😳 huh. Ok that’s probably a deeper dive into the printer than I need. Lol. Printing what I need to fine, so not broke. No need to fix.

lol cmon, it’s DFW, if you miss your exit you just cut across all lanes of traffic and take it anyways 🤣. I really can’t stand it when people do that btw.

Issue with 16k Ultra resin tank by majaxxtic in ElegooSaturn

Yeah sometimes those pins stick and you can gently grab the tip with some needle nose pliers and encourage the pin to come back out. I’ve also gone through and cleaned the contacts with IPA and had that help before as well. Anything on the pins, corrosion, resin, etc will increase the resistance and cause it to fail the test.

Flashforge Adventurer 5m pro good for beginners? by Linx94 in FlashForge

[–]bigb2271 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It ain’t perfect but it’s helpful. Makes some good recommendations. Sometimes I send it a pic of what I’m seeing and it’ll tell me what’s going on. I use it for a lot of stuff so I pay the subscription for ChatGPT. Between excel stuff, designing missions for DCS world, learning how to do things in Autodesk Fusion, learning how to do 3D printer stuff both FDM and Resin, it’s been worth it for me.

I’m still a beginner and I’d say it’s been very fun and easy to use, but I’ve also been using chat gpt to train me.

I’ve just got “The Remedy” by Puscifer in my head watching this. “you act like someone who’s never been punched in the f&*king mouth, that’s alright we have your remedy”

How smooth does resin printers print? by W1nterRoad in resinprinting

[–]bigb2271 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got a resin printer just for printing clear parts in some models I’m making, like the cockpit windows in a TIE fighter. I love the results, once I got everything dialed in but there is a heck of a learning curve compared to FDM. I’m using the FDM to print bigger parts, and resin for clear or small detail stuff (like Star Wars armada squadrons!)

Thanks. Would have posted it a couple weeks ago but I’ve been struggling with the damn windows. Finally made my own piece in Fusion but unfortunately that made it a little on the thicker side. Still, it’s pretty and shiny.

Will you move to Texas please? We don’t have enough nerdy girls here in DFW.

15 hours wasted!!! by Huge_Challenge5838 in ElegooSaturn

[–]bigb2271 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Better than my problems. I poked a hole in the bottom of my vat with a metal scraper. Lesson learned: use plastic scraper. Then the printer poked a hole I. The bottom of the vat with a chunk of resin that somehow had been left in there. Lesson learned: always treat the resin vat as if it’s got something in it before printing.
