Thanks for all the replies!Just woke up to start again.I recalibrated the printer to 37xy last night. I will start with the Kudo calibration model today. I’ll rework my slicing to match at 37, check my...

I am at 100microns x/y/z and my focus is spot on, with my calibration block measuring almost perfect (meaning off by less than 0.05mm).Looking at the bottom of the vat while printing the white is nice...

Also, it does appear to match the entire 100um 1920×1080 area. I always make sure that when I have the software on and the projector before a print, that the lens of the projector is covered. If you...

I think the picture is a little deceptive and the film tore when I removed it but it covers the majority of the vat bottom (I assume since the projector is less intense in the corners it cures there...

Panagiotis,You are not the only one who has this problem. I have this issue, too.I have 3DM-ABS and 3DM-DENT resin. When I printed it took around 4-5 hours and I saw the thin half-cured layer at the...

ihkim,Thank you for responding, its helpful to know I am not the only one having this issue.I think the more reactive (sensitive to light) resins will show more of this problem, if using the same...

Fan still stops, the sequence is once print is finished/ load new file/turn on DLP the fan either does not turn on or turns off soon after, not sure which one…anyhow this problem with fan seem to be...

Panagiotis,Based on my observation, I think reflected white light is not that significant compare to ambient light in display frame area from the projector.As I mentioned in previous reply, I tried to...

jkao,I didn’t check my laptop computer. But, the laptop (Samsung) has its own graphic control panel. I changed to have smaller gamma or brightness, that doesn’t change the projector ambient light...

I started to look at the Brightness, Contrast, and Gamma settings but I don’t see enough of a noticeable change to feel this is going to have any real effect on solving the problem.Sure you can change...

Panagiotis,I am testing with ND filter for 3DM-DENT resin. First print looks good. No thin layer found. But is was only 1 hour 30 min job.I am testing again which takes 4 hours. When I printed first...

Yes to clarify, when I changed my B/W settings or gamma, I did this on the projector and the one menu item that seemed to have enough affect was the brightness control which I took down 2 or 1 notches....

Tonight I tried printing with Form Labs Clear Resin. At 100 micron X, Y, Z resolution the exposure time is in minutes, not seconds. It is also very thick, somewhere between Makerjuice and corn syrup....

I’ll be interested to see whether those supports still come out with the Form1+ clear resin. The other clear resins I’ve tried all act as a light pipe for DLP and the supports expand into a solid layer...
