Because it’s easy. You don’t have to think for yourself if you let someone else do it.
- Comment on Issues with my second resin print 1 year ago:
That piece on the FEP sheet is where it let go from the supports when the build plate lifted. More support will probably fix that.
I always think about what’s happening when I’m doing supports. The resin gets cured on the FEP then the build plate moves up and pulls that layer off the FEP. The part is being pulled by forces in opposite directions so we need to make sure that the part hanging on to the build plate is sufficiently anchored so it’ll pop off the FEP and not off the build plate.

Any time!
If it didn’t print at all I’d be looking at that USB right away. I had many half printed things and corrupted files before I clued in.
- Comment on Issues with my second resin print 1 year ago:
I started resin printing a couple months ago. I had some of those layer problems too. I found that I need way more supports than I thought I needed at the beginning. This is a pretty good guide on supoorts. Alternately Ive been using lychee slicer’s auto supports. They seem to work well for the most part.
I also just recently did some exposure tests. It takes a while because each test is about 20 minutes but it turns out I was under exposing my prints so things are better now.
Lastly I replaced the usb stick the printer came with. I highly recommend doing this right away, a bad stick can do weird things. I got two 64gb Kingston data travellers for $10 Canadian. It’s well worth it.
Haven’t had the layer issues since I did these things and, fingers crossed, I haven’t had a failed print since either.

Lucky for me I can’t afford a new car anyway. I’ll just keep driving my unconnected car.

I just looked in to a vibratory tumbler, they aren’t cheap!

Elegoo clear blue ABS like resin.
- Comment on Ideas on how to get a better surface? 1 year ago:
I’ve thought about attaching a jar to my drill and turning the part in some kind of medium.
What kind of parameters need adjusting for your process?
- Comment on Ideas on how to get a better surface? 1 year ago:
Appreciate that detailed explanation. I probably should have put something in the picture for scale. This is about 2.5cm in diameter. Not sure I could get a buffing tool small enough to be useful.

I had no idea call of duty was such a big deal. It’s not my jam so I never notice it.

Really depends on the models in my opinion. Small highly detailed models would do better in resin.
I started in FDM and then went to resin. For me resin is way easier. Far less fiddling with hardware.

They said they’d do the injection moulding in PVC? If so you’d be fine making prototypes/demos in resin.
Also, have you in to the game crafter to see if they can do what you need?
