3D Printing Tips and Techniques
LemonJello:
Thanks! It was pretty fun to get some time with the printer. At one point I had a batch of prints in washing while another batch was printing.
Any missing parts are lost to the carpet monster as they flew off as I was removing the supports.
I let PrusaSlicer determine best position for details on the rifles, and they all printed at odd angles with a lot of supports. I think I'll try it again with more vertical orientation and see what happens.
I give the FEP a good inspection for cured bits at the end of my printing time and a rinse of Isopropyl before closing up shop.

I was recommended to view this blog, and it does seem to have some good advice, might be worth you looking at it . . .

Robin,
I'm using some of Jans' ettings! His latest settings and script for UVTools are great. I'm having issues dialing in the best exposure.
Frank3k:
I should follow my own advice...
I was having weird print failures, even on basic prints like exposure checks. Half would be stuck to the FEP and half to the build plate; it didn't make sense. After many attempts and many re-levels - I took the build plate off, cleaned it well and took a good look at the surface. I gave it a quick pass with a 600 grit sanding pad and a shiny spot appeared. It was a tiny sliver of resin, no more than 5mm x 3mm and much, much less than 1mm thick (maybe only 1-2 layers thick, so around 100 microns) near the edge of the build plate. It was smooth and almost invisible and I could only feel it by its smoothness.
I scraped the build plate several times, gave it a couple of passes with a 400 then 600 sanding pad, cleaned it off, re-leveled and it started printing like a champ.
