I just wanted to let you know that I love your channel. I love all the models you do.I'm still learning quite a bit, but I really appreciate everything you do
I'm new to 3D modelling I'll try these settings on auto supports today!. I'm using lychee I love it but have this chitibox and anycubic slicer but lychee works better for me but trying them all to see what's best
Very informative. I have a Saturn 2 and an M3 Max. I watched your settings video and wanted to know if the settings are universal, or do you have specifics for each printer? I'd love to know your settings for the M3 Max if you are willing to share. Have a great day and thank you!
Thanks for this, it definitely helped me a lot. I would orientate my models so the supports would be on the mating surfaces. I did this because I was afraid the supports would take away detail from the surfaces that would be seen. The problem was that my models would never fit together well. This video makes me more confident about placing supports everywhere!
Cheers man, this video was made for people like me, saved it fir future reference. It's bad enough trying to decide on what printer to get in the long run sometimes, let alone resin types, slicing softwares, how to use such software, and of course all the settings for supports etc etc AND trouble shooting/ printfails. And this is why I'm subbed to channels like you. Oh and awesome painting tutorials. 😁
I noticed on the base there were "red" areas around the front facing detail part of the pegs. Those areas aren't supported at all. And it still printed just fine? Awesome video!
Yeah so I usually dont have a problem when the support goes over slightly like that. I try not to make it a regular thing, but it happens now and then and it still prints fine.
I am so very new to this. i have watched a ton of videos to the point of over load. My question would be are you concerned with islands after you use auto supports? I am mainly doing small parts 1/24 scale car models any suggestion you have for me would greatly be appreciated
Thank you so much for your video. it has been so helpful. I have one question for you I have heard the some people are leaving their resin in the vat. Is this a good idea .Do you clean your vat out after every print?
I’d like to see the support contact points close up. When I use mediums, even with a contact size of .40mm and a depth of .10 they show like crazy and require a lot of clean up. Any idea why? Thanks for the video.
I'm not sure, and I'll take a look. Maybe from the angle? I don't have any issues with a lot of clean up with mine. I'll post a follow up on this message if I find out once I research it.
I use 0 penetration on all supports. Consider the time you are exposing perhaps it’s a little too long and it’s baking the supports? Resins are very different too of course. I mainly use Syria Tech (Fast/Tenacious 25% mix) and Phrozen 4K. I do use a little hot water for about 30 seconds and they come off super easy. I will sometimes use a heavy support on the initial build plate contact for large heavier pieces to ensure they don’t pull off. If there are dimples I apply a small amount of resin, ultraviolet flashlight and a quick sand. And as mentioned orientation can eliminate a lot of cleanup. Hope that helps!
Hi great video. Why when i use auto supports, it create supports also inside the hollowed model? I have to manually remove them piece by piece evrytime.
The newest version of Chitubox doesn’t allow you to change the support density. What settings am I looking for in its place? Also, on a hollowed out model with 5% infill I’m still getting auto supports inside. Is there a remedy for this? I have Chitubox basic.
fantastic video, really helped me understand some extra things about orienting a print, for the photon mono x what would your exposure settings be? still 3.5? im currently running 2.4
I love the settings for the supports. It's soooo much easier to remove after print. I have one question, I keep getting tacks heads (area supports pulling from resin print) on some parts. What can I do to fix the problem...I'm printing on Elegoo Saturn and Saturn 2
That's somewhat normal, but of they're too big then check the settings on the base of the support going on the model. You might be able to tweak that a bit.
Awesome tips. It’s crazy how you never use light supports lol. Do you ever get failures using auto supports with only medium? I can’t imagine not using heavies to anchor and lights for details.
Here's a question: Lychee or Chitubox? Also, is the Linant a Chitubox-locked system? So if I'm used to Lychee, then I need to take that posed and ready STL and slice it in Chitubox to print on the Linant? Thanks!
@@TheCreativeCollector I have a Saturn right now and I'm trying to find a larger replacement. The Deck seems like the logical choice over the Sonic Mega 8k. Have you used that printer?
Hey bro, great video, however... I always get small little dents from the support tips. You pull them off effortlessly, but when I try to do that, I get dents in my resin print, which I have to putty. Very annoying. Any tips for that?
I get those sometimes, but I can usually sand them away with my Gtool. It happens a bit with heavy supports, so I use medium most of the time. I dialed down my exposure time a little and it helped with this a lot. Now they basically just fall off.
I have been a B3Dserk patreon for 3 months and next month I will finally buy my resin 3d printer (0 experience). This helps a lotttttttttttttttt, thank you so much! I was planning to use the files from the pre supported chitubox directory hahaha. Just one doubt when I was "playing" with the pre supported files there were 2 directories "50" and "100", with different sizes, which are the scales for each one, plus are the non supported files?
Great to hear! I'm glad this helps. So, Wicked or B3dserk usually has all of their models in 1/6 scale and busts at 1/4 scale. So, I think the 50/100 thing is if you want them full size versus half size. Reach out to those guys and they can tell you for sure.
Awesome video! I have a question though! When I slice a print it gives me a time total of 5 hours but when I load it into the photon mono x the time becomes double. Is that normal?
Do you find yourself adding extra supports when you use auto or do you trust it mostly to do it’s job? I haven’t used chitubox, I use lychee and every time i just use auto supports I seem to get a failed print and it doesn’t seem to detect a lot of islands. Maybe I need to swap to chitubox and give it a go!
This video is great, I'm having quite a few fails lately and I believe it's because I haven't figured out the best orientation and the support settings. My question here is, you print HUGE models, but for someone who prints in a sligh smaller scale, do you still use the same standard supports?
@@TheCreativeCollector I get that it's different based on the type of resins. I was just looking for some basic guideline settings with anycubic basic grey on the mono x.
I just wanted to let you know that I love your channel. I love all the models you do.I'm still learning quite a bit, but I really appreciate everything you do
Thanks for listening to your Patreons!
thank you so much for your training
The video I neded when I started out 😂 this will for sure help a lot of people
I hope so! Thanks!
Ok so this video REALLY helped me out, thank you so so much!
You're so welcome!
Make a video on your photon mono x settings
Im new to this an he is really helpful an easy to understand. Thanks for making it easy for me to get into this great hobby.
I'm new to 3D modelling I'll try these settings on auto supports today!. I'm using lychee I love it but have this chitibox and anycubic slicer but lychee works better for me but trying them all to see what's best
Thanks ...
You are best ...
You helped me alot ..
I'm going to be buying my first 3D Printer next month and this video has been so helpful - thanks so much.
Glad it was helpful!
Brilliant!!!! It is ok to use Auto supports!!!!!!!!
Absolutely!
super video ill give that a whirl
Do you have any updated support settings?
I will soon!
Very informative. I have a Saturn 2 and an M3 Max. I watched your settings video and wanted to know if the settings are universal, or do you have specifics for each printer? I'd love to know your settings for the M3 Max if you are willing to share. Have a great day and thank you!
They should work, but you may have to adjust the exposure a little.
Really appreciate this it helps me a lot
Awesome! Thanks!
thank you so much for this video. You're helping us all out alot
Oh man, that's awesome. That's why I make these videos. Thanks for the kind words 🙏

Try it! It works really well. Your pieces will fit a lot more snug and you won't have to use tons of filler on it. Le me know how it goes!

Great video 👏👏👏👏
Thank you 👍
Thank you for the great video. I have one small question. Would you mind sharing what modifications, if any, that you made to the heavy supports?
I just use auto supports on all sizes.
Thank you so much for your video. it has been so helpful. I have one question for you I have heard the some people are leaving their resin in the vat. Is this a good idea .Do you clean your vat out after every print?
No I leave it in there, especially if I know I'm going to print again soon.
I’d like to see the support contact points close up. When I use mediums, even with a contact size of .40mm and a depth of .10 they show like crazy and require a lot of clean up. Any idea why? Thanks for the video.

Hi great video. Why when i use auto supports, it create supports also inside the hollowed model? I have to manually remove them piece by piece evrytime.
I use 5% of the grid infill. When you use that setting it knows not to put supports inside.
@@TheCreativeCollector thank you. Didnt know that feature exists. Hope i can find it
It's on the setting where you hollow out the model
The newest version of Chitubox doesn’t allow you to change the support density. What settings am I looking for in its place? Also, on a hollowed out model with 5% infill I’m still getting auto supports inside. Is there a remedy for this? I have Chitubox basic.
I'm not totally sure with the newer version. I still use 1.9.4 version.
fantastic video, really helped me understand some extra things about orienting a print, for the photon mono x what would your exposure settings be? still 3.5? im currently running 2.4
Yes I use 3.5 exposure on my Mono X as well.
as always great video. do you ever use island detection feature?
Not really. I like to keep it simple
Question: do those settings apply to the elegoo mars 4 ultra?
They should work as well.
I am using Chitubox Pro 1.2.0 and I do not have this density setting.
Yeah I heard they didnt include it on the newer versions for some reason.
I love the settings for the supports. It's soooo much easier to remove after print. I have one question, I keep getting tacks heads (area supports pulling from resin print) on some parts. What can I do to fix the problem...I'm printing on Elegoo Saturn and Saturn 2
That's somewhat normal, but of they're too big then check the settings on the base of the support going on the model. You might be able to tweak that a bit.
You mean the tip that touch the print.
Yes. Use the cone settings
Awesome tips. It’s crazy how you never use light supports lol. Do you ever get failures using auto supports with only medium? I can’t imagine not using heavies to anchor and lights for details.
I've just always used medium and got great results so I didn't want to change it.
@@TheCreativeCollector I definitely need to try your tips. It would save so much time.
Go for it. Let me know in the discord how it goes.
Buen video!!
Thank you! 🤘
Here's a question: Lychee or Chitubox? Also, is the Linant a Chitubox-locked system? So if I'm used to Lychee, then I need to take that posed and ready STL and slice it in Chitubox to print on the Linant? Thanks!
So, Linant has it's own slicer but you can use Chitubox or Lychee with it.
@@TheCreativeCollector I have a Saturn right now and I'm trying to find a larger replacement. The Deck seems like the logical choice over the Sonic Mega 8k. Have you used that printer?
@@mzsherman Have I used the Sonic Mega? No, I haven't. I heard good things about it though.
How are you turning your stl files into three d?Images in the folder instead of just a file name
Sorry but I'm not sure exactly what you're asking
I saw you open a file over your 3D prints instead of having a file name. It actually showed the print image of what it was
Hey bro, great video, however... I always get small little dents from the support tips. You pull them off effortlessly, but when I try to do that, I get dents in my resin print, which I have to putty. Very annoying.

How to change density in 2.1 basic chitubox?
I havent used that version so I dont know.
@@TheCreativeCollector thnx for answering and for so informative videos!
What site do you use to download those beautiful models/bases from?? Free and or paying sites. Thanks and great channel 😎
I get most from different patreons like Wicked 3d or cgtrader

Awesome video! I have a question though! When I slice a print it gives me a time total of 5 hours but when I load it into the photon mono x the time becomes double. Is that normal?
Yes that's normal. It has to do with the machines internal settings like UV output and so on.
Do you find yourself adding extra supports when you use auto or do you trust it mostly to do it’s job?
I haven’t used chitubox, I use lychee and every time i just use auto supports I seem to get a failed print and it doesn’t seem to detect a lot of islands. Maybe I need to swap to chitubox and give it a go!
I usually don't have to add any extra supports. Most of the time I take away a few.
How big was that iron man?
It's 1/4 scale
We love u

Yes I use the same supports for all models. The only thing I do differently is I add more density for larger heavier pieces.
@@TheCreativeCollectorgreat video
What are your print settings for 1/4 scale prints?
It just depends on the print itself.
@@TheCreativeCollector I get that it's different based on the type of resins. I was just looking for some basic guideline settings with anycubic basic grey on the mono x.
Oh gotcha. Hit me up on Instagram and I can send you a screenshot of my settings
Is this chitubox basic?
Yes it is.
what do you do now that chitubox removed the support density setting?
It's under another banner but I still use version 1.9.4
