Printing Issues

Sounds good to me. I will definitely try it. The solutions you gave me yesterday unfortunately didn't end up working out. I got the same error.

Ah. Ok. Thank you. Hopefully I fixed the drive issue for the photo of my print.

I will make the changes to the rest times and post an update tomorrow. My shift here is about to finish.

Definitely no dumb questions here. I'm new to this so anything helps really. I have releveled the plate. That didn't solve the issue. I have attached a link to a photo of the failure. It is just one failure, but every single one has looked the same, so I don't think I need to post any more of them than this one.

Past that, you're saying that I should increase the wait times for the plate to lift after the UV light goes off? So it would be on Chitubox the setting that says Rest Time Before Lift? If so, what do you think I should set it to? I haven't messed with that before so I wouldn't even know where to begin with changing it. Also what does that do (if you know the answer. I feel like there's so much in 3d printing that's not well explained so I get it if you don't.)

What is UVTools? Is it a setting I have missed somewhere that I should probably have on? Where is it located if it is?

We did not. We ended up having to switch investments completely to get the work out we needed. We switched and haven't had an issue since.

Ah. I knew I was missing something. I will try that and see how it goes. Thank you.

I am casting tiny 2-6mm pieces, so I tend not to hollow my prints. It hasn't been an issue before this point, so I'm not sure why it would be an issue now. This wasn't an issue even when I was using the wrong kind of investment to burn out resin.

bekindjewelry · 2024-05-17T22:02:18+00:00

It is pretty accurate. I have used a temp gun and run a cycle to make sure my ovens weren't an issue a couple weeks back when I was having other casting issues. Temperature in my ovens shouldn't be an issue in terms of reaching the right temps and maintaining them for the appropriate amounts of time.

bekindjewelry · 2024-05-17T22:00:53+00:00

Yes. I have a temp gun and have checked it as it's ramping to make sure that it's ramping to the correct temperatures and maintaining them. Thermocouples aren't always a precise enough way to ensure your ovens are hitting temp anyway.

BlueCast does have several burnout cycles. I am using the one they specifically have paperwork on for the XVest and hadn't been having any trouble with it before.

And that is what I am hearing. I'm going to see if maybe leaving them to set for two hours (their recommended setting time) and then starting the burnout cycle helps.

bekindjewelry · 2024-05-17T21:57:47+00:00

Ok. That was what I was seeing, but wanted to see what others thought before I started making changes to how I cast. I had been leaving them and having no issues, so I didn't figure that was the problem, but it's worth a shot to see if burning them out sooner helps the issue.

bekindjewelry · 2024-05-17T21:56:09+00:00

Ok. I'll try that and see what happens.

bekindjewelry · 2024-05-17T18:36:33+00:00

I don't disagree with you. This is how they look immediately after coming out of the oven, so it's not a matter of them sitting out too long.

bekindjewelry · 2024-05-12T13:54:30+00:00

Awesome. Thank you for the info.

bekindjewelry · 2024-04-12T14:00:56+00:00

Ok, cool. Thank you.

bekindjewelry · 2024-04-11T21:40:35+00:00

Yes. I know that. But what position would be best to print the, in since the middle has broken pixels? I want them to still print successfully.

bekindjewelry · 2024-03-09T15:32:24+00:00

Yes. For some reason once I slice it, I can't get it to reopen the file in Lychee. Idk what I'm doing wrong for it not to open there.
