A: Common causes include an uneven build plate, insufficient support, incorrect exposure settings, dirty resin tank, or expired 3d printer resin. Check each factor and adjust accordingly when working with resin 3D printers.
Q: Should I remove supports before or after curing?
A:For best results with 3d printed resin models, remove most of the supports before post-curing. If you remove them afterward, the hardened 3d printing resin may damage the contact areas. Minor supports and surface finishing can be done after curing.
Q: How long should I cure the model?
A: Curing time varies depending on 3d printing resins and part size. Generally, UV curing for about 5 minutes is recommended. Adjust the curing time as needed. Store cured 3d print resin parts in a cool, dry place.
Q: How much resin should I add to the vat?
A: No more than 500 ml of printer 3d resin. The vat has a MAX fill line for guidance when doing resin 3d printing.
Q: Can ABS-like resin be printed at 0.03 mm layer height? Any recommended settings?
A: Yes, but there is no standard profile for 0.03 mm. You can start with the 0.05 mm profile and reduce the exposure time by about 20%, keeping other settings unchanged. These adjustments apply to most 3d resin printers.
Q: Can fast resin be printed at 0.1 mm layer height?
A: Yes, 0.1 mm layer height can be applied. We recommend printing at 0.05 mm. Note: “Fast” refers to motor speed, resin flowability, and short light-off delay — not to increasing layer thickness. Recommended 3d printing resin profiles can be found here: resin-parameter.
Q: Can water-washable resin be printed at 0.01 mm layer height? Can you provide parameters?
A: Yes. Use the 0.05 mm profile as a base and reduce exposure time to ~1.1–1.2 seconds per layer. Other parameters can remain unchanged for this type of 3d printed resin.
Q: What should I do with waste resin or cleaning liquid?
A: Waste 3d printer resin and contaminated alcohol must not be poured down the drain. Expose the waste liquid to sunlight or UV light until cured, then dispose of it as solid waste according to local regulations.
