I did another print last night and it was another failed print.... but now I know why!!
The resin has gone bad.
As a test, I took my entire print container and shone UV (9Watts) directly in it about 6 inches above the resin.
after about 20 seconds, a thin slime started to form... and that's it. I zapped it several more times but it would not cure anymore.
To remedy this problem I have a bottle of Fun To DO Snow White on its way with overnight shipping !!!
Why the rush? My usual schedule has changed for tomorrow and I will have lots of time to do prints but I need resin to do prints. Tuesday may be the only day I get to use the printer this week so I wanted to be sure I got it on time.
On the plus side:
-the model printed at the correct size
-the rafting printed as it should but I will make the rafting much taller next time.
Before I did my print, I redid all of the printer calibration as well. I think that took care of some of the oddities in print size.
Come on FedEX!! Don't fail me now !!
