Cool I will cut it back to 1500 flashes. That's great it will only take about 3 minuets.

Can somebody send me the resin profile for this new material? My Solus is offline and I'm unable to find it in the forum.

Thanks!!

You will need to update to the latest beta in order to use the profile. If you update, you will automagically have the profile in there.

Yep. Got it! Only took me about 3 hours to get my offline PC onto our company wifi. LOL.

Working now!!

Those loooong burn ins are crazy! This material must be loaded with wax. I might have to do the "lighter test". Clean it, cure it, burn it with a lighter. If it liquifies, MONEY. If it smokes, burns, and smoulders, go on break.

It's not the melting kind of wax lol

It will most likely delaminate and burn.

Why would you do that if Satincast is a discontinued product.

I suggest using Plasticast or Optoma Presige.

This stuff is challenging to print with. This is as far as my parts get. After the first couple of initial layers, nothing.

I just changed the film and restarted the job btw. So hopefully I get some parts out of this.

Do you have lots of hours on your projector bulb?

That's usually a clue if the initial layers print and then nothing.

Either replace the bulb, or try increasing the exposure times until you get a print.
