i'll def look into this resin. thanks Lez0

8k Elegoo Standard Resin Elegoo Saturn 4 Ultra .04 Layer Height 5 Bottom Count Exposure Time 3.750 Bottom Exposure 80 i'm having an odd issue with Clumping and Shredding in certain areas. (see pics) these areas are supported yet, unlike similar spots on the model, they come out this way. is this a s...

in my experience cracking can sometimes be from Lack of Support

looks interesting. is it good for fine detail? how flexible and tough is it?

Also, this problem i had turned out to be a Leveling issue. Apparently the Saturn 4 Ultra, which has Auto-Leveling, can be Manually Leveled now. so that fixed the issue i was having with sticking to the plate.

is the Elegoo ABS the Standard Resin?

got a small heater and did some tests. tests ranging from 20-35 degrees Failed to stick to the plate everytime. so i increased it up till around 40 degrees. only then would it stick. the final print has structural errors which i guarantee are from this Temp thing. my supports are Extensive to say th...

that makes a lot of sense. i'll prob do that as well. Thanks so much for the insights Lez0

so i warmed up the Resin Bottle in warm water and got it to stick to the base, only to have it Fail partly thru the Print. So for this Resin to function correctly i have to: A. have a small heater aimed at the machine B. Raise the temperature in the entire house C. Print from July to August i must b...

tried it again, with a different Model at 19.4 degrees Celsius/67 degrees F. and i upped the bottom exposure to 75 Got Exactly the same result. the Pics also show the rear side of the Model is always where it's peeling off Slow Speed Mars Ultra 4 Layer Height .040 Exposure 3.5 Bottom Layer Count 5 B...

thanks Lez0,
it's gotta be right? 60 bottom exposure should secure anything.

hey, i'm using Elegoo 8k Red Clay Resin that keeps peeling off the plate. The only thing i can think of is the Temp. Mid 60's Could temp really make that happen? Standard Elegoo Resin no problem btw Slow Speed Mars Ultra 4 Layer Height .040 Exposure 3.5 Bottom Layer Count 5 Bottom Exposure 60 bottom...

at first glance it looks like you have a few issues.
2 exposure is way too low. 4 is my minimum
your supports may be too thin, thus tearing off early on
your bottom layer exposure should be 30-40 sec. (with my elegoo standard resin it's about 30 on my Ultra 4)

I use the default 5mm and it works out OK. I know this is the minimum as you have to turn the part at an angle so there are no large areas printing. If I can I have the part sitting on the Build Plate. You can still add supports. Also the thickness of supports can make a big difference, if in doubt...

so. i let the print sit in Direct Sunlight for about an hour. Much much Better in terms of curing. that said... this Sunlu Resin is So So in my book. it's still slightly tacky and way to shiny for the 6 inch Statues i'm making. i'll have to use it for other things. thanks for all of the Help and Ins...

I live in Spain and I cure mine outside for at least half an hour. I've tested them a lot longer to see if it degrades the parts, the only problem I have found is clear goes a yellow colour if left in the sun too long. For small parts I put them in a clear jar with water, that seems to work OK. tha...
