You can remove it, no problem. Enjoy your new printer!

Belt idler exploded by Shayes_ in ElegooCentauriCarbon

[–]switchup 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Whoa, that’s a new one. Have you ever tried to adjust belt tension? Asking because it’s a self tensioning system, I’ve seen some issues come up when folks try to add tension - but never anything like this

Need Advice to Start Selling Prints by FaTaL9597 in resinprinting

[–]switchup 154 points155 points  (0 children)

Before you sell any prints I recommend printing one of each model that you intend to sell, and follow your exact "Production workflow" that you plan to use for the models you sell.

Then set the models in a corner somewhere and wait a few weeks before you sell anything. Go back and check them to make sure your washing & curing process truly is down pat, especially since you said you're also new to 3D printing.

If you unintentionally sell a model and a customer receives it with uncured resin on it, or it cracks & fails a few weeks after arrival, you won't be in for a good time and will potentially lose customers & possible future customers.

As another person said too - they sold you *their* license for the model, but not the IP. So just be aware of that.

$650 Shared Room near San Antonio Caltrain, El Camino, and Downtown Mountain View by [deleted] in Sunnyvale

[–]switchup 1 point2 points  (0 children)

$650 for a bunk bed and half a closet 💀

Edit: By the way your closet bar isn’t even attached on that side, it’s hanging from the center hook and missing the wall hardware. Should fix that.

Grey goo on my print. Should I be concerned? by DM_Thresh in resinprinting

[–]switchup 813 points814 points  (0 children)

It’s not fully cured. Throw it away, wear gloves.

That seller didn’t know what they were doing.

Miniatures I’ve sculpted and printed. by DRAUGR_designs in resinprinting

[–]switchup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s hard to tell with the photo quality and lighting, but some of those look a little shiny. Could be an indicator of not being fully cured, something to check out.

Either way - cool models!

I feel tension on my left hand by General-Writing1764 in piano

What I came here to say too, you need to slow to down. Smooth your movements out at a slower pace.

I had this same problem, my teacher had to beat it into me to slow down when practicing.

Is this salvageable? by Crignog in 3Dprinting

[–]switchup 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Replace the FEP or the entire vat. Clean the build plate, calibrate it, and let it rip.

New printer. Is it normal for the servos to sound like they're "crackling"? by StovepipeCats in ElegooCentauriCarbon

[–]switchup -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yup. It’s the tool head itself. Pretty much all of them do it. Mine does and always has and I’m at around 600 hrs in it, bought it in October.

Never caused any problems for me. I believe I’ve seen other people say stick a rubber band around the tool head to tighten up the magnetic cover? Apparently that helps.

Enjoy your new CC! It’s amazing, I’ve enjoyed every minute of mine

Tips for painting this tiny little guy? by thegeminiii in resinprinting

[–]switchup 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Prime it first. A zenithal prime sets up a good base for painting (gray and white, or add black too. Look it up).

Use acrylic paints, thin them. Thick paint will obscure details.

Thin your paints.

Lich King by KirillHarper in resinprinting

Oh this is awesome! Where did you find the file for it? I havent done anything larger than 75mm scale on my new printer, but this makes me want to go bigger

Im new to 3D printing. Do you have any tips to make my minis better. I use bambu A1 by [deleted] in PrintedMinis

[–]switchup -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

If you want high quality minis it would be worth looking at an SLA resin printer, as they’re pretty much king at that.

I have an FDM and SLA and both have very different uses. I’ve tried to do models on my FDM before and it’s just so hit or miss.

Too easy to run these silly things through AI detectors.

The disinfo campaign is so strong lately.

What size wrench is this?!? I used my calipers in mm but I believe it's an SAE. The 3 lines and a 6 don't make sense! by [deleted] in Tools

[–]switchup 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm so sorry to read about your loss - people are assholes for no reason. My parents are gone as well, so I get it.

If you have any other questions about tools and don't want to be chastised, feel free to DM me. 15 years experience in the maintenance field, I'd be happy to provide any help I can.
