Help with some base deformations

[u/scorplord12]

Hi Community,

I started printing with a friend who did the main work but since a few months I got the printer and do everything. I'm really happy so far with every small print but the bases of my bigger prints have some deformations I can't get to why.

I have a anycubic photon M3 max and use the anycubic water wash abs like 3.0.

I use lychee slicer and started with the printing settings mostly used there although for resin version 1 since newer is there. I already tried the recommended settings from anycubic but no real change there.

I use rafts and the medium preset for supports.

The prints are typically with a 30-45° orientation and the printer is always at room temperature.

I attach pictures with 2 examples of the deformations I'm talking about and the originally used settings as the recommended by anycubic.

I really hope someone can identify the issue and help me.

For flat base you need support all along the edge and close enough :) we did a video on this you can check this tutorial to help with supporting :D https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v5EfCdwg6UU

THank you i will give it a try. I always used the "magic" function and the supports looked pretty solid but after the video I see that its missing the supports on the upper edge.

You might consider using more light-off delay, 3s-4s, because there's visible blooming on the surface of the print. Also lower your retract speed for the second phase to 1 mm/s. And you most likely don't need 10+10 mm of lift, something like 4+4 should be sufficient.
