I've been trying to find the easiest way to eliminate supports detected by the Proximity Detector. There is not a function (like with islands) to take you to each problem support in turn. So try this - you may not be able to find the support in error if it's a mini, but you can eliminate it. First, in prepare mode, in the top right corner is an eye with a line through it - Hide All Supports. Click it. Next, from the menu at the top of the screen, select View - Support Visibility - Show only supports in proximity error. Next to the eye you clicked earlier, it should tell you the number of supports you've selected. Even if you can't see them, just hit the Delete key on your keyboard and the problem supports will be removed. Then you can run Island Detection and see if there's anything you need to fix as a result.

Dumb question perhaps. But have you noticed any correlation between how filled up is the build plate and how likely are printing errors to appear? Would you recommend to fill the plate as much as possible or to keep it around 70% or so? Thanks for the wisdom

Thank you for your contributions to the community. Your channel is my first stop every time I want to brush up on my support skills.

Amazing work!

Doesnt this take about 40 minutes to print? The flat calibration prints are quicker so you can dial it in faster. Then come back with this calibration print to see if it needs tweaking.

Buddy, great video, but you really need to consider the music volume... We want to hear you , not the music :)

Thank you for that. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

So PTFE lube doesn't do anything? Funny I used it every time I changed my resin on my mono x 6k, and I rarely ever had any failed prints. I stopped using it when I bought the M5s and the M5s pro and now I have much much more failed prints. Meanwhile the Mono x 6k still prints perfectly and I still use the lube on it. Guess Ill stop using it on the 6k and see how the prints come out.

please make the cones of calibration V2, this thing is unecessarily tall

Hi does the gcode method work with halot mage pro?

I can’t get the cones to print optimally, other test prints give excellent results and I got excellent quality 3D prints using settings found using those other methods…what am I doing wrong?

where is v3 of the cones of callibration?

link broken to download :(

For a noob like me this was so well explained and easy to follow. Thank you Sir keep up the good work.

OMG! Ty incredible amount of work here. Wow

how can we get the cones of calibration v3? the link on the website doesn't seem to work

this is clever. sadly I have to clean up perfectly after every print. I'd need a cleaning station ;)

Where is PUCK for V3 is it only on your patron?

the link is broken

These are what I run for my business and I love them. I've only had a few issues. The wifi on one of the machines is hit or miss after a few months and the menu screen on 2 of them looks like I hit it with something hard even though I'm always gentle. The biggest issue was a print screen failure after 3 months of legit non-stop printing and Elegoo replaced it free of charge. They're great with warranty claims.

Hello, at one point i believe you said you encourage people to build their own resin printer? If you could find a way to add the multiple exposure test to other printers. Like the Saturn 4 has, i think it could be lucrative. Im surprised it’s not just code that anyone can use.

Hi! Any chance you would be willing to let me buy a copy of the digital models so I can print this for my players? I know it's an old upload so you may never see this, but fingers crossed! 🤞🤞

Does this leave a mark on the bottom of my resin vat?

Stl please

I printed out 1/6th model a few years back. Was one of my first prints. One day I was sitting there and her head cracked open and leaked out runny resin. Scared the crap outta me.

Having an issue where the Success side cones aren't all printing, and the fail side are printing. So, I'm getting one side saying over exposure and the other side saying under exposure. What am I doing wrong?

I am very new to 3D printing. Does this also work on the Mars 3 pro?

Thanks!

Ive watched parts of this a couple of times, but this time i got to see it start to finish. Incredible information un an easy to understand way. I look forward to getting Lychee. Please more of these videos please! 😊

After it has drained is it safe to throw away, or should I clean it first?

You are amazing. spent the past 2 days printing exposure test and not getting the results I expected. took the time to watch this video rather than wasting resin and everything clicked. Please keep up the passing of knowledge. Its helping this hobby grow.

Thanks for taking the time and care to show us this well made guide

When i apply blockers there is no update button? How is that possible

this is so so so helpful! thank you for the information, i think everyone coming into this hobby should take the time to digest this video while printing and messing around with the calibration piece.

Thanks. The most useful video for beginners that I've seen. Lots to take in. Helped me a lot. Knowledge is power!

Really great tutorial !!! Thanks! 👍

I'm about 2 months into this whacky world with my starter Christmas present photon 4k. I've seen these lychee videos, but haven't been interested in diving in too deep with a new slicer when the Anycubic one has worked. This weekend may have changed that. The deeper I get into supports, the more I want to control them. Simple models work fine with the current slicer, but this weekend I ran across a model where I need more control. Might be time to make the next leap.

Thank you guys

Eh, as a DM myself I know there's hang ups about certain mechanics of the game but I just got over it. Players are constantly asking how bad an enemy looks and I just started giving them the numbers. I am in the process of 3D printing a dungeon right now and I am just going to make sure hidden areas are pre-built and excluded until found. I don't think the players being able to see the rest of the map that big of a deal.

OK so i have an Elegoo Saturn 3 ultra and I tried the Gcode and it flashed like it was going to run then nothing. I thought this printer handled gcode just fine? what am I missing?

Wonder how a dungeon would go Playing in the dark and lighting up the dungeon as you go to reveal it.

Holy shit dude.

Wow! Great information! Thank you. I still have a lot to learn. I'm not using this slicer yet, but I will be soon.

Hello, I downloaded the zip file but it only contained the AutoMixNPrint. Do you have a link to the quick/infinite cycles? Thanks

What have you set it up in chitubox? as it isn't listed on the drop down box.

I'm 10 days into this world using a low-end Photon mono 4k, and find myself falling headfirst down the rabbit hole. This video was amazing and I'll be looking for your community.

So, I run Cubes and I can get the cubes to fit with a exposure if 1.8S on Anycubic Mono X6 with UV set to 50%, But only a few of the pillars will be complete. And they are not straight, the look bent. I run cones and none of the pillars succeed. If I bump up the exposure, then if I run the cubes they will no longer fit. Not sure what else I can do.

Congrats on your Patreon journey, wish you great success.

Can I pay you to teach me how to make lenses so clean that they look non-existent? But I also find your supporting tips helpful so I'll check out the patreon offers.
