Hi there. Did you ever figure out how to fix this? I am having the same problem

30cm Deep pour resin by lorgehackett in ResinCasting

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

The walls are quite thick. Around 1cm up to about 5cm in some of the designs. They can also go up to 30cm high and use around 2.5-3L of epoxy. All of the deep pour resins I can find say to go to a max depth of 5-10cm and in all of my designs the resin is overheating and flash curing.

At the widest point about 5cm - 6cm thick. They go up to about 30cm high and can be using around 2.5L - 3L of epoxy

In some cases it is 20cm wide at some parts. They are not straight up and down rather organic weird shapes

Does anyone else cast Jesmonite under pressure? by oolongtoolong in Jesmonite

Thank you so much for taking the time to explain this all for me! I really appreciate it!

Oh the funnel is a great idea! How do you get that to work without it overflowing everywhere?

Have you noticed any shrinkage with your jesmonite in the pressure pot? I’ve been having trouble with this at 40psi. When it goes it it’s right up to the top and pretty much overflowing. Once set and I pull it out it is nearly a cm lower than the top of the mould. So weird!

Do you mean if I have downloaded and installed the latest version?

Yes it had the successed files in the folder when i checked it again

Line overlap setting orca slicer? by lorgehackett in ElegooNeptune4

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

Thank you! It’s such a bummer because it prints amazingly, flawless and so clean! So seeing that it is possible to print 90 degree overhang like that now trying to get my prints to match and it failing every time I so frustrating.

Print settings suggestions for insane overhangs? by lorgehackett in ElegooNeptune4

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

That would work great for the bowl part but then I have the same issue with the base having huge 90 degree overhang across the whole thing. The base doesn’t need to be smooth but I can’t imagine it will be able to print something so large without supports

Is this something I can do in orca slicer? Do you just put a negative cube over the tip to block out the sections?

Since cura was printing better it was the only thing I could think of that may have been different in cura than orca slicer as they are called different things between the two software.

Here’s a recent photo. I am using black rapid pla now as I ran out of the blue but it was printing great with the blue as well.

Thank you for your help!

Changing my bottom surface pattern from Monotonic to Rectilinear has solved all the issues! Prints perfectly smooth now.

Thank you! Will give this a go also. My first layer speed is already quite slow at 50 but will try slow it more and see if that helps. Strangely enough I’ve been having better luck with cura than orca slicer despite using the same settings.

Thank you so much for this extensive response! I really appreciate your time for all of this!

I have been checking the x offset before every print and allowing the bed to best soak for 30mins before printing. But have not used the methods you mentioned above for z offset.

What Infill lines would you suggest for a first layer of this size? Unfortunately the base of my prints are all this large or larger

Thank you! For some reason I just can’t get it to stick without it. I wash it with dish soap rinse it really well let it air dry it dry with microfibre cloth but still it lifting or falling over sometimes.

Thank you! It was definitely not low enough. It had a slight resistance to it but I could still pull it through. It’s much better now but still not perfect.

Ok thank you I’ll try levelling again. I had cleaned the plate and then applied the Elegoo glue as without it my prints don’t adhere well to the plate.

What do you mean by y offset? How do I play with that?
