1/3

Hi guys ! Just started resin print with a Anycubic photon 3 max. I want to print this model but I’m not sure about my strategy. I watch a ton of videos about printing functional/flat part and I was thinking that printing it flat would be the best option.

At very first I printed the RERF and it appears that the number 4 was the best so I increased the exposure time from 3s to 4.25s.

So for the first real try I printed the piece flat on the bed, top part against the bed with auto medium support : it stuck to the FEP at mid print and the top part (printed against the bed) was too melted like elephant foot with a lot of details missing.

I filtered the resin, cleaned the vat, spray a bit of wd40 then swapped it, slightly send the metal bed and reset 0 z position, pushing a bit harder that the first time.

For the second try I decided to print it top face slightly lifted from the bed and with a light angle (2.5) and auto fine supports. It successfully remain stick to the bed but at mid print the piece wrapping from the support.

I’m not entirely happy with the 2.5 degrees angle because grooves are too visible but if had printed it a the « perfect angle » (around 48 °) the printing time goes from 2 hours to 7 hours.

The pictures illustrates the second try.

What could you suggest me to achieve it ?
