@revk @LovesTha @flangey That's a scary print, hope it worked out.

@tripplehelix @LovesTha @flangey close. May try again.

@tripplehelix @LovesTha @flangey I'm going to try the print again.

I checked the Z-axis and it was juddering again, so did a few up/down and it seems clear. So this issue is not completely clear, which is annoying.

I'll how this print goes - more supports...

@revk @LovesTha @flangey Maybe contact the manufacturer? It may be a defect.

@tripplehelix @LovesTha @flangey Or just order a new one and keep this for spare parts - but that is a tad wasteful, I know.

I have contacted them though.

@revk @LovesTha @flangey

Could be a good idea if you have the money. The print head and vat's are always useful and the cover if you ever crack it.

Show threadThomas1d ago
@revk @LovesTha @flangey I have about 5 vats in total and a bunch of membranes. They get holes in them so easy when prints fail and don't stick to the head. I've yet to replace the membrane, the idea scares me, hence the number of total vats.

@tripplehelix @LovesTha @flangey Wow, the release film is not hard to replace, and I have a box with a few sheets. Did several times when this issue first came up, assuming that was the cause. Just a few (40 or so) screws 🙂

A spare vat, LCD, cover, etc, all make sense though. Odd to type "vat" and mean "vat" and not "VAT"!

@tripplehelix @LovesTha @flangey Quite, the logic is simple, there will be bits that can break, and a set of spare parts of all except the z-axis motor, is not a stupid thing to have. No need for UV or air filter or more resin, just the main unit.

I'll see what they say.

I'll also do the up/down to clear issue and see if it gradually gets better over time, who knows.

@revk @LovesTha @flangey What air filter do you use? I got mine before they started adding them. I use a series of fans to force air out the window. Makes the pressure in the room get so low my ears pop lol.

@tripplehelix @LovesTha @flangey I got their one, bolts on the back, pretty nice, and quite quiet.

Also water based resin so not too bad. Should I dare go to the ABS like at some point?
