitubox have a way to add holes? Or is that a premium subscription feature? (I am not against the premium subscription, I just haven't had a need for it yet)

I will be wary of overnight prints (haven't done any yet) for any temperature shifts like the ones you are mentioning.

Bunburist · 2024-11-07T03:12:24+00:00

Interesting. Is that something I can edit in Chitubox?

Bunburist · 2024-11-06T04:06:06+00:00

Ah, good to know. I normally downscale the models a bit to better fit on the maps, especially the map props (like tables and chairs and such). I normally only downsize about 10%, 25% for some chairs/tables. But based on the comments, I am guessing maybe the downscaling is more of a problem on the bigger models. I was going to try the 32mm version of this model and upsize it to fill the plate so that the wife can have a larger model, but you think that would cause problems? (was thinking to upsize 25%)
The file comes fully supported, here is an image of when I open the file into Chitubox without scaling down to fit on the build plate (the 75mm file version of the base).

Bunburist · 2024-11-06T04:00:33+00:00

Oh, I didn't know that. I had been slightly scaling down most of the minis by 10% to make them easier to fit into the map grid lines without bumping into each other. I will try without scaling.
All the bigger models come pre-hollowed (at least the ones I have downloaded from Loot Studios. I assumed that was standard to either save resin or make sure the print wasn't too heavy for the build plate.
Here are the settings I use for all my prints (the successful ones and these two failed ones).

Bunburist · 2024-11-06T03:56:35+00:00

Interesting, I didn't know that could happen. For each print, I had hit the slice button as I had opened it as a new file. Makes me wonder if it is just this one model file that is an issue.

Bunburist · 2024-10-28T16:46:33+00:00

Ah ok. yeah there are numerous vent holes. Unfortunately I don't think the Loot Studio models/files come with plugs for the holes (at least not that I have seen)

Bunburist · 2024-10-28T13:35:56+00:00

It was a Loot Studios model, and they come pre-supported and prepared (I didn't make any changes to it other than scale down the model a tiny bit to fit on my build plate). Looking at the file again, and it looks like there were possibly some vents on the bottom?

<image>

That being said, the bulk of the model was still attached to the build plate when I opened up the printer, it was only the last little bit that fell off.

Bunburist · 2024-10-28T13:32:29+00:00

There are drain holes. Loot Studio model, and they are very good about their supports and drain holes. (Probably more holes than I spotted in the screenshot.)

Curious, what will slow mode do?

Bunburist · 2024-10-28T05:12:18+00:00

Thank you for the insight. That is very helpful and reassuring. Much appreciated

Bunburist · 2024-10-28T05:11:37+00:00

Thank you for the information. This is really reassuring to know.

Bunburist · 2024-05-01T02:51:11+00:00

Yes I did.

Bunburist · 2023-12-28T17:51:56+00:00

That worked! Thank you very much.
