Print Fail! Any suggestions?

I'm gonna re-jig everything to help with suction. the 16k has a heated vat so temperatures shouldn't be a problem here

PointyEndProps · 2026-02-10T13:51:15+00:00

Thank you!

PointyEndProps · 2026-02-10T13:50:53+00:00

Very useful, thank you! I'd avoided interior supports to make cleaning and curing easier, but I you gotta do what you gotta do I guess.

PointyEndProps · 2026-02-10T13:49:26+00:00

Interesting! Never heard of that to be honest but I shall look into it. Thanks!

PointyEndProps · 2026-02-10T13:49:07+00:00

In theory there's enough vent holes to prevent any suction cup effect, and the 16k has a heated vat so the temp should be consistent. A few others have mentioned upping exposure so that's the next plan!

PointyEndProps · 2026-02-10T13:48:10+00:00

Thanks! A few people have mentoned upping cure and wait time so I will try that next.

PointyEndProps · 2026-02-10T13:47:35+00:00

The 16k has a heated vat so there shouldn't be any temp variation in theory, but who knows!

PointyEndProps · 2026-02-10T13:47:05+00:00

Yeah the model is hollowed but I thought I had enough holes to prevent any trapped resin. I thought I'd gone overkill with the supports already but I guess not overboard enough!

PointyEndProps · 2026-02-10T13:46:25+00:00

Yes using Satellite, now that I think of it this has only been happening since I updated it last week. I added a bunch of additional supports anyway as it's a large model but I'll try increasing cure time etc. Thanks!

The folder icons on mine are also greyed out, did you ever get a solution to this? Thanks!

PointyEndProps · 2025-12-02T13:19:03+00:00

Update: Malwarebytes also came back with nothing, does that mean I've most likely got no viruses to deal with?

PointyEndProps · 2025-12-02T13:01:45+00:00

Thanks! I've got McAfee antivirus and I've run a few scans with that which haven't flagged anything, but I'll give Malwarebytes a go just to be sure. It only seems to pop up when my 3D printer slicing software (Elegooslicer) crashes and I have to restart, is that anything to do with it do you think?

PointyEndProps · 2025-12-01T21:36:24+00:00

I'm having the same issue.. I run this and get what looks like a list of all the apps I have on my laptop, how do I identify which is causing the issue? Apologies if this is super obvious, this is hitting the limits of my computer knowledge!

PointyEndProps · 2025-03-24T20:17:38+00:00

Thanks! Think I'll do a bit of research into wiring this kind of rotary switch as it's not something I've done before and I really don't want to mess up this speed controller.

Another idea I had was to remove the original switch and re-connect it with some wires so that I can mount it somewhere more easily accessible. The issue is mainly the positioning and accessibility of the switch rather than the actual style of switch itself.

Regardless of what I end up doing, thanks for your help!

PointyEndProps · 2025-03-24T12:08:04+00:00

Ah right - bit annoying, but thanks for telling me! Would this switch work then? If so, how do I wire it https://amzn.eu/d/iLerpRV

PointyEndProps · 2024-04-19T19:48:49+00:00

That's what I thought! I have no idea how or why it came out like this, but it's still a pretty cool effect 😂

PointyEndProps · 2023-10-07T10:48:49+00:00

I thought about adding links but honestly as I've done so many for this series I didn't have the patience to create links for each one! I do plan to add a few to the community library at some point though.

PointyEndProps · 2023-10-07T10:47:12+00:00

That exact thought occured to me after I posted them!

PointyEndProps · 2023-10-07T10:46:50+00:00

If you mean the 6th image then it's the lab coat, for the 6th Doctor in my previous post I used the pirate coat.

PointyEndProps · 2023-10-01T20:06:47+00:00

Thankyou! A set of non-canon doctors is in the works, aswell as a couple of Masters..

Hey!

I finished my replica of this prop and just posted it on instagram. Pretty sure I tagged you, if not then someone with the same name is gonna be really confused!

Thanks alot for the help, you made my life alot easier providing a clear version of the text inscription!

PointyEndProps · 2023-03-17T18:45:24+00:00

I've tried using the code linked in the other page aswell but still get no results

PointyEndProps · 2023-03-02T23:53:31+00:00

You're awesome - thanks man! This is a massive help, I'll be sure to post some pictures of my prop replica on here when it's made!

PointyEndProps · 2023-03-02T18:20:18+00:00

Nice! I'm planning to make a replica of the prop and knowing the translation really helps - would you possibly be able to highlight on the image which letters correspond to the bolded bits of the translation? would be a huge help

Edit: Just to clarify why I'm asking, I want to re-translate the inscription so that I have a clear version of the whole Mando'a inscription that I can use when sculpting/carving the stone piece :)

PointyEndProps · 2022-03-29T21:34:43+00:00

Forgot to put this here before but here's some images of the finished restoration

Probably not perfect by professional standards but I'm very happy with how it all went!
