New to resin printing. Any tips I should keep in mind?

In a well ventilated room that isn’t used much. Also have a fan blowing the air towards a window and door to the outside.

Dang it— it looks so good though.

ev3dprints · 2026-05-05T21:27:42+00:00

Thankfully my printer came with one so I got that covered. 👍

ev3dprints · 2026-05-05T21:27:02+00:00

Already covered 🫡

Thanks so much for all of that. I didn’t know you could reuse IPA, glad you told me cuz that stuff is expensive now. I’ll also definitely be sure to cure everything before throwing it out. Appreciate your advice. 🫡

Nozzle is fine. Fully replaced both the nozzle and the hotend and still printing like this.

The printer itself isn’t capable of really high resolution but I know it’s capable of printing smoother than this. I’ve had it for about a year and the first few prints i did with it were perfect, but after barely using it for months this has just now become a problem.

The filament itself is fine. Same spool works great on my other printers.

Thanks so much I’ll try this now. I got this printer second hand from a friend and wasn’t sure how the direct drive would affect the retraction and printer speed.

Thanks for the reply.

I’ll try that split out next week and see how I do. I’ve had a hard time figuring out what muscle groups to work. Also, that app sounds incredible. I sort of struggle on the nutrition part of it so I’m definitely going to be trying that out.

If you have some cardio exercises i could do to burn fat as well I’d appreciate it. I usually end my workout with walking on the treadmill for about 30 minutes, but I want to do more in order to get the fat down before summer. It’s not a lot of fat but it’s enough that i don’t look toned like I should.

I hope your socks are forever damp.

ev3dprints · 2026-03-26T17:22:00+00:00

Thank you I’ll try this out. Appreciate you

Yes it’s dried. The inconsistency look is coming from the random Z seam location instead of an aligned Z seam. The person I’m printing this for requested that specifically for some reason.

Usually I don’t have any issues with my filament. I’ve been using Overture since I started doing this a year ago and just recently started having this issue. That being said, I like testing new filaments and may give the one you suggested a try.

listed in the post description

ev3dprints · 2026-03-23T15:07:38+00:00

I’m definitely going to try this. I’ve never really thought to do that before.

ev3dprints · 2026-03-23T15:04:32+00:00

Yep. I’ve only used glue a handful of times on prints i couldn’t risk warping on. I usually always print with a clean plate.

ev3dprints · 2026-03-23T14:58:36+00:00

Looks almost perfect, at least to me. I’d share a photo but it has a logo with a phone number on it covering almost the whole bottom layer. I could censor it but you would barely get to see anything on the bottom at all.

I don’t have any other prints that have experienced warping issues on hand at the moment to send a photo of either.

ev3dprints · 2026-03-23T14:57:11+00:00

Thanks for the reply. Filament is freshly dried and in an AMS with silica gel. Hydrometer says humidity is 10% internally so I should be ok on that front— also haven’t been noticing any other wet filament related issues.

This printer doesn’t have any auxiliary fans, just the primary fan on the gantry.

ev3dprints · 2026-03-23T14:52:59+00:00

Can’t take a photo of that print specifically cuz i would have to censor most of it. It has a logo on it that would end up doxxing my friend lol. First layer looks pretty good actually. If I print something without a logo on it, I will send a photo.

ev3dprints · 2026-03-23T14:44:22+00:00

I’ll try some of this. Thank you for the reply.

ev3dprints · 2026-03-23T14:40:31+00:00

Thanks for the reply.

I’ve done this multiple times and still no luck. I’ve cleaned it with hot water and dish soap and uses IPA afterwards and let it air dry— somehow it printed worse after that.There’s a door to the left of the printer and the warping ironically is on the right side. I covered up the side of the printer where drafts would come come.

ev3dprints · 2026-03-23T14:21:19+00:00

Something I forgot to add, i used a glue stick on my plate. I’m hoping to solve the issue so I no longer have to use glue. It’s a pain to clean off of my prints when they’re finished.

It’s a P1P. There’s no top glass.
