    As you noticed, you need to hollow large volume parts (and add drain holes) or you'll waste a lot of resin and get print failures where the adhesion of the cross-sectional area of your part to the FEP rips the part off of the supports on the build plate. Beginners to 3D resin printers would be wise to start off with a smaller printer. Also, while it's tempting to create parts with the finest .01mm layer height (btw, human hairs range from .04-.12mm in diameter!), the part will take 5 times as long to complete and 5 times the wear & tear on the machine than the usual .05mm layers. You can use the anti-aliasing settings in the slicer to mitigate the tiny visible layer effects if necessary or by angling flat surfaces. It's not rocket science but there is a bit of a learning curve to successfully printing your own resin parts.

      Thanks this is really useful Hugh. Only really used FDM but pretty experienced with it and with this video and comment it's really helped. I've found I occasionally need to print some parts at higher detail so considering a resin. Post processing is usually easy on FDM and it's what's put me off resin with all the supports needed and post washing + UV as I generally like to print and play.
      My thoughts on build volume is if it's accurate over the entire build plate then bigger is better. Yes your dealing with more resin but IME with FDM having the option to build a bigger single piece if needed can be very useful. Also outside of detail the main thing I can see wrt resin printers is they do an entire layer simultaneously so the bigger the build area the more you can take advantage of this feature?
      As for layer height.. use the appropriate layer height for the model your printing.
      What's usually stopped me getting a Resin is the generally small build plates which goes against one of the main things they are good at. Even this printer is still pretty small relatively build plate wise IMO.
      Overall IME with FDM is people regularly overdo the infill but thinking about how a resin prints Vs FDM then resin probably needs significantly more in some cases?
      Any idea what the control board is .. Arduino? if it is presumably can you edit/modify the firmware yourself.
      Assume you can print over network or USB direct from PC

    I also got a my Saturn, people should be very gentle cleaning the Resin Tank Fep, it just need a small hole to leak resin to your LCD screen. That applies to every resin printer, so be very gentle and careful.

  • @littlesnowflakepunk855
    @littlesnowflakepunk855 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    generally it's recommended to print parts at a slight angle, as it makes the layer lines less visible and also helps somewhat with strength

    • @upgrayedd9732
      @upgrayedd9732 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Was about to comment the same. No broad areas should be parallel or perpendicular to the LCD screen. I usually tilt in 2 axis' to help reduce number of supports and promote a smooth finish.

    • @nosalis
      @nosalis ปีที่แล้ว

      other thing aside, it really depends on 2 things imo , resolution of the screen and the layer height , if you have a really good XY resolution, but you use a bigger layer thickness, you will see the lines a lot if you don't print in an printing in angle can help here for sure ,
      if your limitation is screen resolution though, printing in an angle won't help you , you will just get the print lines somewhere else
      for mine ( I haven't started yet but I have done quite a bit of research) , what I will be attempting is to match my XY resolution with layer thickness, that way I should get uniform resolution in all the axis and priting in an angle at that point will be just something to help releive some of the pressure / sucking from the FEP filter

  • @coreycarries6325
    @coreycarries6325 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Also the iron man issue is you were using an abs file. You should have taken the model to blender and hollowed it out resin printers don’t need inner supports like that for their prints unless you have a middle part that is connected inside the model.

    When you run out of resin are you able to resume printing after refilling the reservoir or do you have to have enough resin in the vat to print the complete model all in one go?

      Nick, start with a regular 3d printer. I have 3 Prusa printer kits I’ve built over the last 5 years. They run daily and have produced excellent prints from day one. Prusa are more expensive, but huge company and community support. There are certainly many options for less expensive machines, with varying compromises.
      Resin printers, though very cool, are way more expensive and messy to run, very toxic liquid chemicals, just not beginner friendly😎

      @@TheScalemodelingChannel It sound complicated, it's not. You have the tools. Check out the free Meshroom program. It is photogrammetry software. So it will compose a 3D scan from 2D photographs. Just put the body on the turntable, get your camera and take pictures of it as the body turns. Use 3-4 different angles as it turns and then you have the scan.
      Once the scan is done, you send it to a 3D/CAD program and fix faults on the surface. Now you can print it if you want, so you can fairly easily copy parts too, especially big ones.
      You can use sculpting or normal modeling to add to the 3D scanned body in the program and then once it looks like what you want you just remove the original body from the result. This leaves you with your work you can print. :)

  • @marcoc.1646
    @marcoc.1646 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    The first thing to do as soon as the Saturn arrives (I have 2) is PROTECT THE SCREEN. This is because the Saturn has no lcd protection. So should a resin leak from the VAT occur, it would go on the screen above the polarized film.
    If the film gets scratched during cleaning, the entire LCD needs to be replaced.
    To protect the screen I used an Fep from Elegoo Mars and kapton Tape. I have also seen using Ipad Protector Screen.
    I have seen many posts from people, even experts in printing, cry for not having adopted such a simple and inexpensive solution.
    Especially because until a few days ago, to replace the screen, you could only rely on Elegoo, because it was still out of the market.

    A: Never clean your item made from water washable resin in the sink. Resin still messes up the environment. Use a tub and let the resin-water mix cure in the sun and then throw the hardened stuff away.
    B: The two items on your shelf are illegal in the Netherlands, you could be fined heavily for them.
