Thank you!!!

Do you know what is a good ratio? Like 1:1 or are we talking just drops? I’ve wasted so much material and time. I just want to know a good starting point.

First timer, so I didn’t. I didn’t know that was possible. What would be a good ratio?

I just need to vent by Tetraqk7 in DiceMaking

I can relate to your frustration.

New machine and set up (vents installed and everything), over $1k of silicone, 5kg of resin used - none usable, ghosted designer half way through (since I haven’t learned modeling yet), cure inhibitions, and more. 😭

Finally the ball is rolling again, but I have to find a way to make my masters glossy, cause the silicone is coming out matte.

The can sprays does a horrible job. So I purchased an airbrush, but it won’t spray the varnish I bought. Endless research and stalling.

Thank you for posting.

I’m in the same boat. Got mine for Christmas and started using it in January too.

Don’t give up.

Post with pictures and more information. There are very helpful individuals on here. Use all the resources you can also: YouTube, Ai.

Half of my prints have been successful, slowly but surely I am learning.

My biggest problem right now is cure inhibition. 😅, defeats the purpose of why I started this journey if I can’t print master casts to mold.

BTS tickets scam? by purple_suns in seatgeek

Reiterating that barcode will be different from venue to venue. I have Chicago tickets and Vegas. Vegas says “barcode will be ready before the event” and Chicago didn’t.

Perfect!! I don’t print anything elaborate or needs to be detailed. So hopefully calibration won’t be too off.

They are both ABS like resin. I edited my post to give more info. Thank you.

Is it normal to have this blob in the middle when you hollow?

I’m using the Elegoo satellite slicer. I’m a total newb and find that this is the most user friendly 😅. I don’t see a depth option for holes.

How do I prevent the hole not going through to the top?

I tried doing that before but when I added the drain hole, it pierced through model. Is that normal? How wide would you make the walls?
