i tried the XP2 Validation Matrix and it came out alright, except a bit bent… does anyone know why that is?
i'm having issues with mine. where some cones on the failure show, but at the same time, barely any of the success cones are made well enough to connect. is there anything else that i should edit besides exposure time?
My favorite calibration test: a humble 10mmx10mmx10mm cube. (Often set to 5mm height to save time)
It's so simple to measure with calipers and understand what you need to do to the exposure. After that is dialed in the cones of calibration to test tensile strength and that tells me how many and what size of support I need.
How do I print any of these they all just get completely stuck to the bed then shatter what? Do I need to make a raft and add supports to every test?
video starts at 4:04
The cones of calibration is the only one I use.
Amazing video man. Got a subscription outta me ❤
the cones dont work for me what so ever
But… What about ALL THE OTHER SETTINGS FOR RESIN AND PRINTING OTHER THAN EXPOSURE TIME 0_o
In Lychee at least. Burn layers, normal layers, number of layers, layer thickness, transition count, lift speed, retract speed, wait before print, wait after print, wait after lift, light intensity….
"it's really hard to tell which {XP2} is better"
They're both overexposed LMFAO
I just found this video, so please excuse my late comment. How does the Anycubic RERF (Resin Exposure Range Finder) compare to these tests?
I see a lot of videos on exposure time, and not a lot of UV power, I know some resins make recommendations on this, but they also recommend exposure time, wouldn't it make a big difference as well?
Cones of Calibration is definitely mini prints ONLY, validated this with 25-30C temp resin and "overexposed" according to CoC. Anything over 250g would fail with heavy supports, upping exposure time despite working on other printers etc.
Warhammer minis it works great.
Where can I get the cones of calibration
5:00 Freaking what dude? The test on the right is clearly the better of the two; do you even know how to use a calibration print? The line voids at the right end of the bottom row are filled in while the lines above are clear until just about the end, showing clear signs of overexposure. Reaaaaaaaaally shouldn't be posting tutorials with such a poor grasp on the basics.
Thank you! This is very helpful for a beginner like me! 👍🏻
@2:00 You mean something like out of focus, blurry YouTube videos…?
Please kill this stupid music!
Hey Man! Awesome review, thanks a lot. I was wondering where I can buy that Centipede/Wormlike creature you have there? is there any patreon or something like that?
Thanks for the video. Had a saturn 2 for 2 years and hasnt been great experience. Finally was able to get it to print decently but wanted to move to bigger higher detail stuff. Do to that i started over to fine tune my printer and im about to hire someone cause im at my breaking point lol
I have watched and re-watched this so many times. Wish I could give it more than one like 🙂 Thanks!
What is the model at 00:45?
Greetings, I'm fairly new to 3D printing and I have tried the flat test, but I appreciate the information provided and the different options you've provided. I will be trying a couple of these…
If only exposure time was the key to great prints, all these these prints are meaningless if you are not controlling all your other variables. Ambient temp leads to more fails than exposure time. For me its Cones of Calibration every time with a new resin as 90% of my prints are pre-supported patreon/MMF prints
Wow, Super Metroid art… that's a instant like, also great video, just got an Acf film so its time to do some work
Biggest factory not mentioned: temperature in the room the printer is in. I printed in a 73 degree room at 3.5s just fine, moved my setup to the basement and had to print at 5s to pass the cones of calibration test. The basement is at least 10 degrees colder than my upstairs. Lessons learned.
Thanks for the video! Can you help me? How can I set the base exposure time, it's the first to be set?
