Why won't this slice?
  • @WolfLink @papalonian yeah, something like this but you might try. MS 3D Builder is out is still around our even good old Meshmixer!

    Alternatively you could try adding a plane and extrusion this downwards on blender, Meshmixer etc

  • I've never had such good first layers. Replaced my warped ass Ender3S1 bed with a mirror.
  • @bdonvr you've probably heard this before...... But magnetic PEI build plate is the best adhesion I've had.
    Used glass on my CR10S but it's night and day vs PEI on the ender 3 S1 plus.
    Keeping it clean is key but copious quantity of IPA and a very light sand has worked so far.

    Vase mode problems
  • @MissJinx I've had issues with some slicers not coping with vase mode.

    Did you try changing the vase mode settings?

    Some models don't work so well on vase mode. Usually with steep overhangs.

    You might try a different slicer?

  • 3D printed Portal coasters
  • @PeleSpirit @topinambour_rex yes, you can. With a dual extruder printer. Or if pause the printer mid way through and change the filament, is recommend using a printer with filament detect, it should move to the side so your prints don't get damaged by the hotend.

  • Ideas on how to get a better surface?
  • @Piecemakers3Dprints @CaptainFlintlockFinn as a one time chemist I'd agree that there is a real possibility some trace materials in the resin causing some harm in prolonged contact. The resin may be set but could potentially leach some of the other materials such as unreacted ingredients, catalysts etc. In the same way that cheap jewellery can release alloying metals that cause irritation. A dermatologically safe varnish seems a sensible call.

  • Ideas on how to get a better surface?
  • @CaptainFlintlockFinn are those resin support marks? If so you could try reorienting your model to reduce the number of supports needed. Possibly experimenting with the number, spacing and thickness may get better results. I'm no expert but have found it helps sometimes.

  • What resin printer should I get?
  • @charmed_electron printer type and size depends on what you want. Consider the software to use on it, printers may only like some slices. I've found FDM and Resin printers to be complimentary. I'd agree with person about getting a suitable space. I use my loft, getting a place away from you main living space is needed. Temperature is an issue but settings can account for some of this.
    I think of my FDM printer as mechanical tool to build things. My resin printer feels more like cooking!
