[@choncord]

Or just sanding down the piece that was too thick

[@odj310388]

Top tip when working with resin printing: If you are doing a small part like that which can fit multiples on the build plate do lots of different tolerances on the same print as it'll take the same amount of time to print but a lot less time for you overall. Granted this method uses a bit more resin but you've already proved how cheap it is on the video!

[@jeremyspecce]

Good tip, I think it’s hard to get that in your head when you’re used to a filament printer.

[@shamanfryd]

Also using a resin printer for more functional parts you might want to try adding like a syratech Tenacity resin into the mix. It makes the resin a lot less brittle even at like a 10% mix. A 100% mix gives you an almost injection molded sheer on it which might be better for the sliding in piece made here. There are even some new crazy resins out there made out of used tires that act like full blown vulcanized rubber. I think Goodyear actually had a go at making it. Warning your house will smell like burnt tires when using... One more tip, resin printers hate flat surfaces parallel to the build plate like what happened on your first print. Angle it at 45% and you will generally have a perfect print on your first go.

[@corican]

@@jeremyspecce I'm new: why would it be different for a filament printer?

[@jorble_dorble]

@@corican Resin printers print the entire later at once so the size of the footprint of the object being printed doesn't make it take longer. With filament printers the nozzle path gets longer with larger objects so the print time would be multiplied by the number of objects you print.

[@corican]

@@jorble_dorble thanks very much!

[@JustTechGuyThings]

When doing resin prints, you should rotate your parts so there's no parallel planes to the build plate... that makes it look good when you're supporting the bottom of your print. Your swelling happens because liquid builds up above your plate as it's getting dipped in/out of the resin. Just a 5-10 degree rotation is enough sometimes.

[@joshualiebrecht578]

When printing flat surfaces with resin, its generally best to put the parts at an angle I've found that I get a much more accurate print. I normally do about a 30° angel off the build plate

[@elliotmarks06]

Most of your projects are for very niche use cases, but this could actually be a really practical print for a lot of people. It's great to see it made available for anyone to print!

[@andy_warb]

Morley, I don’t wanna be that guy off the internet but it looks like you’re handling uncured resin without gloves. Please get yourself some gloves for this stuff, it can be *really* dangerous (only saying because I care!)

[@JonathanRansom]

This is true, do some research. We aren't the safety police! Haha

[@evanbarnes9984]

People need to be less sensitive about others posting good safety advice. I don't get why some people are such snowflakes who can't handle the idea of safety and other people caring. I don't think this applies to Morley! I hope he receives the tip, it's important

[@kraftaculousgreekgodofcraf1113]

I’m just here for the glove-less handling of Resin comments

[@Striker_AgingGamers]

I must Agree... As someone who does exclusively resin printing... You need the nitrile gloves when handling the part before final cure.. and really you need to use a decent mask. Just want you too stay healthy and not become allergic.

[@fernleafmedia]

@@kraftaculousgreekgodofcraf1113 I have resigned to these resin comments.

[@tadhgd350]

another tip for resin printing, i STRONGLY recommend wearing gloves and not touching it until after 10 minutes of post curing, as well as angling your prints and adding supports. flat supported pieces facing the build plate directly will always warp.

[@miso89]

You have to angle your prints, resin prints need a bit of an angle to print flat surfaces right.

[@billm2158]

Good to see your process and even better to see you have made it to the 20th century with your metrication!

[@NinaThoren]

This was such a smart solution! I was a bit worries that the magnets would have a stronger connection than the glue but that doesn't seem to be a problem, great video!

[@MorleyKert]

Thanks man!

[@Druforithe]

Yay! Love watching you troubleshoot your print designs.

[@acemilo]

With resin printing, you want to tilt the parts. There's calculators to get the exact optimum angle, but 40 to 45 degrees is generally pretty good. Also, you shouldn't touch the uncured resin with your hands. I've heard once it's washed even before curing is OK to touch, but never touch the liquid resin.

[@GianlucaRoccaGian]

Hey Morley, I love when you show some fusion design!

[@jakeshortt2479]

The tolerances also may not line up due to over exposure during printing. The exposure time per layer generally needs to be tuned on a resin-to-resin basis for optimal settings, but it is something to keep in mind when experiencing tolerance issues.

[@SpaceShrimp]

You really should print your pieces at a slight angle to avoid resin buildup and this kind of bowing :) great video :)

[@JesperMakes]

Great video. I have noted I'll need to buy a set of DJI mics AND a 3D printer 😁

[@LaNoturna1115]

Casually scrolls by metal mounts for 15 bucks in his OWN video, actually insane

[@PerformanceTechEngineering]

Great video as always! Super excited to see some resin prints! I always try to print flat on the build plate if possible. Adding some chamfers or fillets will make it easier to remove and prevent elephants foot form the longer bottom layer cure times. If you can't print on the build plate, orient the model 45deg and add more supports. This will prevent the entire surface area from pulling on the supports all from a large flat surface. Last I would recommend ABS-like resin. It is much stronger and less brittle for functional parts. Keep the awesome videos coming!

[@MorleyKert]

Thanks for the tips!

[@brianvales4760]

Very interesting. I havne't had that problem with the hot shoe mount being too tight. However, if it ever becomes a problem at least it can be fixed!

[@shamanfryd]

If you did get one of the factory clips maybe try taking a fine grit sandpaper and sand the bottom surface that attaches to the camera. Might free up some clearance.

[@andertenis]

I don't know what slicer you're using, but I would recommend using lychee slicer, I have used it for a while and does most of the stuff for you like auto orientation + it's easy to make changes to settings

[@MarkJaquith]

When I have a fit issue like this, I like to measure the as-printed dimension, sand it until it fits, and then measure the sanded version. Then do some math to figure out the v2 dimension.

[@automaticprojects]

Great video, although not a great ad for resin printing. I think in this case a good FDM printer will print with better tolerances with less warping.

[@jonjon737]

[@Foodgeek]

I love the DJI mic, but actually don't use the receiver under normal circumstances. I just hang the transmitter off my shirt and start recording from there. I does require me to synchronize the audio with my on camera audio, but that takes seconds :) Really cool design, though. I'll print it for those other cases. I'm thinking ASA :)

[@JavierGonzalez-ne8rb]

Nice work!!!. Please use protection with the resine

[@ausieborn]

I'm wondering why you didn't sand down the side original clip slightly? if the fit was that snug, that's like two seconds with some sandpaper, no?

[@markneugebauer9557]

The glasses look great on you,

[@SecularMentat]

On my resin printer I try not to have flat surfaces parallel to the build plate because when it pulls out there's a LOT of suction force. If you angle the pieces they're FAR less likely to deform early on and you can use less supports. But also that does tend to deform the shape a little bit.

[@SecularMentat]

If you find that you 3d resin prints are too fragile, consider adding some Tenacious to your resin. It's stretchy by itself, but mixed with normal Grey, and ABS-like, it tends to make the parts far less brittle. (like 1:10 mixture Tenacious:Grey) It's what I've used in the past and it makes far more resilient parts for practical use.

[@Coffeetheegreat]

Me waiting patiently for another furniture build👀 love the videos!

[@MorleyKert]

[@Andy81m]

Mechanical resin prints best with softer rubber resin. And flat surfaces always print with an angle. Resin printer make best results with corners at the start of printing.

[@guythejedi]

great video as always, tip clean the saw dust off your camera, no good for the lens.

[@randyhernandez9785]

Came out great, can you print it using the Bambu lab, I would like to see how it will be the difference between the resin and Bambu lab. Thanks for all your videos

[@SaitoGray]

You really need to add an angle when you print dimensionally accurate part, the suction of the FEP film will deform the part if you print like you did the first time.

Not trying to start a war resin vs fdm however sorta think fdm would have had less bubbling / look worse but be more functional and less failures though I have had curling on occasion as well. Also cool to try out the new toy.

FDM printing doesnt have the accuracy to do this unless you have a tiny nozzle but at that point resin makes more sense

[@MrQuickshot23]

To keep costs down, water soluble resin gets rid of the need for all that alcohol in your wash tank. Once I switched, I will never go back.

[@Freakon850]

I feel like you should have put the original clip into the shoe before putting the receiver onto the mount. that way what you had happen where you have to push on the receiver to get it to lock in wasn't required. It's probably hinged so you can take the receiver off while leaving the clip in the shoe and fold it down so that it isn't in the way while not in use making it something to leave in shoe when not in use unless you are switching between cameras.

[@richardepps8500]

Also, random compliment but I love that you wear headbands to keep your hair out of your face while working. It’s adorable!!

I could produce something very similar and possibly stronger with my filament printer. My reproduction of what he is creating in this video would be substantially stronger than what he has produced. What really made me raise an eyebrow is even with the high level of detail he had to "alter" it with a knife anyways.... So then I have a bunch of follow-up questions, why didn't he use filament when he has such a sexy printer in the background, is it an issue with that printer alone, would the type of resin change the finished product or does the reproduction design need altering?
