3:34 Had this artifact recently. In my case it was due to not properly enclosed mesh. Basically somwhere in the model you had a submesh some of concealed by another submesh, so the faces that were never going to be vosible were deleted. This is a pretty common practice among modellers - especially for video games. Kind of a rendering optimization. Unfortunately Photon slucer seems to get confused by it. Other slicers might be less confused. Also you might want to resave the model as STL. Open it in editor and re-export agsin and it should get rid of incomplete mesh by "welding" it with other submeshes.
Mine arrived today. £162 Inc delivery and 2 bottles of 500g resin. I'm planning on putting a glass screen protector rather than the plastic scree protector.
I ordered a used mono 2k on ebay for 50 bucks and they sent me a new mono 4k. Still waiting on resin to test it out. I have an fdm printer but hard to pass up having both to cover both applications.
@@randymay I don't know why this video hasn't gotten more views it is so well made and professional, you deserve more than what the algorithm is giving you.
Thanks and I think I know why it's not haha. So this is my 2nd channel and I haven posted to it as much as I should. Check out TH-cam.com/GomeowCreations for my main channel 😊👍
@@randymay mostly figures.. My test print is finished, but there seems to be a spot that didn't print properly. well it was the first.. that can happen. Otherwise the print turned out well
Is the build plate big enough to print a xbox 🎮 shell my kids want custom ones so been after a resin one that can do fairly decent sized. Printed objects
I don't think you can fit that on this printer if I'm remembering right. You should be able to do it with no problems on something like this printer bit.ly/ElegooSaturn2Printer This printer has a good size print area and a 8k display
Yeah that does suck about the fep. I think I have seen some 3d printed work arounds for that so you can use generic ones. Also this isn't the 4k this was the 2k mono
To be fair, though, it just about was released in 2021, so if it's not worth it in the bloody year it was released, it's obviously never going to be...
I learned hard way that all mono resin printers are shite as they don't have AA properly and you will see layers on XY axis no matter how small is z axis, so you either can print amazingly with old ones or fast with new mono ones.... now I waiting for DLP ones to start selling, hopefully dlp will be combination of speed and quality
I’m looking at getting the mono x 6k. Is it a bit too much considering iv never had a 3D printer and am basically a beginner. I understand the basics but have never actually used one. Would I be better with a smaller cheaper printer first or would the 6k one be ok ?
Go small first. You can learn everything you need to first and dial in the details over time and see if the hobby is something you absolutely love. If so, you can move up in a year or so depending on your finances
Tried to watch this video, I lasted about 3 minutes.....just couldn't seem to get past your hands waving around in front of the camera.....was driving me crazy!
You don't just put the STL files on the USB drive us have to load them into a slicer program like chitubox or lychee. This will allow you get up your file for printing and save it in the right file format for the printer.
@@randymay well I figured it wouldn't be that easy. I have opened one in photon workshop, added supports, but when I save it, it is saved as a "model file" instead of a "sliced file" I'm kind of dumb with computers. So what do I have to do to save it as a Sliced file from the photon workshop? Edit: Never mind, I just had to press the giant blue layered button on the screen. Figured it out. Thanks.

Very straightforward review. Professional and to the point. Subbed!
Thank you very much and more will be coming soon. I'm moving into a new place right now 😅
My wife and Mom just got me this printer and the wash and cure station for Christmas. Can't wait to start playing with it.
Oh very nice. Let me know what you think of it and if you have questions
Bought it last month, been printing without fails just by looking at videos before it arrived, its an absolute marvel.
Oh cool, what are you using it to print?
@@randymay I'm printing mostly minis I purcahsed from RN Estudio and some WWII soldiers I love this 3D printing hobby! mine is the 4k version though.
Yes. Its a solid printer. Makes really good lithophanes
😁👍
I bought this machine in June 2021 and absolutely love it. It was my first machine and decided to back their DLP machine on KS.
Yeah I show that one and it looks really interesting. I just ordered the 8k one from phrozen so I will be making a video about that once I get it. 😊👍

That's a good deal and that is smart to protect the screen
Just got this for 150!
Very nice
Have any tips ? I ordered it yesterday, wondering if there is anything I should know
Thanks, great overview!
😁👍
Which slicer did you use for the carabes with the support flaw? Anycubic workshop or Lychee ?
I have been using the free version of chitubox and lychee.
I ordered a used mono 2k on ebay for 50 bucks and they sent me a new mono 4k. Still waiting on resin to test it out. I have an fdm printer but hard to pass up having both to cover both applications.
Oh that is cool and yeah it seems like the 2k ones just about disappeared and all of them are 4ks now. That is a very good price for one as well.
Really good video, I found a great deal on ebay so I'm gonna get it the first chance I get.
Thanks and you get whatever deal best works for you 😊👍

I got the photon mono with wash and cure for 260€(289,89 usd)
Not bad, what are you going to make with it 😁👍

the mono 4k is NOT worth it. proprietary FEP can’t use generic fep.

I believe it came out in late 2020but I could be wrong.

Yeah I would like to get my hands on one of those as well. I do have an 8k printer on the way so that might be interesting.

@@ericb7680 iv actually just took delivery of the 4K mono x. But thank you I appreciate the advice. Iv not used it yet but I just know il love it.
@@ryanflood635 way to be, bro!
The 6k it's really complicated to configure the STL files on any slicers
Why is that?
Tried to watch this video, I lasted about 3 minutes.....just couldn't seem to get past your hands waving around in front of the camera.....was driving me crazy!
Yeah that's an old problem of mine. I'm working on changing how I shoot the video and voice over so this is no longer a problem 😁👍
@@randymay Bros Talking with Your Hands 😂 Really Loved The Video I Bought 1 Yesterday Just Wondering How Too Deal With The Resin Ik It's Toxic
None of my stl files show up on the options. Just the 2 that cam twitch the USB drive. They showed up in the editor. What am I doing wrong?
