I had the same issue and found that switching to the hard silicone vats was the only solution.Kudo recommended slowing lift speed down to 15 but this did not completely resolve the issue with the soft...

When you say that the teflon has deformed, are you saying that bubbles have formed or that the silicone itself is also deformed? Can you take some pictures of this?The soft vats are probably best for...

I tried the hard resin vat three times so far today – not one of them has successfully stuck to the build plate, even though I’ve lowered my lift speed down to 11mm/min for the first layer, then 13,...

The wrinkling you show doesn’t look like the ripple shape from lift artifacts, like seen in the roof of this 3DBenchy I printed on 2mil TPX:The way that the film is pulled to the center in all...

With the hard silicone vat, the initial layer(s) are either not sticking to the build plate, or the part is falling into the resin at some point after that. It’s difficult to tell which as there isn’t...

Hi. Sorry to bother the forum for what seems to be a very unique issue, obviously limited to my own config.I installed Kudo software (v1.43) on a laptop PC running Windows XP.It worked perfect during a...

I don’t think you should try printing on the wrinkled vat. I’ve never attempted to print on imperfect hardware before, but I think your time would be better spent removing the film and laying it flat...

Haven’t heard of anyone hitting this before, but I’d probably start by trying to reboot the computer, and if that doesn’t fix it, try reinstalling the Kudo3D software.

The teflon film itself was deformed horribly – it shows in the pictures above. I did reapply it using the technique you showed in your video, but the print failed miserably.I switched over to the hard...

I would try running it from safe mode, just to see if it works or not. That might eliminate other programs running at the time from being the cause. (So long as your safe mode still handles the two...

I did not add any pigment at this time, was able to build a print at 2.5 sec cure time, I do my ID OD test piece and found I’m not needing much more light blockage. Was thinking of adding some pigment,...

The hard vat has higher release forces compared to the soft vat, and so you’ll need to cure each layer more in order to ensure that the part can withstand the higher forces.My experience with the...

Also, if you are using pure white resin without any pigments added, you are likely to have some amount of overcure/light bleed due to the diffraction of curing-frequency light by the white pigment. The...
