Missing chunks in every print
Posted: Sun May 10, 2020 9:03 am
Hi all,
I need to figure out what's wrong with my Solus. Every single print I do is faulty and damaged in one way or another. I have gone through new sheets of teflon film, brand new resin, I've rechecked all the settings from scratch, setting up the printer from the beginning, MULTIPLE times. I did it again just yesterday. Everything is cleaned and set, with new resin and new film. Yet I still get faults in every print. I really have no idea what can be causing this.
I tried reprinting the recommended sample print ring (by the person who sold the Solus to me); (it's the half-built ring in the last picture), and that didn't work, so I'm coming to the conclusion that it's not the resin, or the film. Or I'm doing something completely wrong, but I don't know what.
In my process of elimination the last few things that have come to my attention is when the resin tray is screwed onto the printer, it must be raised slightly on the left, as it pools higher on the right side.
And the little centering bubble is ajar when on a flat table. I tilted the printer a little so the bubble is centered, but when it is, the resin pools even MORE onto the right side.
Please let me know what can be done about this. I'm starting to lose faith as a successful print has become a rare cause of celebration.
Cheers all
Kind regards
Aaron
