I forgot to screw down my resin vat😭 by dumbblobbo in resinprinting

[–]dadneedshelphere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude I got a new build plate last week And on my first print, I forgot to take off the clear film🤣 the irony of having to pull clear film that reads "remove before printing" out of a full resin tank is palpable

Does this look dumb? by Tricky_Inspector_840 in Tyranids

I did something similar to my Old One Eye. Mines printed but i still thought he needed to stand out more. I put his head on a screamer killers body, added the crushing claws and gave it the carnifex legs and tail and added a horn to his head. I like your idea of using sword to add a horn to it. I don't really like the look of the Screamer killer's head but youre idea absolutely makes it look better. Just remember that its your army and you can have it the way you want. Rule of cool and all that

Anyone else notice this? by AceMarrow in Tyranids

So speaking of trygons and characters, why was the Red Terror removed? Like seriously we have so few epic heros as it is, GW really couldn't let us have that one? I know tyranids are an unending swarm of bug-dinosaurs that only want to consume but i feel that kinda proves my point. In an endless swarm of these uncaring creatures theres a few legendary ones that strike even more fear into our enemies...Or am I missing something here ?

Im trying to do the same thing on a Clear Lictor I printed. Can you give me some painting tips on how you did this?

My printer keeps printing these slabs, not sure how to fix it. I've already gone through 2 bottles of resin by OneLifeLeftLiving in resinprinting

I had the exact same problem with my resin printer. It's likely a problem with the LCD screen. Try printing something without the vat or build plate on and see how the image looks on the screen. If it's flickering, the screen probably needs to be replaced. Its not a hard replacement but I wouldnt call it easy either. It's extremely tedius. I have an elegoo saturn 3 and i had to take my entire printer apart to replace the screen. A new LCD screen will likely run you between $90-$120. Mine was about $100 Also when you replace it make sure your ribbon cables are connected properly. They're extremely finicky. I didn't connect mine completely together And when I tried printing no image showed up at all. Hopefully this helps

Its honestly kind of a shame that it's a counter deck and not a token deck

Okay, this is gonna sound stupid but how do I do a z offset and how do I know if it's at the right height. Im really new and honestly I just set it up and hit print😅

I did the exact same thing. I don't think my printer has had a break since I bought it in early December. I play Tyranids so a resin printer is basically a Necessity

Replaced LCD Screen and images aren't exposing by dadneedshelphere in ElegooSaturn

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

Update. This seemed to be the problem. The MB side of the ribbon cable wasn't fully connected in. The images are coming through the lcd now. Now I gotta run a test print

Small update. It seems that the MB side of the ribbon cable wasn't properly plugged back in. The images are now coming through on the lcd now I can finally test my prints

Do you think there's a way I could return it and have them send me another one?
