What just happened to my model?

Support & Troubleshooting
1

Hey guys.

Our Form 1 aka. PoisedToad just arrived yesterday. (Hooorray)

We have been so pumped to get it going that we immedietaly set it up to print small models like a little Yoda and a calibration piece.

Everything worked out fine , so we decided to print a pretty large model over night.

Early morning the big disappointment.  (See the Pics)

What just happened?  Everything is printed on Clear Resin via 0.05mm

We just started a new attempt without supports. Hope this works.

Greetings from Germany.

Dustin

Edit: The last picture shows a piece that was laying on the bottom of the resin tank.

Hi Dustin,

Whenever you print anything large on the form1, it becomes especially important to angle your print in a way so that you minimize the size of the profile that is getting printed. Large profiles/slices create suction that can cause failures or if not, cause the lines that you see. Use the auto-orient button and position your model close to the hinge side of the peeling platform. If you can hollow the model before printing, even better.

Dustin,

Monger has some good advice. It looks like a delimitation problem to me where the model is under supported. If you continue to have trouble, make sure you message us at support@formlabs.com for assistance.
