Bigest print to date- update #54

[Synchron]

I love this print!
How far above the container the printer was mounted?
and a second question (i asked before on another print) why not printing it lying?
Maybe in something like a flower-box like this:

Thanks Sychron!
The printer was nearly 3 feet above the resin at the start of the print.

Altho there are resins that have far less shrinkage, the resin that we are printing with shrinks 8 percent!
thats alot, if we were to print side ways I think the rocket would deform dew to the fact that 8% of the length of the rocket is 3.2 cm of non symmetrical deformation.
Resins have come a long way recently, I think we could find one that works for peachy and dosent have this high shrinkage factor.
untill we get a low shrinkage resin, positioning things so they are small and symmetrical in the x and y will probably work better.

On that topic, do you have a number on shrinkage for the peachyjuice stiff yet? This is probably come up before, but I haven't seen any info on it yet.

I dont know, currently we havent made plans to launch rockets again.
Were very focused on doing everything we need to do to ship printers.

Hehe. Fair enough. Considering how far down the list I am, it's all good.

I do still want to see it fly eventually

Peachy Juice Stiff is currently just the same a SUB G from Maker Juice
so its shrinkage is 8% , some day we plan to take the time to modifi the chemical makeup to further improve it spesificaly for peachy printer.

here is the technical data sheet :

Much appreciated Rylan, I realize you must have better things to do than fish up links for me/us at the forum, and it speaks tons to how much you believe in this project.

Actualy everyone here at 3d print board is pretty important to me, a great community is priceless .. Right now my top priority task is held up vi a 3.5 mm HSS reamer that should be here tomorrow morning so I have some time. I need the reamer for making the machine that makes the aluminum part of the magnetic damper in the printer.

Hi, one more question to the “lying print“-shrinkage problem. Have you done shrinkage tests? For example printing the same object in multiple positions to see how the shrinking effekts the result at the end? Do you have pics of that?
(Sorry for my english i hope you understand what i mean)
Thx!

No we have not done any test like that... That is a very good idea tho!

wow - 8% shrinkage !

lol I was annoyed at abs 1%

Obviously more to getting accurate prints from sla than I thought :-)
