Re: new person looking for resin and mtnce advice
Just a tip for resin casting, make sure you use condensation cure rubber, not addition cure. The latter doesn't cure very well in contact with the printer resin.

Re: Need help printing large, bulky models
Hey there! Thanks for the advice. I think I'm going to try this tomorrow. https://scontent.fbhx1-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t35.0-12/18235849_10158646454125707_1231602949_o.png?oh=1f977f91d3a4efb83e086420f8ec9dc1&oe=5907A5B7 Much more angled, less stress on the supports. Sadly, it's not hollow either! Hu...

Re: Important: Stirring and Shaking the Resin Bottles
This is a great tip and correlates perfectly with the issues I've been having. It feels like I still have so much to learn about my Solus! I should say, I really don't like the bottles Solusproto is sold in. It leaks very easily and makes me worried to shake it too hard for fear of it flying onto th...

Re: silicone rubber does not cure solus proto resin
In my experience, Platinum (Addition cure) rubber stuggles to set in contact with SolusProto resin, but Tin (Condensation cure) rubber is totally fine.
Heat Vulcanising moulds vary massively, so we just use resin masters to be safe.

Re: Need help printing large, bulky models
Just struck me, is it worth changing to 25 xy instead of 42 xy? Is it more reliable?
So far, I have only printed on 42 xy. Owned the printer since February.

Re: Cant seem to get rid of these hard lines.
I've noticed this issue as well, so nice to know how it may be resolved.
What sort of grease should we use? Just standard machine tool grease?
