It still prints great, but damn is it not that pretty anymore
And yes, it’s still flat
I question your definition of flat.
I’m always using a plastic spatula, so mine is pristine.
No sharp protrusions that could puncture or damage the screen or vat. So I say flat.
I was never successful using a plastic spatula so I used a metal one
Yeah, mines got a few deep gashes in it from printing g217 lmao
G217?
That super clear non-yellowing resin?
Very nice
Most of my gouges came from ABS-like resin as well
Yeah, it comes out real nice and clear with the only downsides being that it sticks to the buildplate like concrete and supports are damn near impossible to remove Had to pull out a rubber mallet to remove a print once
I’m more annoyed by the state of my plastic lid, to be honest. No amount of IPA has ever succeeded in making it clean. 😂
Luckily my lid is currently mostly clean barring a few smudges from incidents
I usually change my gloves before I touch it so it gets fresh gloves every time
Edit: Also be careful with IPA on acrylic as it will damage it. I learned that with not 3D printing related stuff but long story short it makes it brittle and can make it foggy.
Thanks for letting me know. :) Gladly (i guess), I gave up quickly and kept it dirty, so I’ve never seen any damage (presuming it can be seen). With my second resin printer, I similarly learned to really really be cautious! I now have two pairs of gloves, one for before washing the print, and one for after. It sort of does the trick, but the desk on which the printers sit is still a mess (a bit less so since I use a silicon cover on top of it and make sure to manipulate things only in that area).
Abrasive blasted for the perfect balanced of destruction free removal and print sticks.
I got a flex plate. 0 issues so far.
No the person you replied to but I have the one from https://whambam3d.com/collections/fbs-for-resin and love it
Idk what this guy is using, but I’ve installed wham bam flex plates on 2 large resin printers and I consider it almost a requirement. It makes print removal super easy and installation is real easy.
The flex plate makes it 1000x easier to remove the print, but I had an issue with it coming off the magnet a tiny bit when pulling off the FEP and sliding laterally a bit causing layer shift. It needs some little 90⁰ tabs on the sides to keep it aligned with the plate.
