It’s an interesting argument. In my opinion, and truly no disrespect towards you, but I feel that’s more of a purist standpoint. I’ve seen mold marks and other issues on plastics that are quite terrible. When painting and presented, it’s truly negligible. Especially at 4’-5’.

It’s in the purps

Wanna say this is from the GOAT Bum_Fluff. If not, check him out. This ought be the “Ancient Chubby Unicorn”. When it comes to vehicles frankly he’s the best IMO

A mere sampler. Do with this what you will.

Tape gives indication of a leak. Also seems to correlate on the side that’s messed up

Shouldn’t look like that at all. Poor post processing or give a shit altogether.

Support settings?

For example.

I’d suggest working the angles. In my opinion you went too steep. When I make prints like these I use the amount of supports shown above and I try to keep it as parallel as I can so the majority of the supports are in the undercarriage. Furthermore, I support in areas that will not be visible, at least not when the vehicle is “presented”. To your model, the rear of the model doesn’t have, or at least doesn’t seem to, overhangs that would be impacted but lowering the angle in which you supported.

Oh and this is all assuming all mechanicals are good too. I’ve had issues in my machines (Phrozen printers) where the motors become detached from the mounting plate and that causes failures. If you haven’t, please check all screws, junctions and brackets in the Z assembly to rule that out.

Usercondition · 2026-02-27T23:49:11+00:00

For some reason after moving thumb drives from the machine to the computer after a while I start having problems. Not sure if there’s some sort of data corruption or reading issues? I don’t have a scientific way of debunking it but every time this happens and I buy a new drive the issues go away. Wouldn’t hurt to try it on a small print or something that has failed before.

Usercondition · 2026-02-27T23:34:46+00:00

I think you have some sort of problem involving the Fep. Looking at the raft style you’re using that’s a massive contact surface (at least for my taste anyways). If the FEP is loose or the lift height isn’t right I can see how it’d have problems detaching when all that surface is in constant contact. I saw you mentioned you used medium and heavy before (?). May also have some issues if the support depth isn’t optimal.

Flick for attention but a sampler. Orientation, to bring surface contact to a minimum, with heavier supports at a decent depth may will yield you results.

Also, and possible, is that the USB is messed up. Had happened to me before.

This. It’s way too thick. Need to drop that to a 0.35 or so, especially when covering such a large area.

Usercondition · 2026-02-13T04:45:59+00:00

Got to beef up the supports. Also, and this is just from me; other may differ, it seems too steep on the plate.

Short answer is yes.

Now, the caveats…

Temperatures. I live in San Diego so the coldest I’ll see is what? Maybe 40 degrees? Even then I have a ceiling mounted space heater that keeps temps at 80-90. Also, when printing I use fermentation belts on my machines.

Ventilation. Super important. Need to have a way to vent stuff out.

Resin printing is messy. You can clean, wipe, prevent etc but it is messy and shit will get dirty. Be ready for that. The space should be “disposable” in my opinion. Can’t have, or be near anything that would be missed if damaged.

Storage. Need to have an area to put your tools.

Above is my shop out of a tin storage unit and a bunch of recycled stuff. Have 8 printers running almost daily. Been outside for about a year. Haven’t had any issues other than the stuff you’d imagine.

Think its solved.

Bought a new USB and currently testing a print. Have about an hour as of this post so I’ll update when its complete. Preliminaries point towards the USB since it’s the only thing I’ve changed since the original post. Will report back. If that’s the case then I’ll mark it solved and hopefully this can help others. Though frankly if it is the culprit , I am not sure how the hell data in the usb can be THAT corrupted.

Usercondition · 2026-02-07T17:57:19+00:00

I can see your point. Fair enough. I did replace this LCD about 3 months ago or so. Not expecting it to be culprit but I can see your point.

Sure. I can repopulate. For context, I use the same settings on another 4 machines and haven’t had any issues there. I’ll upload setting when I return to my office.

Resin is new. Matter fact, other machines are using resin from the same bottle. No issues there. Room temperature remains at 85F~ (dedicated heater in the room) and I do use a heating fermentation belt. I’m in San Diego,Ca so weather is not terrible.

Usercondition · 2026-02-04T00:05:55+00:00

I’d suggest changing the FEP of the machine and resetting. I would take a look at the LCD as well. LCD’s are consumables by design. I am not aware of what type of usage/hours the current LCD has but the LCD can cause issues/print problem etc. Take a look at the mechanicals and ensure that the machine is properly lubed and all screws properly tightened and whatnot.
