Pause a print in Cura

I am nervous about doing this as I have never done anything like this before. I want to capture 2 nut in a print to give it some weight. What is the best way to do this, I can easily add the holes to the model I just need the print to stop in the right place so I can put the nuts in the print and th...

Re: What resins have you tried? And what are your results?

I have a Anycubic Photon and used there resin to start with, the red is horrible to work with. I then switch to Elegoo ABS-Like grey resin and have been using it ever since, it's not expensive gives good results and is strong. I also use Elegoo translucent, it's not perfectly clear but you get good ...

Re: Resin printing fora/hangouts with higher traffic?

Hi and welcome to the website. I have to admit it sometime seems like a black art printing with thing going wrong for no reason. Once I got my printer setup correctly and working OK I have never changed anything. The top plate is at a bit of angle but it all works so I have left it. I use only 2 dif...

Re: Frustrated newbie ready to toss his printer out a window

On my filament printer I couldn't print a job, tried 3 times and it kept showing 0% progress and nothing moved.
I reformatted the card and all worked OK. I don't understand it either.

Re: Frustrated newbie ready to toss his printer out a window

Wow that is a bummer.
Have you tried different memory sticks, that's about the only thing I can think of.
I've had problems with mine on both printers.

Re: Screen Problems

From what I understand the LCD screen don't have an infernarte life so it looks like yours will need changing.
They don't seem that hard to change, but it depends on the model/make.

Re: Frustrated newbie ready to toss his printer out a window

Hi Something strange is going on here. A couple of things. Change the memory stick that came with the printer, I've heard they not not good quality. You may have the FEP too tight, did you use a bottle top when you fitted the new one? Holes. you need one on the base of the model so the resin doesn't...

Re: Frustrated newbie ready to toss his printer out a window

I looked at the model and it looked OK, apart from the fact it doesn't have a drain hole in the head or a hole on the base. To explain it simply you can't print a basic tube unless you put a hole in the base. If you don't the resin will create a vacuum as it lifts and the walls will be sucked in. I ...

Re: Frustrated newbie ready to toss his printer out a window

Hi Solannis. I'll try and help you with your problem. First I think it could be the model that is causing the problem. I'll download it and see if I get any problems. Have you tried printing something else a bit smaller that doesn't need supports. This will show if the model is the problem. When I a...

Re: Resin buying question - Bulk buying?

I looked the other day to see what Anycubic were selling. They now have a range of larger printers. The one thing I done like is that the top lifts off, mine is hinged. It means more space needed, I don't have a lot. I like the look of how the top plate is held with screws. A lot more positive than ...

Re: Printing tip

Hi Bob. Thanks for the tip. Can I ask why you are scraping the FEP. I have been using my Photon for about a year without touching the FEP sheet. I do have more than 1 tray that has different resins in them. My first tray lasted over a year before I had to replace the FEP sheet. When I looked at it i...

Re: How many 3D printers do you have?

I have seen various 3D prints that are for model trains and buildings, using either a resin printer of filament printer. The first thing you need to work out is, what size will your 3D prints need to be. You can break a model into various part and glue them together if the printer isn't big enough. ...
