Elegoo Mars 5

Elegoo ABS-like 3.0

Whatever Elegoo's Proprietary Software is Called

I have been trying to get this thing to work for WEEKS. I have tried "leveling" the build plate. I have changed FEP. I put in a brand new LCD. Today, my print looks like the attached picture. For Pete's Sake, please just tell me what settings I need to change to make it work. I am spending too much time and money on this stuff. Was I bamboozled? Was I scammed? Someone please help, and please understand that the technojargon is going to just confuse me more.

Troubleshooting Prints are molten mess

4 Upvotes

Recently got a resin printer, and been slowly getting more and more to actually stay printed and not just look molten. Everything i print looks around the same, and after googling and messing with settings i have no clue what the reason could be. Any reason the supports print okay(ish at best) but besides one base kinda nothing ever sticks?

Work In Progress Preparing lowpoly models for printing - Fallout 4 Deathclaw

Hello everyone! I'm in the process of preparing some Fallout 4 models for printing (personal use, can't share) but I thought some people might be interested by the process.

Picture 1 is the final result, picture 2 is the low poly model subdivided, and picture 3 is the raw mesh.

I got the original mesh from the game sources, but it's really low-poly. So I got on a hunt for a method to restore it to a decent enough standard to send it to the printer. My method so far:

  • import model in blender
  • subdivide modifier, set to 5
  • put the normal map through a program to transform it into a displacement map
  • use a displacement modifier with the displacement map

There is some tweaking here and there, but so far it's pretty straightforward. The next step is a test print, to see how good it'll look and how well it takes paint, and figure out how to import the rig and animation th get cool poses out of him.

Hope you find it useful!

Question Wash station lid cracked?

Hey guys, I've recently bought a used wash station with some minor cracks in it.

I had the inner wash tank full of ipa standing in my enclosure with the orange UV lid ontop. 3 days later I found it cracked all over like that. Could that be because of IPA fumes or something?
