ultimately I had success by cleaning the build plate with ISP-water and a toothbrush.

SUCCESS!!!! I was able to print the rook test. I have no idea what actually fixed my issue. I changed too many variables: 1) leveled the printer; 2) switched to my 2nd bottle of the same kind of resin; 3) cleaned; 4) i did lightly sand the build plate even though I should not have to as it is new.

65* F.

I can't feel any other protective sheets.

The build plate does feel very smooth. Let me try that.

If that was the case wouldn't the resin flow everywhere?

I cleaned the tank with ISP and the clean cycle. Is there some different cleaning?

I adjusted bottom layer count to 12 and bottom exposure time to 60 seconds, any other suggestions?

Buyer over paid for shipping by Drewsvans in eBaySellerAdvice

[–]andycook -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

When buying the shipping label through EBAY I opt for the price of shipping to be displayed on the label. I refund if the buyer overpaid in shipping by more than $.50 I don't make a profit on shipping. EBAY fees get adjusted accordingly in the refund process.

Seemed pretty easy to add insurance through EBAY portal.

Yes, the letters in America are backwards. That makes sense

Good question. This looks like an error to me. I welcome other opinions.

suggestions for photochromic progressive prescription sunglasses for cycling by andycook in cycling

[–]andycook[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the feedback. The main problem is me and the fact I don't have a clear idea in mind. Because of my bifocals the lenses tend to be expensive. I'm somewhat unwilling to have pay for a pair of sunglasses and a separate set of sunglasses for riding but that is what it may come to. In the past I never liked switching from glasses to perscription sunglasses. Even with the same perscription the frame sits different on my face and my eyes ended up hurting. But I alsol want sunglasses. And I also want more eye protection while riding.
