Re: Failed prints. Pulling my hair out!
Hi Alvaro. Check your Z lift speed in Solus Contour. It should be: 75-80 (for B9 Cherry Resin). Mine is at 150 for B9 Cherry Rik. I would orient this build differently to make the most of the Solus tilt method separation and to put the least amount of stress on the overlaps of the domes which is th...

Re: New Aluminum Resin Tank
One thing I found was that the height made it a bit difficult to pour the resin out for straining. Also stirring resin often caused some to come up over the edge. Are you straining resin as you pour into the VAT or are you talking about pouring resin from the VAT for straining? I don't strain into ...

Re: My (failed) castings w/SolusCast
again I do believe that was from too thin when hollowing out when I CAD the model. I thought the ring was solid. If that top is hollow and this circle is supposed to be open then it appears the investment inside the ring has shifted. That is.... it snapped at the circle area and then moved during s...

Re: New Aluminum Resin Tank
A standard aluminium vat came with my printer. I love it having used very expensive disposable plastic trays with the Asiga. One thing I found was that the height made it a bit difficult to pour the resin out for straining. Also stirring resin often caused some to come up over the edge. I guess I co...

Has anyone tried running Solus with integrated Intel Graphics 620 or any other "successor" to 5500?
Hi Ziga,
I am running Contour on a 630 in a Lenovo Tower, Windows 10 that just runs the Solus. No issues at all. Sweet as and real easy to set up.
cheers,
Sochin

Re: My (failed) castings w/SolusCast
Most of the times i get very good results casting the Emerald but this is not consistent and i am curing for 40-50 hours with the Solus curing unit (Melody Susie before). I have tried and still experimenting with all possible curing methods. Here is an example of the castings i usually get Capture1...

Re: My (failed) castings w/SolusCast
1. Can it withstand high heat like the Emerald? Very important for me as i make a lot of molds of flat items with standard vulcanizing process (160 celcius). Also i heat cure before casting. IMO Cherry is sturdier than Emerald and more suitable for normal high temp vulcanisation. That is why I pref...

Re: My (failed) castings w/SolusCast
If you are interested search for "smart-res". Thanks..... but I don`t need to read it or see photos. If you say it casts like wax then "it casts like wax" and I will take your word for it. Print, gypsum investment and a normal wax burnout for even heavier weight items. Sounds gr...

Re: My (failed) castings w/SolusCast
I am assuming you have not tried it? Why would you assume that? because you wrote "I may have found one" not "I have found one". I took the "may have" to possibly mean that you are yet to try it....because if it casts like wax it would only take one try to prove that. ...
