I decided to also switch resins. I had been using abs like resin vs regular, both Elegoo brand. I bought the abs without looking at the title closely. I only had a little bit left in the bottle but figured eh, might as well give the regular a try. Heck it worked when I switched from trans green to grey! Will print out a 2nd mephit when I get home. Strikethrough to say "whenever I felt like it...." Mephit mini came out great!! Saves me some bucks buying either a prepainted one (spendy) or anther prepainted mephit & repainting (hassle) or getting just one Reaper mini (Blood imp pack of 3) in the mail. If I'm gonna order Reaper minis, it's gotta be more then 1 or 2!! Just going to let it set for a bit before slapping some white primer on it (ice mephit) 2 in a row! I'm on a streak! 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Worked, too, I finally got Blender to do what I wanted it to do when joining two parts. I may have left a snap to grid on, so the two parts kept not meeting where I wanted them to go together . You know better than I do - I didn't even know Blender has a Snap to Grid function. Sure enough, it does! The Auld Grump 2 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TaleSpinner 48153 Report post Posted October 29, 2020 My printer is pissing me off. I got a hole in the FEP, so I changed it. Now all of the prints are sticking hard to one corner of the FEP and are pulling off of the supports during printing. I think i got the FEP too tight with not much pay for loosening it. I hate changing the FEP! I have one more left in stock, so I will have to change it out again tonight. 1 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TaleSpinner 48153 Report post Posted October 29, 2020 Hey, I just noticed as I bought more FEP film that IPA is available on Amazon again. I just ordered a gallon! 2 1 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gadgetman! 19839 Report post Posted October 29, 2020 Swap to using laminating pouches instead? There was a link to a YT video a while ago about how to use them. Have you cleaned the problematic corner of the FEP film? 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cygnwulf 6127 Report post Posted October 29, 2020 I'm trying out the epax non-fep film, so far it hasn't gone well. stuff seems to be ripping off the supports worse than it was with the traditional fep. Then again, I was in the habit of using ptfe spray on my regular fep and I omitted it for this because I thought it might interfere with the oxygen permeability of the nfep 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Clearman 11590 Report post Posted October 29, 2020 (edited) Christmas may come early this year. I've been planning to upgrade my Epax to the new 2k mono screen. This upgrade also requires a new main board and light array. I've been holding off on the large purchase until my current screen failed, and I wasn't sure when the pocketbook would allow it or whether Epax would have even newer technology available. Well, my current develop a gaping dead spot yesterday, and I think the stars are aligning so I can make this purchase tomorrow.

haldir 42567 Report post Posted October 31, 2020 I thought I had enough giant owl prepainted minis (the celestial owl) but some reason, I've misplaced 2 of the 4 I have so I found a simple but effective miniature for it. Printed it this afternoon & came out great! I'm in the process of printing anther one. There is a flying base included but I didn't feel like printing it for 4 hrs. I'll just use Reaper's flight base for them. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yah & it's very spendy for what it is on aftermarkets. The file I printed out was from here: https://www.youmagine.com/designs/giant-owl The design was simple but it works.
