ROLLER

@KroninJ @joemansmoke oh and a set of files can be useful as well.

@parallax I can vouch for the Mars 3. To some extent it depends on what you are printing but 28mm miniatures are great.

@Piecemakers3Dprints @CaptainFlintlockFinn as a one time chemist I’d agree that there is a real possibility some trace materials in the resin causing some harm in prolonged contact. The resin may be set but could potentially leach some of the other materials such as unreacted ingredients, catalysts etc. In the same way that cheap jewellery can release alloying metals that cause irritation. A dermatologically safe varnish seems a sensible call.

@AlexanderTheGreat it’s old and cranky, but Meshmixer is still something I use.

Let’s you split and combine as well as align

@KroninJ I use something like theses. https://www.halfords.ie/motoring/tools/garage-equipment/garage-essentials/rolson-4-piece-pick-and-hook-set-340885.html
Useful for the small supports and difficult to reach ones.

@CarbonAlpine Amazing model. Did you publish anywhere? I’d like to print for a full size mock up horse I made.

@MissJinx I’ve had issues with some slicers not coping with vase mode.

Did you try changing the vase mode settings?

Some models don’t work so well on vase mode. Usually with steep overhangs.

You might try a different slicer?

@LazaroFilm glad I didn’t bother learning this then…

@CaptainFlintlockFinn are those resin support marks? If so you could try reorienting your model to reduce the number of supports needed. Possibly experimenting with the number, spacing and thickness may get better results. I’m no expert but have found it helps sometimes.

@bdonvr you’ve probably heard this before… But magnetic PEI build plate is the best adhesion I’ve had.
Used glass on my CR10S but it’s night and day vs PEI on the ender 3 S1 plus.
Keeping it clean is key but copious quantity of IPA and a very light sand has worked so far.
