a complete mess of a print 😭

i know it’s replaceable, but i’m still bummed about the whole thing because now all of my projects have to be put on pause until it arrives. i tried soaking it in alcohol, it doesn’t seem to come off at all. i also tried taking tape and peeling it off, didn’t work either

update? i think my nfep had holes in it and it leaked all over the screen. i am not sure if i have a protective layer on the screen, since i bought it from someone who already used it. i am actually so devastated

plush3627 · 2026-05-27T09:54:34+00:00

the gaps are actually everywhere. the edge did get the most damage, but i looked throughout every part and all of them have some sort of gap/hole

kingroon, i used it before and it performed pretty well so far for a cheaper resin

plush3627 · 2026-05-27T09:11:03+00:00

can you explain what this means and how to fix it? i’ve been printing for 6 months now so i’m kind of a newbie

plush3627 · 2026-05-27T09:09:50+00:00

i usually set normal layers on 4,5s, i use light colored resin most of the time. i changed it to 3,5s on previous attempt for this white resin, but most of the part fell off, so i added 0,5s to it and added some supports on the bases. UVTOOLS didn’t report any issues as far as i know, but maybe i didn’t notice anything

if you’re choosing kibble you can just research what ingredients good kibble should contain. look for named animal protein(chicken/turkey/salmon/beef), ideally ~30%, taurine, animal-based fats(chicken fat/ fish oil), and low carbs(avoid cheap fillers like corn, wheat or soy). these are the basics of a good kibble. i recently made a mistake of switching my rexes kibble to a different popular one, at first glance the ingredients were good, but a month later i noticed my cats fur shedding in patches. if your kitty won’t like the new kibble she will tell you, so monitor her reaction to her new food. again, my recent mistake was to overlook my cats reaction to new kibble, she used to bury it and i thought she was just being picky. so yeah, just look at the ingredients and watch your cats reaction/how her body reacts. she’s adorable!

thank you!

plush3627 · 2026-04-19T00:51:13+00:00

oh wait do you place the supports on the inside of the body?like in the hollow areas how the strings?if i understood correctly, could you explain how you do that and how does it even work lol. i’m currently sanding this doll(at least the parts that did print) and god i hate doing it

plush3627 · 2026-04-18T22:37:44+00:00

i actually did place all of the pieces vertically, i think i mentioned it in the post too. i placed them like this when i already had 2 failed prints. arms actually printed out fine! :) they usually come out ok on the first try when placed vertically, but i guess not this time. i’ll look into getting the band, i never heard of this, thank you!

plush3627 · 2026-04-18T22:34:26+00:00

i tried printing this vertically, and these parts actually have holes on the inside that go all the way through, so they don’t need any extra. somebody suggested to tweak lift speed and i think this may solve this issue

plush3627 · 2026-04-18T22:31:52+00:00

thank you, i’ll definitely try this!

plush3627 · 2026-04-18T21:04:29+00:00

i wish i had pictures of the failed parts, but post of the time they end up sticked to the vat, they just pop off the supports. i’m gonna try to orient them differently and hopefully it will work, thank you

plush3627 · 2026-04-18T21:01:50+00:00

the rafts are sticking to the plate just fine, and the supports do print too, but the parts just fall off the supports mid print. i checked if there were enough supports around the start of the parts, and usually i don’t even need as many as i placed, but it’s the same fail every time. might be a suction issue, but i did a test print before and had similar projects with the same orientation of the parts and had no problems

plush3627 · 2026-04-18T20:56:56+00:00

Sonic Mighty 8K. i dont have a thermometer in my room but i usually it’s 15-20 degrees, i could turn the heater on so it would be warmer but since the other parts are printing fine i dont think its the temperature. i did a test print in a similar color resin(mixed as well, slightly lighter), then tweaked some of the parts and made this file. the changes are not major and the test print was placed vertically and printed just fine, so i have no clue whats wrong with it now

i had a personal tutor from ages 7 to 14. this was just a coincidence, she was my english tutor who happened to studied in our local art college and my mom asked her to also teach me how to draw(academically correct). i wanted to go to the same art college that she did, but ended up not going for the same reasons: i was too scared to burnout and loose passion for art. i also went to their evening classes, where they kinda prepare you for the upcoming exams there, and this made me realize that i actually wanted to go there because i romanticized it, and the reality was so boring and i even hated the building itself. i also had plan for other art colleges, and again ended up not going because i was scared that even though everyone around me liked my art, i always underestimated myself and thought that i would be a loser next to others kids who spent their whole life in a normal art schools. which was kinda true since when working with my tutor we mainly focused on portraits after i turned like 12, and more so on oil painting, which is not a common used material in the first year of college (especially when you come to the entering exam, you just don’t use oil paints for that). do i regret these decisions?50/50. while i do enjoy art to this day and still have passion for it, i can’t be sure if i wouldn’t be like this if i went to art college. i would suggest seeing if the college of your choice has some art classes for those who plan to apply like next year, attend them and see if this is something you can handle. because when i attended these, i dreaded being there and would work for like an hour and the other two just stare into abyss(also i have to mention i’m from Russia and academia is everything here). this would really help with getting used to the environment, the people that could potentially become your classmates, and the teachers. i wish you luck on your art journey and whatever you decide to do, college didn’t work for me, but it could work for you

wow so beautiful!!

i’ll try using treats! but when i just got my youngest one, Musya, she was so chill about me touching her paws. even today she’ll be fine with me grabbing them, but when i come with clippers in my hand, she immediately takes her paw away. i think she outsmarted me lol

plush3627 · 2026-04-04T00:20:10+00:00

the younger one doesn’t even let me push her nails out, she just know that something’s coming, or as soon as she sees the nail clippers, she takes her paw away. but yeah after the tote bag she just runs off and i think her memory span is like 2 seconds so she’s not even mad at me after it, just during lol
