Failed Prints

Postby RSpangler16 » Tue Oct 11, 2016 5:32 pm

So I've been having some issues here. I am not sure if it is my supports or my printer settings. Recently I found the suggested calibration settings for the InFocus projector and then refocused the grid and it seemed to help a bit, but some smaller details are still not coming out. I have gotten excellent detail before on much smaller components so I think it is either the printer settings or the resin.

The first two images are of failed print 1, the third is of failed print 2.

Sorry the first and third image are of the same print, the middle one is a second print. The second time I lowered the object to the base to try to eliminate some supports.

Looks like a support issue. Every time you have horizontal area overhangs, you need to support them well, or tilt the model slightly to eliminate those areas.
