Glad to see such a welcoming community around 3D Resin Printing. It's definitely what got me into the hobby. You say "these settings would not work for a large scale model" but why not? Why not export the model once it's supported, re-import it, scale it up for transform and see what you get. I think the end result would be pretty surprising (although hollowing and drainage would be necessary)

[@Switchblade39]

I use these supports and I just put the model in hot water, the supports just fall off.

[@chrisalmich3071]

I love how the 3D printing community is so damn wholesome. Greg's settings are amazing and I'm eternally grateful that he's doing the pre-supports for Artisan Guild. Resin printing is getting easier and easier thanks to creators like you, Greg, and many others.

@@UncleJessy So nice of KZbin to include the emote ( 🤘 ) of the damaged hand that you did on that King Leoric when you pulled two of his fingers off..

[@iiinsaiii]

Tip: after the IPA wash. Run the supports under hot water for 15 to 20 seconds and you will see how easy they pop off. Even with heavy supports.

[@jojobe5625]

I always put my print in hot water (not boiling) and it's just come off easy by hand i'm not using clipper

[@dodobarbar]

Exactly! This is the course of cheap resins. They are like PLA when it comes to temperature. So, if you need a functional part such resins are no good! The TG is tooo low. But you validly made your point. Soften the supports under the hot water! Thumbs up!

[@DesignIncase]

​@@dodobarbar If the resin is a lot more heat tolerant, turn to microwaved water. I think with the support tip ends at around 50C they should be soft enough pull easily. But yeah I've stopped using snips now that I warm by cleaning liquids to 50C. They may fall off pulling them out of the bath. It's magical.

[@LoLGrimfyre]

I use a blow dryer myself. Works about the same i think :)

[@Floating.Point.]

Water emulsify uncured resin so if you wanna avoid cloudy or deformed/warped results, you need to avoid any contact with water whatsoever until the piece has thoroughly been IPA washed and UV cured unless your resin is water washable.

[@zigfaust]

Pay attention people. This is one of the most important vids you can watch for 3D resin printing. Sick work as always Unkah J.

[@ImaginationToForm]

I happened to watch his video the other day but hadn't been able to try them yet. This shows a good reason to try them. The skate is so useful to remove print.

[@UncleJessy]

Oh man they are really dang great.

[@PrintedPrimate]

Great head to head Jessy! I’ve been using Greg’s settings with a ton of success on an Elegoo Mars. I’m going to agree with others and say you only need to add two more things. Checking for islands w/Photon Validator and soaking in *Hot Water* prior to support removal. You will be pulling complex support systems off with one hand wondering where this has been your whole life! And I bet you’ll be surprised at how many 10’s or 100’s of small 1-5 pixel islands you missed. Photon File Validator hunts them down with ease.

[@alexandermumm3922]

classy move referencing back to his supports by sending people to his channel! You're one of the good ones Uncle Jessy

[@pdxcontent]

You have the best personality for videos! I’m a big fan

[@danielbateman6518]

As someone who hasn't got a 3d printer yet, but is trying to get a much knowledge for when I do get one. Videos like these are great, I watched 3d printing Pros video and thought it was way too much work than it was worth. Now I understand better that it's actually preferable to do his way, especially if I'll be printing multiple copies of the same miniature/model/part.

[@UncleJessy]

Hmmm looks like I need to look into some 3D Printable cable management stuff for my desk 😬🤘

[@3Dprint4you]

More time setting them up but considerably less time removing and cleaning. Sounds like a winner to me. I use the auto supports on light or medium and then go back and tweak as needed. Thanks Uncle Jessy!

[@arlannotness]

Nice shoutout, he really does make great content. I know I would not be where I am today with resin printing without his tips, tricks, and suggestions.

[@Badbunz84]

I have been using his supports for a while now and I found that if you have issues with the light supports you can leave the contact area and depth the same and beef up the rest of the support for flawless functionality. But it’s not just his settings. He does a great job of teaching you chitubox and really how to place the supports.

[@bipolarchemist]

Your model now looks like he is throwing some 🤟🏾. Seems appropriate. Having printed a few of Printed Obsession's xenomorph, I am all to familiar with breaking off the occasional finger or three. I've tweaked 3DPP's supports a little, but he has solid tips and I think I've only ever used heavy supports for anchoring the base and the only fails I can say I've experienced are from either missed islands or underexposure. That can be the real killer with some of the thinner supports failing, I've found. Stay safe and keep up the great content.

[@CheapTricks]

You can adjust your auto support settings to actually so the same style of supporting. I use it on my minis and let them soak in alcohol for a few minutes to a couple hours. After they soften a bit the supports fall off and the minis reatain a bit of flex to prevent damage and they retain paint really well

[@dan64740]

Really like your videos very informative I’m a newbie to 3D printing I’ve got a anycubic photon and learning the right supports and orientation to stop getting a failed print is definitely a learning curve, really like the hands on demos you do it’s helped me a lot. Thank you 🤘

[@UncleJessy]

Glad they have helped. Yeah lots to learn but amazing stuff in the end with the right settings. All about that fine tuning

[@mvm3897]

Another great video. I've been doing what you do. Auto supports and then I go in with some of 3D Printing Pro settings adding and removing manually as needed. I'm slowly dialing back the density and amout to see just how few supports I need. I've been printing on my Transform non stop for 7 days now and have run through 8 bottles of the Siyara Tech Fast, based in your recommendation. As others say the hot water makes my medium to lite supports basicly fall off.

[@UncleJessy]

Yeah it’s crazy how they just disconnect. Stay tuned for some more BIG stuff later this week 😬🤘

[@thomashartl8073]

Thanks for the video. I spent a lot time for setting manual support in the past, but at moment, the light auto-supports from Chitubox are so good, that I use this and set only some additional supports, if realy necessar. I printet many 1:32 miniatures with this and had never problems.

[@Starganderfish]

His support settings are awesome. Been using them for months. However, in my opinion at least, his bias against auto-supports is nonsense. Particularly if you use Prusa-Slicer, autosupports are great. Apply his settings for thinner supports, then auto-generate them and, as you previously did, clean up and manually add or remove as neccessary. Why spend an hour re-doing what software already does just fine?? These programs have gotten better with every release, and autosupports are a godsend. Plus as others have said, a little extra heat helps even more with removal, I use a hair dryer to warm the model/supports up after washing. I'd love to see you do a V3 of this test using his settings but following your own "autosupports + manual tweaking" workflow. That will give you the best of both worlds.

[@UncleJessy]

Yeah I’m guessing it all comes down to personal preference. Thanks for checking out the vidya

[@crafthappylife]

Have you ever tried removing supports after pouring over near boiling water on the print? I use an electric kettle to heat up water and then pour over the support connections to the prints and the supports come off super easy. Great video, keep it up.

[@UncleJessy]

Yep! I should have mentioned that. Amazing how they just pop right off

[@drewforchic9083]

I use 3DPP's technique's for printing D&D minis, and I literally don't even use pliers or clippers for them. I use needle nose tweezers, and I do absolutely no sanding or cleaning up afterwards, because I simply do not need to. Highly recommend all his videos.

[@gettingpolitical]

For halot users and newbies: If you have a halot one plus Initial exposure 22 sec, exposure 1.9 sec, lift 7mm, bottom layer 3, light off delay 2 sec. Also if you ever have a problem with failures do to prints sticking to the fep. Use 3-in-1 silicone lubricant spray. Give it a light sprits on the fep use a microfiber cloth to rub it around and cover the whole fep. Then pour resin in. This will prevent prints from clinging to fep.

[@KentuckyFriedGamers]

I love his support settings and have been using them since he first started his channel. I have been tweaking them according to my machine and resin, but have had great results on all of my prints.

[@crussty3d]

This video raises so many questions.... Like how are you keeping the hair so stylish under quarantine conditions??? I've got the total Bob Ross going about now... Secondly- I'd like to see how these adapt to the heavier settings we use on the Phenom for MONGO prints!!!

[@UncleJessy]

bwahaha I have been self grooming for a few years now. Maybe only once or twice a year to get a real hair cut. Just clippers and the mirror. YEP! Already taking a look at big boy supports with some tweaks from Dr Pro

[@Pesto-64]

Do you put the plate and prints in the ultrasonic cleaning all together? Are you using Mean Green instead of IPA?

[@UncleJessy]

Normally no, but since I like to show the print cleaned on the buildplate I will. In general It should be okay since almost everhthjng is metal. Mean green for 15-20 mins in the sonic cleaner

I have been printing the pre-supported Artisan Guild miniatures - 3DPrintingPro provides the pre-supported versions - not because I want the models, but because the feeling of pulling the supports off is satisfying. (I mean, I don’t really have a need for an army of Oni orcs... yet.)

[@FigmentVFX]

I mainly use auto supports but i almost always use the smallest size. (lychee slicer) I find using a few more smaller supports is a bit better than less thicker supports. Less damage when i remove them. I also use a heat gun to soften them and they just melt off with zero effort.

[@3DJapan]

Funny to see this now as I'm currently setting up supports AND I'll be printing on the Sonic Mini.

Hi, what Program did you use for setting the supports? I'am an absolut beginer and iam looking for a good program. Thanks

[@jm2114]

Thanks Jessy (so want to type the other name, LOL) Good info as well as justified some of my observations on supports. Your support setups got me started with success and then have been tuning as I go based on my results. His insight just highlighted some areas that I was missing. I am probably going to contact him on a manufacturing side supports that I am moving into based on a couple clients request after seeing a CNC version of parts verses a Resin 3D printed part. :) keep it coming on the videos

[@ApexPredatorOutdoors]

Honest question, why did you print that model with a flat base at 45 degrees instead of straight? Seems like a waste of resin?

[@rosebuddesign635]

My goodness when you accidentally pulled the supports I was like : "The fingers!!" 😳😂😂

[@UncleJessy]

Haha yeah big time oops there

[@Schyzofrenic87]

I usually dunk my prints in hot water before curing , allows me to snap off the supports without damaging the model ( it makes the resin a lot softer and more likely to co-operate ) never lost a finger again

[@Akumatron]

Gonna need to try it myself. Questions on your print and after care process. Do you go print, wash, remove supports, then UV cure? Or is the order different?

[@colinfielder6695]

Really great prints Uncle Jessy maybe you should ask FAB365 to assist with this issue of supports though?

[@jakobfindlay4136]

I like my supports to peel away when I'm done so I currently use .4mm contact diameter .2mm contact depth 4-6mm spacing and angles all the way up to 90 so it supports everything

[@jeffblack1967]

As a follow up, does the time spent supporting the model, offset the post processing necessary.

[@DesignIncase]

Putting in the time is worth it to me. A poorly supported model can result is a poor print. Auto supports may do the bare minimum to technically cover the vital areas but not properly support it or have a back up in case a support fails.

[@InterstellarModeler]

I'll be watching 3DprintingPro....does this strategy also apply to busts?

[@SuperGx360]

Just started watching 3DPrintingPro yesterday for opinions on the Sonic Mini, curious if you would recommend it over the Mars at this point? Maybe a good Vs. Video

[@UncleJessy]

Oh I like that idea! Both print great to be honest. And I looooove my mini and my mars. Would be a tough call

[@Kiyamlol]

i really enjoy your videos. i got my first elegoo mars 3 recently. Do you have a tutorial on cleaning up the model after its printed? when i remove the supports i get this pointy ends on the model like yours XD. What do you use to 'sand' these?

Great design, and walkthrough Thanks for sharing :-)

[@UncleJessy]

[@emanuelpruker763]

love your chair! :)

[@Duplacorn]

I personally use a raft and then set my supports to .7mm diameter both middle and top and just autogenerate in chitubox and that works pretty well for me, I mostly use my resin printer for miniatures so take that with a grain of salt since I don’t really know how that may work with heavier prints. (Mars pro 2)

[@bondoman16]

What resin are you using here mate? it looks so soft and durably

[@briankostrba4897]

Jessy...I have a off question regarding the "Pause" button. Can you use it to check the begging process of the print? or is it a button you should not every use?

[@UncleJessy]

Yeah I will hit that withint the first maybe 15 mins of the print to make sure everhthjng is properly sticking. If you do that later when the actual print is printing (not the supports) it might cause you to get a line in your print

[@Cadaverine1990]

This right here is why there needs to be a Top Down DLP printer coming out, even at $1-2,000 it would be worth it due to the reduction and hassle of failed prints. The problem is no one wants to have 4 liters of resin in a tank.... However I have lost $100s in failed prints due to sticking to the film or being skewed due to the pressures exerted on more solid style prints.

Back when I was using Moai with Asura3d, the default support setting had 5% Density on supports and they were thicker.

Not using warm water to remove supports? They come off even cleaner & easier. It's a tip straight from 3D printing pro. Edit: I should have read the comments first. I see someone else already mentioned this. Thanks for the video.

I feel dumb. Is the 3d photo res really that fragile? In my head, it prints vertical, in layers, and its hanging...shouldnt the base be the only support you need?

Personally I would have removed the base with meshmixer and print that as a separate part. The mini should be angled less then 10 degrees so most of the damage is on the bottom.
