Hi Guys

Just wanna have a talk about how do you usally install your vat when printing.

Some people don't thighten their thumbscrew some thighten.
Which really works for you?

Thanks

I tighten my screws down just enough to where I see it move the vat down. Like .25mm to .5mm down juust barely feeling tension so that the vat can still slide around when attached.

When I install my film it's usually very tight. So I will just get the screw to take hold and keep vat in place. As you print it will stretch and you may find you have to tighten it down a little more. If you install per the video and instructions, you would tighten down so that there is a 1mm gap between vat and top of printer.

so let's consider you get the film tension right with your own method of thumb screw tightening.
is it normal to have "pop" sound?

Yes especially the first 3-5 layers. If there is a lot of surface contact you will also hear that pop which is the layer coming off the film.

Hello Everyone.

I tried just insert thumbscrew like 1 or 2 turn trade u can see vat move, before it was hard believing what my friend Waever told me to try....after i try it was very good clean print no pop up sound....normally i get popup sound up-to 30 layers (when i use to tight then turn is back 1 or 2 turn back).
