I have a lot of time experimenting in 3D printing on Form1 +, more than a year.
I want to share with you our experience in quality printing and show my results. It was hard work, a lot of time and nerves has been spent. (I apologize in advance for my English)
Do not rely only on the automatic supports!
To get good results do not always rely only on those automatic supports offered PreForm. Especially when you print something delicate and small, such as these miniatures.
Always double check the layer by layer all the overhanging part on the model. In most cases, the delicate small parts do not have supports at all or they are too close and stick together, always use the manual adding supports.
If some parts of the model does not stick to build platform, it is possible in the room where you are printing too cold, I use a hair dryer to heat build platform and resin and only after that I started to print.
Experiment!
For more accurate printing with gray resin I use the black resin settings.
All models in these pictures have been printed in 50 micron using the black resin settings .
That is some amazing artwork! Very useful tips and tricks. Thank you so much. Will definitely be trying the black settings on grey resin on my Form 2 and see if that works also.
In MeshMixer do you build the supports or is there some automation by the software?
Yes, I use Meshmixer because it saves more than 20% of resin but not use a fully automatic method, since automatic way can lead to fail especially if the model is hollow
Yes, its the largest from that you saw, but in the project will be larger and more complex models. I really hope that after the successful implementation of this project, you can get all of our experience here.
