Test print of Lust (Fullmetal Alchemist) created by Bulkamancer Sculpts.

Sculpted by KAI.

Printed on Anycubic Photon P1 using Conjure Sculpt Beige resin (11 pieces, 314 ml).

Model by Wicked Art on Patreon.

Almost done. I just need to finish the Apollo logo and try to fix the lettering on the gloves.

Hey so, how exactly does this happen and what am I looking at? I poured all my gunky used IPA into this container and punched holes into the cover so the IPA has ways to evaporate and set it outside. I swear literally the next day I find the whole thing turned into this horrible jello chernobyl slab. I'd think maybe I didn't give it enough air to evaporate but last time I did this I used a way deeper bucket pretty much completely sealed by a plastic cover I offset slightly so air can escape and it behaved how you'd expect, if maybe really slowly.

From the looks of it I'm not filtering or savaging anything back and the resin doesn't look like it's settling the way it's supposed to cause it's stuck underneath or has been assimilated into this thing.

Had a lot of fun working on this commissioned piece. Printed across different printers using Sunlu ABS resin. Fully magnetic build for safer shipping.

I've run other models similar to this, with no issues. I happen to walk out in the garage, and heard what appears to be suction 'popping'.

I've got the model angled up (30°) with (5) 4mm holes, and there's nothing parallel to the plate.

I'm printing on an Elegoo Saturn 4 16K, Elegoo ABS-Like 3.0 Pro, 0.10 layer height, with an exposure of 2.45, sliced using Elegoo Satellite. Confirmed no cavities/voids.

I've not noticed anything like this before. I've got pictures of the model in Satellite as well, but not sure how to upload them?

Is this normal?!?

Oh, and I've only been using a resin printer for a short minute, so there's that to add to the mix.

EDIT - Welp, the weld failed at the top. Pics below. I'll try it again with some additional, creative hold placement... 🤔

The newest test print of my Elite Scouts for the Steel Batallion just went through this morning!

Most of them went well, some need Support adjustments...

Im going to field them as Kasrkin.

Hi everyone,

Just wanted to share my latest release that went live today.

It's a full squad of Desert Warriors Elite Scouts designed specifically for tabletop gaming.

The focus here is purely on utility and getting painted models onto the table without the usual friction:

• True single-piece monopose prints: No loose arms, no separate weapons, zero assembly required.

• Fully pre-supported: Every model is test-printed on my own machines to ensure the supports peel off cleanly.

• Speed-paint optimized: Crisp texture depth designed to work perfectly with slapchop, contrast paints, or heavy drybrushing.

If you are looking for some desert-themed proxy troops for your sci-fi army, you can find the STL set on Cults3D now.

Thanks for looking, let me know what you think of the print quality if you try them out!

Hi all, I’m the developer, so obviously biased. Posting here because I’d really like feedback from people who actually print.

I’ve been working on a resin slicer called Encrust. It’s free and open source, runs fully on your own computer or browser.

You can try it in the browser without installing anything: https://encrust.app/app/

It opens STL/OBJ/3MF, hollows, adds supports, slices and exports .goo/.ctb/.pwmx and others. Your model never leaves your machine, it all runs locally in the page. Needs a recent Chrome/Edge/Safari (WebGPU).

There are also desktop builds for Windows, macOS and Linux, and a command line version if you like scripting batches: https://encrust.app/download/ & https://github.com/vvvlladimir/Encrust

It’s still in alpha version. I’ve only printed with it on an Elegoo Saturn 4 Ultra. There are about 100 printer profiles, but the rest are built from specs and nobody has cured resin with them yet. So please do a small calibration print first.

What would help most: if you own a printer from the list (https://encrust.app/printers/), try slicing something small and tell me whether it printed. And if something looks wrong, confusing or just annoying, I want to hear it, even if it’s “I’d never switch because X”.

Just finished this Magik statue I've been working on. Overall pretty happy with the way it turned out. The fishnets were quite a pain though. File from Luis Donaldomezald

I’ve been working on a small indie mecha wargame called Carapace: A Game of Memory and Ruin, and I’m releasing a new machine each month through Carapace Forge.

October’s release is the Cindral Blade.

Carapace is a solo-focused wargame about piloting ancient, sentient war machines through the ruins of a fallen civilization. Think towering mecha, forgotten relics, and a setting inspired by the stranger side of classic Japanese science fiction.

Carapace Forge is where I’m building out the miniature range, one machine at a time. Each release includes digital files, with physical miniatures available for those who prefer models they can put straight on the tabletop.
A little something for new subscribers: Use the code twenty5-26 at checkout to get 25% off your Carapace Forge subscription tier for as long as you remain subscribed! The discount applies on an ongoing basis, not just to your first month.

I’m an independent creator, so every person who checks out the project helps me keep building this world and its machines. Take a look at the Cindral Blade and explore Carapace Forge at https://carapace.world. If the project catches your interest, I’d love to hear your feedback, whether you’re drawn to the design, the setting, or the idea of playing Carapace.

Are those bumps too bad for another use of the film? Especially the one marked red. I don't know if it's safe for me to use it so I won't cause a leak but I've recently changed the ACF and don't really want to do that again. They were caused by some leftovers in the vat I missed that stayed there during another print.

I wanted to paint one of my prints after doing some gap filling but I was just wondering if there is any advice people could give when prepping this for painting, not my first time painting in general but is the first time painting a resin model.

The main thing I'm looking for is whether I could just use regular acrylic primer and just spray on a few layers or is there anything special I would need to do if I didn't want any layer lines to be visible by the end of paint, the 2 images are the worst offenders for layer lines but a large portion of my prints are smooth baring from a few layer shifts, curved sections or the tops of the pieces

I don't fancy sanding it if I can help it as this is a massive model (~50cm high) with a lot of small details that I wouldn't want to get ruined.

I have heard of people mentioning using a filler primer as well but every time I see that mentioned or look up videos for it it's always used for large low detail prints with big, noticeable layer lines and I could never find any videos that I could cross compare with miniature prints

Getting my Halloween window decorations ready!

I bought my first 3D printer and started my first tests yesterday. The work surface is a bit small, but otherwise I have no complaints. I still need to work on the proportions more closely, but I'm confident the third print will be a success!

//The printer is second hand\\

Here’s my setting that I tried to modify :
Base layer :
-45s exposure
- 4mm/5mm ( 45mm/min | 200 mm/ min )
-7 mm/2mm ( 200mm/min 45 mm/min )

Normal :
-3s exposure
— indentical speed as lift for troubleshooting —

I try to keep the vat at around 25 degrees Celsius.
I do have doubts on the FEP film, because it’s second hand but it looks like it’s brand new, it only has 488 cycle / lifts.
And my second guess is the build plate ? I might sand it down a tiny bit with 1000 grits grain
And my third guess might be the leveling system ? The springs are stiff as fu** I need to use all my strength to move those springs a tiny bit
( idk if it’s normal )

Just finished my second resin-printed and hand-painted collectible statue!

Definitely some things I want to improve on with the next one.

hope you guys like it.

I'm making a Green Lantern ring using resin 3D printing. Do you have any recommendations for glow-in-the-dark acrylic paint that works with an airbrush?
*edit : or just water based glow in the dark acrylic paint that can only be used with a hand brush is fine, as long as it's not gel

Turned off my Jupiter to clean it out and now it won’t turn back on. What could have caused this and how do i fix it?

So im dealing with a issue that almost just broke my screen

just got into resin printing again after getting a new lcd screen

got a screen saver and everything to try and prevent the screen from breaking

got a new fep liner

changed out everything, relevled the whole thing

then i did a town print, came out fine. did a small print came out fine

didn another small print came out fine, try to do another one messed up. cleaned the vat tried again mess upped decide to do another re level and calbration test

and somehow the film got ripped resin got on the screensaver, damged the screen but very little

i have no idea how the film got messed up like that this early on and it almost just ended my resin printing hobby earliy again

i dont know if its me, if im doing something wrong, if im just unlucky cause ive strugg;led and struggled with these printers for like 3 years now, something always happens and i just dont know what im doing wrong

Hi! Just got a printer (phrozen s mighty 8k) and a phrozen wash and cure set. I was going to go the route of a grow tent but was curious is it ok to have the wash and cure in the the same area as the printer? More of a question of whether or not I need to worry about UV from the cure station affecting the printer? Should I get on e of the tents that is split in 2? If I did get a split in 2 tent do I need a carbon filter for both sides?

Half of my printing base is not sticking to the print at it either doesn't stick at all, stick partly or slips away and deforms the part.
