Thread: Giant rook

    Giant rook

    So over time I think I'll be making an oversized set of chess pieces. Here is a timelapse of me printing the first one, a giant rook.

    This print came about after I made an in depth walkthrough of the creation workshop software that I use to prepare my prints. There aren't many videos like this on youtube so hopefully people find this helpful. Here is the link to the walkthrough video.

    I tried to be as informative as possible (hence the video length) but if I got anything wrong please leave a comment in the video so I can address it via annotations. Thanks guys, hope you enjoy the giant rook.

    how long did it take ?

    Info most of us want to know - so useful to just stick it on any timelapse video :-)

    And yep - great detail.

    One slightly misleading thing.
    Because an
    entire layer can be cured at once these printers tend to be very fast.
    You should add - 'however because of the really really thin layers sla machines use - this speed gain is rarely noticed as sla machiens print considerably more layers per model than fdm machines..'

    I made a change to the video description to include a bit about layer height effecting print speed. The printer settings I used are below.

    Bottom Layer Exposure: 24s
    Bottom layers: 15
    Normal Layer Exposure: 12s
    Layer height: 0.05mm
    Print time: ~15hrs.

    I also go through the whole model setup in this video:
