When I setup my machine initially, the settings in the little manual recommended my layer height at 0.05. I've constantly had issues with suction force and sticking to the FEP. I slowed things down, I messed with settings on the lift speed and pretty much checked out everything else I could......Except change the layer height to the setting under 0.05. Which is 0.025 on my machine. Putting the layer at half the height essentially does all of what the other stuff went about doing but more easily. Its not so much about trying to get better detail on this but having it pull easier from the fep. Just thought I would share my simple findings that I seemed to miss. I'll know for sure if I keep on getting good build plates one after the other after the other. The good that came from this is that now I know pretty much about anything else that can go wrong. Hope this tidbit may help some of you and hopefully it is my real problem. Just finished compiling all of the files from @ scapedood off of thingiverse into a single folder now that I may be running the resin printer non stop, gotta get to printing out a legion of scape figures. |
My prints started sticking to the FEP when I added some Monocure Flex to my resin to make it more durable. I looked up on the internet, and some guy suggested applying Rain-X to the FEP.
Well, I cleaned out the resin, applied some Rain-X, dried it off, added resin, and no more sticking!
Try Rain-X. I couldn't be happier.
(And use it on your car windshields as well...
