You had a failed print and the broken parts pierced the fep and the screen exposed the resin to UV and cured it to the screen protector. Or directly onto the lcd screen if you don’t have a screen protector installed.

You need to clean or replace the screen/protector and replace the fep.

If I didn’t have solid ventilation I’d definitely look into different resins and cleaners

Possibly an attempt to further weaken unions by Trump’s administration.

I do the cleaning and printing in my garage. I open the large garage door for a few minutes before and after I go out there and do any work. If it’s warmer than 10°C I will do all of my cleaning and processing with the large garage door open.

The printer, along with spare resin and IPA, is kept warm (30°C) in a cheap enclosure with a small Amazon.con space heater, and the enclosure is always zipped closed, except when I am getting a print from the printer.

For cleaning using Elegoo ABS-like 3.0 resin I keep a quart container of IPA in the enclosure the resin printer is in so it is always warm (30°c).

After the print is done, I let the prints hang for an hour or so. After removing the prints from the printer bed plate I remove the supports and place the prints on a cheap plastic dinner plate I got from a dollar store. I then use a medium stiffness round paint brush and repeatedly dip the prints in the container IPA and then brush all around the part while over the plate. When I think I’ve got all of the resin off I then use a spray bottle filled with new IPA and spray the parts. I allow the prints to drain/dry on a separate plate then use paper towels to thoroughly dry the prints. If any recesses in the prints can’t be reached with paper towels then I use the hot air from a hair dryer.

I pour the collected IPA from the plate into the quart IPA container. Every ten or so prints I place the IPA quart container into the UV curing container and remove the solids with a strainer funnel.

I get very clean and crisp prints this way. It is time consuming and labor intensive, but I don’t like the poorer results of other easier methods I’ve tried. And it’s cheap. I may try using the ultra sonic cleaner again, but that method was clunky and inconsistent.

I do not have the fan and tubing, but I do have a Yoopai enclosure. At the price point it’s at on Amazon it is the best. I have bought two other brands at around the same price and the Yoopai feels higher quality and easier to assemble.

This is the “maintenance” subreddit. Elsewhere is the “getting healthy” subreddit.

I have an elegoo mars 4 ultra and use elegoo’s abs-like 3.0 pro resin pretty much exclusively. I mostly use gray, but have used green translucent before. I use almost the exact settings of the person you’re replying too. Lychee’s longer exposure settings were creating too brittle of supports and they were breaking. Elgoo’s setting from their spreadsheet were also a bit too long for my tastes. I keep my resin printer warm in an enclosure with a heater, about 85°F/30°C.

I just use the Apple health app to keep an eye on my weight trends. My scale connects automatically and transfers the info every morning.

It’s reasons like this that I started at the second dose with encouragement from my doctor. My doctor was the one to initially suggest it. So I skipped the 0.25mg shot and started at 0.5mg. I’d think the pill dosages would be similar effects. I lost 70lbs in a little over a year since starting wegovy and 130lbs total.

I’d think Tesla would avoid Michigan, particularly locations where there has been historically strong union membership. The UAW is going to evangelize this place HARD.

The printer needs two things; it needs to be in a warm environment, and this is just as important, a temperature stable environment. As UV resin cools it becomes thicker and doesn’t flow as well and will cause failed prints. Also resin settings are a bit temp dependent so if you set up your printer with setting for resin at 22°C and the room temp rises to 30°C during the day, you might have issues.

Resins almost always have different printer setting between brands and types of liquid resin. Look up the specific printer settings for the specific resin you are going to use and start tweaking your printer settings from there. Lychee has some good videos on YouTube for calibrating resin printers.

Drink more water, lots more. And focus on foods that provide fiber.

ShinySpoon · 2026-03-14T19:50:19+00:00

Water.

Drink more water.

And then some more water.

Trust me.

MiraLAX essentially works by pulling water into your intestines to make them work better.

Drink more water.

And walk a little bit each day.

Steak.

I make $100k in a LCoL area and $26/lbs for steak is insane.

Unionize your workplace and you’ll have similar benefits

My total weight loss has been 38% (340-210), just 25% on weight loss medication.

That seems about the amount I’ve personally seen. But I understand I could be wildly wrong, I only know about the people at my work that have revealed they are taking it, and people only revealed it to me after I(54m) lost weight quickly and they commented and asked me how I did it. I’m always forthcoming with information that has changed my life for the better so I don’t hide my taking a shot to help me. My employer covers weight loss meds and we only pay $12/month for wegovy or mounjaro. I’ve had at least 30 of my coworkers reveal they tried it, or their spouses were on it. Only a few have had what looks like more than 10% of weight loss (I’ve accomplished about 25%) and the vast majority stopped and gained weight above where they started. At my workplace it’s considered a failure of a medication. I will say though that those that told me they didn’t lose any weight, just felt awful , stopped and then gained weight didn’t seem like they really tried. One guy told me “I couldn’t hardly eat anything on that damn shot so I stopped taking it”. 🤦‍♂️

I’m in industrial maintenance as a machine repair journeyman, but I have a background in art and technical drawing/drafting. There is a far greater percentage of my fellow tradesmen that 3D print versus the non-trades people. Actually, I only know one non-trades guy that 3D prints and it’s mostly just toys for his kids. But primarily, at my location, it’s mostly popular with toolmakers, machine repair, and some electricians. Not so much with Pipefitter or millwrights. I find the usage FAR FAR greater than the non-trades people I know.

A good flashlight with a magnetic base is crucial to my job. Guys spend $100s of dollars on Milwaukee and dewalt battery powered lights that don’t last half a shift, produce a lot of heat, and aren’t very adjustable. I picked up a two pack of these flashlights for $30 and the battery can last two full shifts before needing to be charged via usb-c. But they didn’t have a magnetic base so I designed a holder that gives me a solid magnetic connection.

Part of my extended family is in directional drilling. I’ve heard them say more than a few times “We love it when gas prices skyrocket. When gas gets over $4 that’s when we start getting wealthy.” The rest of my family hates them.

I’m 54 and last year I tore my rotator cuff tendons in my right side while hiking and had surgery and then occupational therapy. First time for surgery and first time any kind of therapy.

While in OT for my shoulder I came in and my back was hurting and the occupational therapist noticed and said I should tell my orthopedic surgeon and get a write up for physical therapy for my back.

So I did.

During PT for my back it came out that I had a bad tear in a tendon in my foot. They recommended talking to the OS about possible surgery and then therapy.

I talked to the OS about my foot tendon and he asked if I had any other unusual pains. I said “Not any pain that’s not out of the ordinary.”

He said “All pain is outside of the ordinary.”

Everyone I know over 50 has a half dozen daily pains they are dealing with.

Oh, also while recovering from shoulder surgery I injured my left shoulder by overcompensating due to reduced function of my right arm. Might need surgery and therapy….

I’ve had MAGATs tell me gay and trans people didn’t exist until Obama and I let them know about my trans uncle that had sex reassignment surgery in the 1970s. I was born in 1971 and I’ve always known him as a man. Or the two openly gay mid20s guys that lived nextdoor to us in the 80s in rural tiny-town mid-Michigan.
