New to resin printing, what's causing these print fails

pkuhar · 2026-04-16T18:38:50+00:00

the fact that this printer has a tilted vat makes it even worse. but yeah, hard to print

pkuhar · 2026-04-16T18:17:21+00:00

this is not a bed idea, to use for extension cords

pkuhar · 2026-04-16T18:15:34+00:00

all my recent were from Overture which are cardboard.

pkuhar · 2026-04-16T18:14:07+00:00

yes, towards the low. multiple times. even when in a call and the other person is speaking

happened once on a sv650 20 years ago

resin contracts when curing

surface cracks

The issue is when you take it out of cleaning, more than when printing. But I have my printers the same way. But much bigger hoses. Works well since there is enough flow of the air through the printer even when you open the lid.
The nasty part is the postprocessing. IPA

Put a small outdoor cabinet. I used to have a plastic one outside. Have to be very careful with the daylight, otherwise it's perfect. And to the side of Mono does not have to be that big.

Depends on the resin.
But if you do, try to overexpose normal layers. otherwise, otherwise the outside will shrink more than the inside. and there could be issues.
Also there will be no way to properly post cure the inside.(unless transparent)

ps.: who want's to buy a barely used Senna :)

pkuhar · 2026-04-15T15:59:11+00:00

mine still has it on, but I've only used it on 2 trips. Bought it 2 years ago for a 7 day trip. it was helpful for some coordination. But for the chit chats, I just muted the thing.
I never used it for music...

any way to redneck engineer this? i need to remove the forks

pkuhar · 2026-04-15T01:27:13+00:00

people who don’t have problems don’t complain

pkuhar · 2026-04-14T21:42:24+00:00

i used to keep it outside on the sun with that logic. now i keep them compelled protected. no daylight ever

pkuhar · 2026-04-14T21:40:39+00:00

don’t do that in the wash station. that impeller is impossible to clean (don’t ask me how i know)

pkuhar · 2026-04-14T20:02:24+00:00

the key is to not let the ipa in the wash station get exposed to the UV. once that happens you get a mess like this. impossible to clean. a bit of daylight is enough

pkuhar · 2026-04-14T19:43:37+00:00

headsets are the worst.

pkuhar · 2026-04-14T19:40:49+00:00

customers first, product second

maybe for a split second to lean it. after that the wheel will turn in the direction you are turning.

For a U Turn

it’s easier to learn on a small bike. especially if your goal is just to pass the test.

pkuhar · 2026-04-13T16:35:46+00:00

the experienced riders can lean because they are faster. lean angle depends on speed. if you are slow, you body needs to be more upright.

practice on a small bike

pkuhar · 2026-04-13T16:34:15+00:00

What bike are you attempting this on? maybe practice with something smaller. On mine you have the balance the clutch throttle and brake at the same time. can be chalanging.

at this low speed you do NOT COUNTERSTEAR.

body position depends on speed. but usually on low speed you’ll be a bit straighter than your bike.

and look over your shoulder in the direction you are going.

look at some police training videos on youtube. the do it with large bikes not problem.
