Nice print! I stopped using auto-generated supports early on, figured out a few things about the "geometric" models I was printing....
That's a great job on the firebox! Yeah, the printer takes a lot of the sting out of a dwindling parts supply... CAD is a hurdle, but when one...
inches x 25.4 = millimeters. That number is burned in my brain, I model in inches and my printer prints in millimeters. I've got a lot of...
By "offgasssing", I'm referring to the tendency of the resin to release VOC gasses, whether they can be smelled or not. Most resin gas compounds...
Before I got the extra vats, I made a janky vat cover from a piece of Masonite and self-adhesive window caulk strip. Still have it, covering the...
Accessories I've found useful: Lunch trays. Useful for moving wet stuff around, and doing work in. Silicone spatula. Stirring resin in the vat...

I bought a separate build plate, but it's still in the box, thought I'd try one of those magnetic flex-plates but I've not had a problem removing...
I decided early on two things: 1) not doing this for income, so not worrying IP too much, and 2) I want to give back a bit from what I find...
I keep my resin in the vat, only pour it back in the bottle when I need to filter out piece-parts from a failed print. I bought two extra vats,...
You can also use such an exhaust for an airbrush booth. I've seen a few such setups described elsewhere, and I'm about to build an airbrush booth...
Worse than that, it's gone. The picture was taken in 1975; sometime after that it was removed.
Breaux Bridge, LA SP depot, March 1975: [ATTACH] I took this picture using my then-new Nikon F2; dredged it up recently to attempt a model of...
I may roll back for other reasons. The 1.9 series was just cleaner, IMHO; the 2.0 interface just doesn't run as smoothly on my dinky little...
Oww, Chitubox 2.0 is what I installed last night. Was using 1.9.3 (on the jump drive that came with the printer), got a support placement problem...
Hmmm, got me worried now, I just updated my Windows copy of Chitubox... When you get the 8K printer (jealous, now... :LOL:), we can start anew...
Yeah, that ain't right. There is a mode for the whole screen to light up like that, used for cleaning the vat. It is probably stuck in that...
Getting toward end-days on the static model of #168: [ATTACH] The tender is just stacked for the picture, need to find screws for the trucks...
Yeah, if you have a macro lens for your camera, hide or sell it. :LOL:
Somehow, back when we bought our Nikon D50 in 2006, I decided to set its clock to UTC. Probably a holdover from my Air Force days, but it seemed...
