Hi Rudschul - I assume the layers are solid and because the sintering melts the powder into a smaller volume there is not enough powder in the next layer to fill that volume. I think you are right in thinking you need to increase the lift of the reservoir. I don't know how quickly the Sintratec software development is but it should be relatively easy to equate the lift with the area being sintered, shouldn't it?
I am surprised you are not experiencing warping with that area of solid infill. I am still getting some warping in the front left corner of my build area and I try not to use that part until I find a solution to the uneven heating.
Edit: Just a thought - can you not tilt it at a very small angle, just enough so it does not print the whole surface at any time?Last edited by Mike Francies; 01-18-2017 at 04:49 AM.

Yes, you are completly right. You are able to see, that you will need more and more powder. As Sintratec told me i am able to see that sintered area is brighter than the not sintered area after a new prepared layer. As brighter you are able to see these areas as more energy was stored. In conclusion the powder ist not sintered anymore it is melting :-) For me that very good :-) But you will need more powder but it is more stable.
My warping zone is front right. This regeon is a little bit colder with my printer. I was playing with laser speed and surfage temperatur.
No that is no solution. When i am thinking about the kit i ask Sintratek about the max printing size. They told my that 11*11*11 might be possible. A lot of my parts i want to print are abotut this dimension. So i have first to fix this problem to go further on.
For me it is very importend to know what dimension i am able to print with no problems.
Please explain to me how to...
