MISTAKES I made when I started resin 3d printing

I got my from cults one gave gives free put together modes that have different gear and poses

I got an elegoo with elegoo resin and it basically worked right out of the box. I even forgot to tighten the build plate and it printed perfectly

where to get that orage resin?

First mistake you made... getting a resin printer. I am so glad I got a filament printer as it needs very little prep or cleanup.... and the 4K results are easily comparable to resin ... but without the stink, cleanup, UV or wash.

The best mistake for me, number 7

Also don't ever forget to secure the resin vat down before printing. I may have done that tonight and ended up with a suspended resin vat that was attached to my build plate 😂😂

Funny you should say about tightening the build plate
I always remember that, but have twice now forgotten to screw the vat down - first when I got the printer, second after cleaning it (had the printer about a week)
So I've stuck a post-it on the machine to remind me

1 mistake i made when i started resin printing is starting resin printing.

PYJAMA POWER!!!!

Actually I did experience a plug and play experience, but I did watch a ton of videos before my printer got here, so I had plenty of time to get tools, mask, gloves, a ventilated area to do it, and my anycubic is overall really nice. The problem with 3D printing is the time you need to take apart. Aside from that I recommend water washable resin is much easier to handle.

majorkill???

thank you that helped a lot i would not have calibrated my exposure time

Im learnin today ! 😅 yesterday i started a 19 hour beserker print file on my halot 8k and first 2 trys it diddnt stick to the bed so now im on number 3 and its stuck but now im worried imma run outa clear blue ink in the trey. i started with 500 now its lookin light and i gotta go to bed so im thinking about adding clear red to make a half blue half purple print incase it runs out.😅 uhh hopefully the blue dont run out

ever see any patron that do Famous musicians Guitarist Bassist sort of stuff I just order a printer so I figured I better watch this video lol

Thanks it really helped me,since there is not so much info about the Halot One

Can't we just use the recommended settings from the resin page

Links to Tableflip and Atlas would have been helpful

Do I need a washer?

As someone who is looking to get a resin printer bundle sometime this month, this is extremely helpful advice! Like Num.12, I would've never thought to wear gloves or a mask when using resin or curing, but now I know I'll have to keep some in supply

number 11 is the worse

Any advice on making it as close to plug and play as possible? I want to 3D print to get cool minis not as a hobby in itself. Do you have a video on that?

Hall9 I just bought today creality halo one c 60 do you have the same printer??

Star Wars is shit 😑

good advice, especially since youre only printing since 3 Months
but i cant agree with you about "overloading" the buildplate. Its different with large parts with big cross sections, but with miniatures which are pretty similar concerning the print area (=not problematic), you can fill the plate to the last gap - even with a 13'' printer like the Anycubic M3 Max, given that you adjust the lift speeds

Awesome video! I'm in the process of buying my first resin printer (have a FDM atm). This was just honest and quick tips. Much appreciated. You my friend get a sub!

Btw getting resin in your eye really sucks.

Anyone else here cause they have a 3D printing problem, and starting to feel concerned/guilty that I'm only creating yet more plastic into a world that's dying due to plastic pollution/ overpopulation.

Looks like we have the same printer. But here's a mistake I made that won't really happen with miniatures: a large print I thought was hollow printed perfectly... Used $15 of resin 🤦

ive forgotten to tighten the vat,... never did the build plate. hahaha

suction force... make sure to add drain holes if your model allos it. ive just used ggreen stuff and/or resin to fill the hols and tada... but reduces suction cup issues

thanks Habes and commenters. i only started resin printing minis a couple days ago and even though i have industry experience using resin printers; it seems wildly different

Hello, I'm a beginner with a HALOT-ONE and I'd love some advice if you're willing. I've just got a new bottole of Phrozen 8k gray resin and my prints are not sticking to the build plate at all. When I drain the tray, I see the first few base layers of the print stuck to the FEP. Do you have an idea of what might be causing this? My most recent bottom exposure layer was 5, base layer exposure time 35s, exposure time 2.5s. I have learned recently exactly what's happening in this printing process (thanks to you and other YTers!) and now I'm wondering if my FEP needs to be replaced.

Hi! New question. Is a resin 3d printer better for printing small and detailed things than the usual 3d printers?

Cause I'm planning to get into 3d printing and I would want to 3d print keycaps

Do we need to empty and clean the container after each print?

I love Water-Washable resins and i swear by them. The cleanup process is less smelly, easier, and less likely to dry my skin or give me headaches

I printed almost all of my first bottle (Phrozen Aqua Resin Ivory 4K, which I understand is actually good resin, but I picked just for the color),
on a Mars 3 Ultra (not Pro).
Also I don't have washing and curing machines, I just use a plastic box of alcohol and cure them in the Sun (of which lately there's very little - mostly clouds and rains).
And so far I have zero fails!
I'm quite surprised too. I've watched many videos on resin 3d printing and saw how many things can go wrong.
Also when I started I did no settings in the slicer (chitubox). I opened the settings windows saw that I have no idea what I'm looking at and only set the printer to be my model in the slicer.
The only issues I had so far is getting out the printed parts out of the build plate. Especially those I print flat, which I do for the miniatures base plates - being low profile and flat bottom seems waste (of resin and most of all - Time!) to angle them and support them, so I just put as many as I can for single print, and in 20~30 mins they're done.
But yes the flat base plates are the hardest to remove from the build plate (but also the strongest so I don't shy of using extra force).
And the other issues are that I broke 3 pieces when removing the supports (after I've removed them from the build plate). Fortunately 2 of the 3 breaks were clean and was very easy to superglue (the 3rd one was also clean, but I didn't notice it when removing the supports and I guess I've thrown the front of a female figurine foot in the trash).
So as a result I got cocky and I printed a bracket to hold the build plate at an angle after printing to better drain the resin left on the build plate before washing it.
I got that pre-supported (and clean stl of course) and I was going to print the supported version as usual, but I noticed some supports looking weird and unnecessary (and too thick), I played few minutes trying to fix just the weird ones, but I gave up, started with the clean STL, set supports to light (and even made them a bit lighter, down to 0.7mm thickness), printed it expecting epic fail and that I would have to finally drain the resin in the tub thru a filter to remove the failed parts (and avoid breaking my screen afterwards) ... I even hollowed the bracket and put few small drain holes because it seemed to me it has good potential to save on resin, while still being acceptably strong ...
But I got a problem - it printed perfectly fine!
Build plate removal and supports removal was much easier. Wasn't sure if the resin from inside the bracket was drained already, so after cleaning it and curing it a bit more in the sun I dared put my lips on one of the holes to blow in and see if any resin will get out, but nothing got out except for some air.

So now I still have no idea what to do if something goes wrong :/
I'm going to buy a flex-plate to make prints removal much easier, and perhaps I'll get simple curing box (or put one myself - DIY style), and next I'll have to use the regular resins, so I wonder if there'll be any difference.

Hi Im new to resin printing and currently at a 70% fail rate. For some reason the print is coming detached from the supports the raft applies itself well to the buildplate / any suggestions

Are you making your own models or u download them from somewhere?

If u are making them on your own, which program do you use?

Blender is good one?

With regard to piles o files shame. If you are a parent or not, what shit will we leave them behind. Maybe even if its all cloud data or not the thought of leaving loads o shit behond for the poor kids or relatives left behind ti clear. Probably more relevant to physical figure piles o shame, hasty buys, but we are still printing lots o stuff only relevant to us. Again they may not be to those we leave behind.

I keep getting an error when loading models "There is a problem with this model data "

Thank you so much for producing this video. Helps a lot!

I'm about to take the step and purchase my printer. It's incredible how many people have such great advice across every line of model and through all experiences. Every video I watch and comment i read teaches me something I didn't know that I am better off knowing. So I thank the creators and the community. Much love guys❤

Wonder why Anycubic doesn’t put a microswitch onto the platform for the wash and dry station to know when the wash station is installed. This would allow the circuit to not be placed in wash mode unless the tank is sitting on the platform which would prevent the high speed spinning mistake when trying to cure the model.

I'm waiting for my anycubic 4k to arrive now so I think this os going to be one of the best channels to actually get help with it as a noob! Lol

Anybody told you that you sound like Majorkill?

can we make dildos with this machine ?
