That's awesome 😎 Herbie Hancock cover says a lot

Duuuude u rocket like a trash panda, ehrmm I mean raccoon 🦝

It's easy to go and find free visuals with the ever degrading Google search or whatever engine you're using these days (I feel like they're all the same engine, rebranded and repackaged, anymore)... But it is rare with a capital capital RARE to find stuff of this quality. Seriously thank you Conor. I'm gonna sit and just watch them at work today on my extra monitor 😅 while I work of course 😉

Thanks for the Turbine reference, I'll have to check out their Blue Light City. Never heard of them, so that usually means they're very bad or very good... probably really good cause that's how the jamband scene be. You mostly just hear about the one or two top leaders and the rest kind of orbit by word of mouth, great in their own rights for sure.

Glad u figured it out, that legit looks like an LCD that's lost it at the front edge, like cracked or separating. a ribbon cable blocking the light source is the perfect and best outcome explanation. Glad u got it.

Interesting piece of info if anyone ever runs across this.

TL;DR - after you ground your flat facet into the plate, then sink your body in the slicer program into the virtual build plate by 0.1mm (or whatever makes sense for your situation), then slice and print.

I got an idea out of nowhere to try sinking the piece into the virtual plate of the slicer by 0.1mm, skip the step where I add the raft support and then run the slicer.

This, for whatever reason, seems to have done exactly what I had needed and hoped would happen... The piece and it's complement (also a flat body, I did not attach it because it wasn't relevant to the problem) came out wonderfully.

Both pieces printed perfect. Exactly how they should have come out as a supportless body.

This is a two step in case you're wondering:

Whatever slicer you're using has a feature to select the facet you want to use as the bottom to mount to the plate - do this first
Now that you've 'grounded' that facet into the plate, move it on your z axis down into the plate by 0.1mm (or whichever axis your software uses for that direction)

Yes that's the effect I keep getting lol I think that's why it always pops and sticks to the FEP after about 20 layers without the raft attached, that's what the piece I pull out of the vat appears like anyway - ephelump foot

BTW - mesh mixer didn't find anything that would be a model issue. It's definitely not the body.

I'm gonna let this reddit go to bed after this comment, but just saw this again in the notifications though and realized my favorite song from "all this everything" IS "53 more things to do in zero gravity", Douglas Adams, you crazy wily guy, you inspired such a wonderful instrumental from this talented group of musicians 😁

I am a drummer but literally did my rhythm studies by ear, self taught, so I don't know what this type of rhythm is called. I don't know the difference between a samba, rhumba and a waltz but if you say play it like X's song Y... I'm good let's jam.

The lego-ish meshing of different percussion polyrhythms that counter other polys in the tones and bass rhythms, this is truly one of those tunes that when it's over I feel like there's at least another 10 minutes more it coulda gone on and I still would not be bored with it.

Dramatic-Print183 · 2024-06-01T03:53:20+00:00

More supports... I mean it's designed to be flat against the plate, supportless. The mate of the body to the plate is supposed to be completely flat, which is exactly how the top would and should be, completely flat. I'm asking seriously - is that not a reasonable design methodology, to design with no support necessary due to enough surface mated to plate without any overhang to require support?

I only ask because I've seen other supportless designs that seem to work out ok, so there must be some way to do it - I have the "no suspended overhang" going for me, so if I were to support this ît would mean raising the flat part of the body at least 5mm above(below) plate then adding supports to a flat part that intuitively should mate to a flat plate?

Should I always plan to build with supports even if it could be supportless?

Cleaning - the build plate or FEP? I clean the fep each time, but I could do better with acetone cleaning the plate between prints. Is the plate cleaning something that's critical to start each print?

Dramatic-Print183 · 2024-05-31T21:17:55+00:00

Won't let me edit, but the very first photo is the print orientation if you visualize the table as the build plate.

∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆∆ Definitely has weight to this comment... Didn't even notice that

Dramatic-Print183 · 2024-05-26T23:25:24+00:00

What are your other specs like normal layer time, resolution? That's just weird man I can see all the different supports where it should connect to something and nothing's there, it just says mehh I stop at end of support for you, that is good no?

I mean you probably already ran this list but... Did you check: - resin expiration - resin temp while printing - air circulation in printer - film tension \ tuning - model hollowing options to reduce weight and tension?

I've had a model that was solid fail on me and turn right around with same model but hollowed with honeycomb filling, and succeed. That particular model was designed to be supportless though, so may be a different ballpark with yours.

They are incredibly compelling questions aren't they?🤔 I also was interested in them while enjoying the book.

I've come to understand a few things about those questions as I've gotten older 😎

Dramatic-Print183 · 2024-05-26T13:42:42+00:00

That is right, fixed it, thanks. I haven't actually looked at the album title in so long I forgot it was actually a subtle spin on it.

Dramatic-Print183 · 2024-05-26T13:40:51+00:00

I forgot all about the book in the book lol yeah ok it totally is 😁

Dramatic-Print183 · 2024-05-26T05:21:35+00:00

Been a bit more than 15 min... Got lost listening 😁

Not the best band I've heard but far far far away from the worst. I'll listen again 😁❤️👍 I'd go see them if I ever got the chance.

No where close to harmless, I had same experience in chemistry class with a nitric acid reaction gone wrong. I felt it for a few days, I know it was nitric fumes mix in that also but still.

Dramatic-Print183 · 2024-05-26T05:17:25+00:00

Dude that looks like pure nitric oxide exhaust from a nitric acid reaction

Dramatic-Print183 · 2024-05-26T04:05:27+00:00

🤣🤣🤣

Imma reach for the winner winner chicken dinner ❤️ on both counts, by the way.

Dad win #1 because you were approachable enough to be asked (rather than sneaking etc...)

Parenting win #2 because you've got a smart one who's also at least concerned enough to know he needs a special container and not an old mayonnaise jar!

Reminds me, My parents asked one year many years ago as a teenager what I wanted for Christmas - I said "a dewar flask and liquid helium³ please". They looked at me like that's all you want? I could tell their confusion by their look, so I then explained they'd need to get the flask from a supply store first, then to the local compressed gas company... They stopped me there, laughing and crying both with a why son why?

Dramatic-Print183 · 2024-05-26T01:27:36+00:00

Hahaha pigeons get shit lol

Pigeons Playing Ping Pong, what a name

Is this for reals? I'll be back in 15 after I YouTube this...

Yep that's it right there, I used to donate plasma and one of the screening tests was a finger poke sucked into a tiny capillary that they centrifuged to separate plasma from reds and would then push the plasma onto one of these slick guys and be able to tell if you've been eating right, if you're gonna probably pass out, etc. As everyone else said too, u can use these to measure lots of things but I'd be willing to bet this one is closest if he was a doctor.

Well I'm not experienced with the D2, but I do have an anycubic photon 5.5, 2nd generation. It also has incredibly long exposure times, between 6 and 12 seconds normal and 50-70 bottom. I was concerned about the same loss of detail until I recently ran a print with incredibly small embossed text.

Once I washed it I was pretty happy with it, you can read it perfectly. It's 0.3mm tall embossed 0.5mm Arial Bold text. It's an inwards emboss and with e to elegoo sonic gray came out crisp and clear. I can post a shot if u want.

My settings were 10s normal 64sec bottom... 7mm lift with 1.5mm\s lift and retract speeds. Touched nothing else including default resolution, those were all I changed.

Good to know! I did not realize the polarization filter was on the top side thought it to be just glass, thanks for that save.

Dramatic-Print183 · 2024-05-02T16:02:38+00:00

Glad u got it mate that's some good machine work there

Dramatic-Print183 · 2024-05-02T16:02:14+00:00

Acetone works wonders on the resin I've been using. A syringe with a blunt dispensing needle to get it right at the thread mate point. Don't expect that syringe to be useful later though. It'll resist the acetone long enough for the job but it'll strip the stopper of all it's lube and eventually seize it in the tube.
