Mil - Gunners first Ok print
This article was published Feb 01, 2020.
They are not perfect, but I now got my first really good print! Really needed this after all the hopes and emotions involved in this new adventure of mine, resin printing.
Right after I started printing the howitzer carriage. Should be ready tomorrow. Will not be able to print a complete gun this weekend, but I will try. If not it will be done next weekend.
One thing I noticed just as I was watching the printer, was that there is so much suction between the FEP and the printbed in the beginning of the print that the FEP lifts a bit each time after exposure and the printbed lifts to let in more resin. That is why the new printer 3DprintingNerd presented a few days ago, is so much faster. The resin is not as thick and the printbed is full of gaps letting the resin flow in much faster, one layer per second.. Of course there resin must react faster, but the flow is first thing to improve on today´s printers.
