What do you know, I got a really good print from the hard vat last night!I did three things – the main question is on my settings – any suggestions on tweaking them to speed up the print somewhat? (I...

Here’s a pic of the prints. Note that the sheet on the bed on the left broke off, but that wasn’t the fault of the printer. I thought it was tight to the bed beneath it, and instead it printed a .1 or...

You probably only need the 100 second exposure for the very first layer rather than the first 4 layers. You might be able to skip 60 second altogether and go 30 seconds from 2 to 12.You should be able...

I completed my first print today of the Chiral ball. The z-height is too short and the ball turned out more like an a spherical ellipsoid (egg shaped, see attached photos). I used the csv file provided...

Do you have screenshots of the settings you used for machine profile in Creation Workshop and the settings you used in the Kudo3D host software?

Yep. Fine mesh is really the only important thing and I would recommend stainless steel. Also It’s nice to have a stainless steel strainer holder to put the strainer in after you have poured the resin...

@ Jacob It could be the XY is off or the Z is off. Can you tell which axis is off? If the size in the XY directions is off, your build size in Creation Workshop does not align with the actual projected...

I am guessing this may be an xy calibration issue. Is it more important to have the projected grid match the 50 micron ruler grid or for the entire projected grid to measure 96mm x 54mm? I will...

Sorry attachment size was too large, here is the screenshot of the settings.Attachments:You must be logged in to view attached files.

If you are using @Jensa‘s calibration chart, that 50 micron grid measures 96mm x 54mm. There isn’t an either/or decision as to whether to follow the grid or get 96×54. Both should be true.Can you...

Warping Issues on the base.
I’m having some issues with the base detaching and warping and am wondering if anyone has any ideas on some settings we could change. I’ve attached pictures of the prints to show how the base is...

It’s not letting me edit anymore for some reason, but I should also mention we’re using un-pigmented SPOT-HT resin.

I think your attachment layer is a bit too thick. I would recommend <= 0.1mm, especially since you’re printing at 37 micron XYZ.Also, you shouldn’t print with 37 micron Z. The linear stage in the...

Actually, looking at the Kudo3D recommended exposure times, since the suggested exposure time for 37Xy/35Z is 3 seconds, that attachment layer exposure time would be 30 seconds rather than 25 seconds....
View ArticleHow do you pause a print job, move it up to look at it, and resume?
I know about the pause button on the Kudo 3D software’s print tab. My main question is, if you pause the print job, shift over to the configuration tab and click to move the print bed up 10mm, do I...

Alright so I’ve applied your advice and gotten some interesting results. I lowered the base thickness to 700 microns which is two layers of .035mm z height which seems to be working well. I am still...

Oh wow I just noticed that the computer I’m using to print has an all black screensaver that was causing the layers to not be project after 5 minutes, which was about 1/3 into the print.

Reply To: Warping Issues on the base.
You probably need more exposure since your base is quite large. I’d try going up to 35 or 45 seconds of exposure in 10 second increments until you get better plate adhesion.Also, is there a particular...
View ArticleReply To: How do you pause a print job, move it up to look at it, and resume?
You just pause it, do whatever you want, and then when you resume, it’ll start exposing the next layer. That means that if you move the build plate, you need to make sure to move it back to the correct...
