Alright, so this last week I’ve been in vain; trying to print. Frustration aside; I’ve encountered everything from flakes, explosions, and all kinds of errors and broken prints in general. At first I thought this was the facing or vents, but I’m more inclined now to seek fault somewhere else. I’d like if you’re so kind your opinions on this.
See, I’ve never gotten good results from the black resin. Only from tiny prints. I’ve been trying to conserve gray resin since It’s rather hard to import and so far it’s given me good results. Saving it for something good basically. I tried to print something decent this time with black now that I got a replacement printer from a repair a bit ago. It’s a long story but after fiddling a lot with supports, vents, orientation, and more: I’ve been getting strange results.
A short story of fail: After re-positioning, re-checking, adding new holes, and thoroughly cleaning the insides. Frustrating. A new talk clouded (They cloud so fast) from all this.
Tired, I tried the test clip, but I did a little change. I noticed smaller prints that didn’t go much up in height actually gave good results. (fittings and joints for the toy I’m trying to prototype worked perfectly). I tried the clips in a smaller scale:
PERFECT print. And I spread these through the bed to test. I cleaned the resin tray as it is customary… To find a Strange Gooey layer; almost half- catalyzed. I filtered all the resin. You can see some of the collected goo (looked so much scary on the tank) on the filter.
Alright. Resin filtered. Printer Super-cleaned. Hopeful, managed to try it again with the head. Silly me.
Well, an amazing failure.
I’m trying again now with the gray resin that worked some days ago, hoping for better results. Maybe that way I’ll know if it’s something to do with the resin. If anyone here’s got ideas, I’ll be very glad to hear them since I’m to be honest: Dismayed.
