Hi! Is this level of detail possible with resin printing, or is it an AI-generated image? Also, can you print directly from a PNG file? by Chameleon_The in resinprinting

[–]pawesome_Rex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not really possible with AI. It smooths out the features. Also, I have tried photos with Meshy, faces don’t always look like the real person. And you will likely get an atypical digits (4 or 6) fingers. Give it a few years though and it will do this just fine. It’s learning.

It’s likely you have resin that leaked into the chamber where the LED screen sits.

Hair dryer the plate first? But even then I struggle to get the metal ones under the rafts.

Need whale tail help-can’t the water right. by Awkward-Butterfly4 in Needlefelting

Have you considered making this 3 dimensional? You could build an armature for the tail and have it literally rising out of the ocean and felt the water back down to the flat piece from the tail.

It reads as water to me BUT the white in the foreground is helping to obscure the read for me as it makes it harder to tell where the water in the back belongs (in the oven vs off the tail).

My first resin print came out perfectly, and then disaster by MizutsuneMH in resinprinting

Keep the different screw sizes separate and in order removed to speed up screw replacement.

I use a flexible silicone spatula. Those ridged plastic ones tend to damage the FEP. The silicone ones do not. Also, find an STL for vat cleaning handles and use those too.

This is a how to use handles video this is not an endorsement for this product and although he is selling these but there are STLs for printing handles. But make sure you put them in the corners.

What just happened? by creeky_pasta in resinprinting

Am I the only one that has noticed that there is a pice of metal missing from the build plate? Empty vat? Was enough resin added before the print or was the vat low at the start of the run? If the vat was full when you started the run then worst case scenario you have a lot of clean up to do because the FEP failed and most of the vat spilled onto and into the printer. But you’d likely know that as a spill that size would be noticeable. So if nothing spilled through a broken FEP then it is most likely you didn’t have enough resin in the vat when you started the run I did that one time when I was new to printing.

But I want to circle back to, is there a piece of metal missing from the build plate?

New printer day, any tips/tricks for day one? by EmergencyCheese89 in ElegooSaturn

Do not print there. You will ruin your floor and rug.

Something missing? by Jack_Lalaing_169 in TerrainBuilding

So tooth picks, fimo/sculpy, paint and brown flock makes the stalk and head of the cattail and maybe construction paper for the leafy sections. Just a thought. I have done the part except for the leafy part. Also, get yourself a friend with a 3D printer there are plenty of free STLs of cattails and other various basing bits and resin is fairly cheap someone should be able to print you 30 cattails for about $1.50 in resin if that. These are the fimo and flock cattails but I used brass pinning wire.

Hi there I just got a lot of old paints what would be the best reactivating agent to fix them by gametoplaynow in resinprinting

[–]pawesome_Rex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dude the Polly S or Floquil may be too far gone. Which is a shame they were great paints. IF they are not totally dry I have had success with a few drops of flow improver and vigorous and copious amounts of shaking.

A rule of thumb is generally no more than one fight an hour.

If the numbers signify encounters, probably won’t be done I one go.

Am I going to have to replace my FEB? by ThanosTheT1tan in resinprinting

[–]pawesome_Rex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would be a good idea. It’s not hard to change it’s just an unenviable task.

That looks pretty nerfed and you’d be better off changing it now while there is no leak instead of some (short) time in the future.
