I’ll walk through exactly what I did to make this happen:
- imported a bunch of .obj files
- set them all up for tough resin
- saved the file
- printed them
- shutdown preform and windows.
** next day ** - started windows, and preform
- selected black @ 100um during startup
- loaded previous file which was in tough, it assumed it should be black now, and color changed to show that.
- I did a save as, and deleted all but one object
- edited the supports on that object
- went to layout, duplicated object so now there are two of the same object.
- saved the file
- went over to the printer and plugged in its USB cable into the windows box so I could print.
- went back to the windows machine, and WTF!?
** All supports were gone!
** resin changed back to old setting of tough @ 50um
Plugging in the printer reverted my file in a very odd way. I then chose ‘new’ from file menu, did not save file before clearing workspace. I re-opened the file again (I had saved it just before plugging in the printer), and voila, it was fine, saved in black@100 with all supports just as I had created them. The printer was plugged in when I re-opened the file. I hit print, and it’s now printing.
What the heck was that all about?
- The printer had not been turned off since the last print.
- I always only plug the printer in to send data to the printer.
