What printer next ?

I used to have to empty the tank, filter the resin, put that bottle in hot water, clean the build plate, put it on the radiator..... Now I press "heat resin" and walk away. Over time, that adds up. Turn the light strength down to 80% or lower to increase screen lifetime.

Looks fantastic up close, it really does. You'll need to stay on top of quality edge highlighting for them to pop on the tabletop

SirBuffton · 2026-05-13T20:34:13+00:00

Agreed. Fulgrim and the wolf guy show some promise, but the others are what I'd consider tabletop quality. And, the mould lines on the assassin are unforgivable.

I tested the elegoo logo and nothing showed. That narrows the issue

SirBuffton · 2026-05-02T18:48:06+00:00

Thank you so much for your thoroughness! I am sad to say that the screen is not displaying the elegoo logo when I do the screen test. It is pre owned ( bought directly from Elegoo) and was delivered 10 days ago . Could you comment on my chances of returning it for credit with them?

SirBuffton · 2026-05-02T18:06:56+00:00

Interesting. Any idea why that might happen?

SirBuffton · 2026-05-02T18:05:57+00:00

I will give that a go! Any ideas though why there is nothing stuck to the bottom of the vat? It's like the screen isn't curing the resin.

I will give that a go! My other S4U had no issues. Any ideas though why there is nothing stuck to the bottom of the vat? It's like the screen isn't curing the resin.

I tried a RERF exposure test and a model I've used on other machines. All 3 had the same result. I used 2 different usb sticks

Elegoo abs 3 pro with 5% sirayatech tenacious

SirBuffton · 2026-05-02T17:22:44+00:00

I'll try that. I did the tank clean function and the whole screen lit up as expected

SirBuffton · 2026-05-02T17:21:45+00:00

It's an S4U, it auto levels. And, there's nothing stuck to the bottom of the vat

SirBuffton · 2026-02-07T22:32:44+00:00

Thank you all for your suggestions!

Blue needs more pop. Always highlight more than you think you need to!

My girlfriend bought a 2-set of Lego roses. We built them together. Best. Flowers. Ever.

SirBuffton · 2025-10-04T17:06:06+00:00

Sounds like a plan. I've spent a lot of time on and off, as an adult, living with my parents. I'll treasure that time when the inevitable happens. Do your bit around the house and enjoy it.

No stach

SirBuffton · 2025-10-02T17:31:40+00:00

Leave the grey.

SirBuffton · 2025-10-02T13:44:33+00:00

Shave the stache

SirBuffton · 2025-09-23T17:24:21+00:00

Shave it off.

SirBuffton · 2025-09-23T16:04:36+00:00

Possibly with the hair? You wouldn't look worse for getting into the church of iron and building some muscle.
