Warped Print Model
- The printer's leveling is not properly calibrated, resulting in a situation where one side is higher than the other. This can lead to problems such as the workpiece falling on the material tray or warping at the higher position.
- The model is a solid model or is too thick. Generally, the thickness of the printed model is about 1-5MM. If it exceeds this thickness, it is necessary to perform a hollowing process to prevent the model from being too heavy, causing the model to fall or severely warp.
- The setting of the model printing time can also cause the model to warp or fall off. When the forming platform is properly adjusted, the first layer printing time should be as long as possible to ensure that the first layer of the model workpiece can firmly stick to the forming platform. Additionally, the number of exposure layers for the first layer should be appropriately increased.
- Check whether there is a gap between the bottom of the model and the platform shown in the software. If there is, please correct the model or add support to make the model more closely related to the platform.
- Adjust the printer's build platform with the following standard: 1) Clean the build platform to ensure no remaining materials, and the molding area should not have any print residual or hard materials to avoid damaging the print screen. 2) Remove the material tray first, loosen the four leveling screws of the build platform, do not remove the build platform, and the build platform needs to be securely tightened on the arm. 3) Prepare a piece of A4 paper cut to the size of the print screen and spread it on the top of the print screen. When the leveling platform drops to the print screen, the four sides of the build platform need to be completely attached to the A4 paper on the screen. 4) Hold the build platform with your left hand, and lock the finished platform diagonally with your right hand (for example, lock the left one screw first, then lock the right two, then lock the right one, and finally lock the left two). After locking the platform, reset it. 5) After zeroing, press the four sides of the build platform by hand, observe whether there are edges or rebounds. If there are, adjust the build platform again until the platform is completely attached.
- If the model itself is solid or too heavy, you can use third-party software to achieve the hollowing function. Then use the built-in software to slice and layout the print. This will greatly increase the yield and reduce the use of materials. Software includes (MAGICS, CHITUBOX64, etc.)
- The model's dropping and warping are closely related to the print time, especially the first layer print time. It is suggested to use a long exposure time to ensure the adhesion is tightly attached to the build platform. The suggested time (LD001 LD002 LD003) for the first layer is 70-90 seconds. The number of first layer print layers is 5-10 layers. Other exposure layers are 8-13 seconds (depending on the thickness of the model file for other layers of exposure, the thicker the time is less.)
