I was printing fine then decided to update the software through the Contour program itself.... now NOTHING prints!! Every single print since has updating fails miserably.
Nothing else has changed wtf did the update do that's made all printing grind to a complete halt!!! The update no: is 2.1.2.0
Everything fails after latest Contour update 2.1.2.0

Re: Everything fails after latest Contour update 2.1.2.0
looks like over exposure Check your settings. If you changed them before the update, you will need to re enter. Like for lamp brightness.
Another thing is make you support tubes larger. I find this help a lot.

Re: Everything fails after latest Contour update 2.1.2.0
First of all, it’s a beta update. Stick to stable release only if you can’t handle bug fixes. Second nothing printing related has been changed in that update. Third that is not the latest beta version. Your issue seems like overexposure due to full rgb not being set. Possible a windows update was involved?
Also refrain from using that kinda language in this forum.

Re: Everything fails after latest Contour update 2.1.2.0
May I ask what are the reasons which make you both think it's over exposure? I don't have any flashing between slices and other forum posts of fails which look similar, everyone tells them to add 0.5s to exposure. Not having a crack just trying to learn how to troubleshoot so I don't have to get angry and resort to annoying you guys.
Definitely no windows updates or revert from full RGB... I did 4 x successful prints in a row, updated, 10mins later put on another print. Then fail, fail, fail
The only settings I normally change are the Z lift speed to 50, z lift height to 6 and buffer to 2sec

You can uninstall the latest version you have and install the one before. If you have the file saved. Or just download and install the stable version 1.9.

Alright cool, I'll try and use that as a backup.
Could you please help me in diagnosing and troubleshooting exposure settings? Or point me towards a link or something does
Re: Everything fails after latest Contour update 2.1.2.0
Update: Lifting the exposure to 3.2 for 25micron layer seemed to have fixed the problem
Weird because it was printing at 2.7sec (default) fine beforehand.

Maybe your projector bulb is getting weaker.
