prints just started failing

Postby Ted Broadside » Mon Nov 13, 2017 1:55 pm

Hi, can anyone explain why my prints just started failing and also why I've started to get the resin curing at the bottom of the tray. Everything was printing fine last week then 1st print failed, I cleared out the resin tray and sieved the resin, put on another print and hey presto!...the same thing happened again. I've not changed any settings.
Any help would be appreciated.

Please check to make sure you still have full RGB enabled in your graphics settings.

Right, I've Intel HD Graphics and following the instructions, I can get up to the select display > general settings part but then my version doesn't have the 'advanced' section.

It should be there if you change the display to the projector from the drop-down box at the top.

i have found my monitor settings and adjusted the quantization range from the default to full range. Would that be it?

Yup :)

If by monitor you mean the projector?

Something similar happed to me and found out that the low temperature in the room kept the resin from curing.
How is the temperature in the room where you have the printer?

Weather is getting colder.
Just a thought.
