I just want to add. Anti aliasing will also change supports that contact the model at an angle. So if you are seeing failures after turning on AA but it was fine before you might need to change your exposure

Smoothing the inside of a hollow model use the Quality slider underneath the hollow 3D thickness movel it up to 2.0 it will smooth the inside of your hollow prints mate! Use the interior/exterior setting over on left to view the inside to place your own inner supports! Hope this helps you out! It would be Nice to help out in return!

@Ultimaniacx4 8 ай бұрын

So many supports on the inside makes it really hard to clean. Uncleaned, uncured resin on the inside can lead to cracking. I've seen posts on reddit of people's miniatures basically exploding after over a year because leftover resin slowly pressurized. I only ever put internal supports on internal islands. I also leave holes big enough to snake an ultraviolet LED to cure the insides of hollowed models.

@Groundeffected 8 ай бұрын

I can say with confidence not a single one of my statues or miniatures have ever cracked and I’ve made at least 1 statue a week for over 3 years. In my first year I made at least 2 a week. 99% of the time cracked prints is linked with water washable resin too I only use standard resins because of exactly that issue

@dougpridgen9682 Жыл бұрын

Phrozen Water Washable resin is comparable to your solution but in one bottle. It's strong but also has some give and flexibility, which overcomes the brittle problem inherent in a lot of resins.

The newest update to lychee allows you to save 6 support presets (at least in pro version) its awesome. Ive learned too that using siraya tech fast navy Grey mixed with obsidian black tenacious(my go to mix) requires beefier supports or it rips off. But it doesnt seem to mar or damage as much from heavys. Though my heavys are basically what ur medium is, then i have an "anchor" setting that is .5tip and a 2.0 stem diameter to hold things down. I tend to keep most stems 1.5 even on lights and just shrink tip size

Those jokes are possibly you might be a little over exposed. I tend to go on the lowest side of exposure to get as much detail as I can and the supports would technically be changing with the exposure too the more exposed the thicker and less the thinner of that makes sense. This is one of the reasons it’s tough to share settings cos there’s so many variables.

I could provide fake ID, of course, but then there's number 2 - there is no ability to use the slicer without being online afaik. That means that if you have no internet, you ain't slicing. It also brings into question WHY the software needs to phone home, especially if you're using a free version. I like my data and my programs to live with me... call me silly, I know :)
