just got the printer second hand and i'm trying to figure out why the print fails. i am new to Formlabs.
seems to print just fine close to the build plate but the further away it gets it fails.
if anyone can point me in the right direct it would be greatly appreciated.
Hi,
in your video the laser looks fine to me, no visible flare.
Your printing result indicates old resin: The first and the “early layers” (first 50 with clear resin profile) get exposed multiple times and therefore print fine. At the later layers your print fails because the resin doesn’t get enough exposure to cure sufficiently.
Shake/mix your resin and try to print with the black resin profile because it has a higher exposure than the clear profile. Try it with a small object first to minimize potential tray damage due to overexposure.
You also have the option use OpenFL to fine tune the exposure.
The Form1+ has issues with dust, that’s very likely to be an issue, you’d need to clean all of the mirrors
