Re: Too many fails
I can confirm. I've experienced the same failures & consistent inconsistency. Vat tension is definitely a factor. I'm not positive but to me it seem as though the film tension can change over time, using the thumb screws isn't a very precise way of controlling that tension. I no longer tighten t...

Stepping/ripples
Can anything be done about the stepping / rippling artifacts that appear in smooth slightly curved surfaces? Would changing the anti aliasing settings help?

Re: Using DSLR UV Filter with the Projector for Movie
I thought of that too. Its for sure smaller than the window, but maybe not smaller than the printable area.

Re: Using DSLR UV Filter with the Projector for Movie
Tried it. Unfortunately it doesn't work. Doesn't seem to filter the proper UV range. Anyone know what type of glass is used in the projectors filter? Its not low e glass. If anyone knows it might be possible to place a slightly larger piece in front of the shutter.

Re: Failed Broken Prints.
I hear ya. The trouble with this one is that the film was brand new fresh out of the package.

Re: Failed Broken Prints.
Got some feedback but nothing I haven't already tried. Back to the lab. :ugeek: I was finally able to printed this 80mm tall beast. My photo's are crap but the print is silky smooth without any visible grow lines. Here are a few things that could be the cause of my previous problems: 1. Model rotati...

Re: Failed Broken Prints.
Its far too large to be placed on its side. The problem isn't unique to large prints either.

Re: Failed Broken Prints.
I suppose that's possible. I didn't really consider it since the overhangs on the front are more substantial and printed just fine. I'll get the STL to you. If .25mm overhangs are an issue support structures are not going to be viable. I'll need to add more draft.

Re: Failed Broken Prints.
The ridge on back was supported I removed it when removing from the build platform. If you look closely the larger more complete print is broken as well. There is a failure on the back side in a relatively flat area, for that reason I don't feel it's a support issue.
