I have been using your settings with my saturn and saturn 3 with great results. Thank you!
I just got a Saturn as well, going to try these settings out. Thanks for the comment.
what lift speed do you use? exactly same as in the video?
Good to know. I just got a Saturn 3 and have been testing before I found this video. I'm excited to try now after setting up my settings to match this video.
@@zebmaxwell7979 any updates? Id like to knwo if they worked for your Saturn as Im using the same printer
@@Q8Despair genuine question, why would he use anything else except whats on the video? you're just muddying the waters asking questions like this for no reason if theres no reason why you would think he would be using a different speed. stop doing that on hobbies like this
I've spent weeks watching videos trying to learn everything possible about 3d printing and this is the first time I get a comprehensible guide for a total newcomer (I have not even bought the printer, still have to decide which one!)... Thank you so much for such an easy guide to begin with!! thank you so so much!!
Same with me. I’m watching everything. But I did decide on a cheap low end 2k printer just to see if I enjoy the “life” of 3d printing. If I do, I’ll buy a better, bigger printer.
just tested these settings on my saturn 2 (calibration cones and the xp2 matrix with standard 8k resin) and both came out completely flawless. I actually did a double take looking at my calibration matrix because it looked exactly like the 'perfect' img example. I thought my usual universal settings were fine, but I'm just totally shocked!! You just helped me break put of a near 6 month rut. Thank you so much dude. fantastic video.
Also I saw in the comments people were asking about flex plate settings. I've been printing with flex plates for nearly 2 years now and I think 5 bottom layers at 50 is fine for practically all resins, abs and water washable. also make sure you lightly score your flex plate if you're still having adhesion issues, just the lightest even little sand across the plate will do. light but enough to get that 'criss cross' texture on the metal a teeny bit
That's great to hear! Thank you 😊
I used these settings on my Anycubic Mono and the print is incredible. I had a few bad prints on a particular part. These settings fixed the problem
That's awesome 👌
Revelation. With your settings, everything printed without defects - 100% success. Thank you! (printer Anycubic M5s 12k)
That's great to hear!
I use a Saturn 3 ultra and This gave me the best results with fine crisp detail. Using Sunlu abs-like dark grey. Thank you sir!!!
Thank you so much for all your videos it helped me get through some hard obstacles and heart aches plus the stress I felt like I wanted to throw in the towel but kept on pushing like you said in one of your videos. Once again thank you
And thank you for watching. Keep it up!
I was just about to throw in the towel getting my mono x to print and I stumbled on your resin settings, now Ive been able to print consistently, its also convinced me to switch to Chitabox permanently when doing my 3d prints.Genuinely saved my bacon with your advice, many thanks and I'm subscribing.
Dude that's awesome! Thats why I do this channel...to help others. Thanks for the sub!
I'm new to resin printing and I've been jumping from video to video and your settings were the ones that worked best for my printer! thank you!
That's awesome!
big thumbs up love my GK2
Thanks for the video! Just picked up a Mono X 6k. I already have a Mono 4k, and I love it. Giving your settings a shot for the 6k a shot, right out of the box. Wish me luck.
How did it go? Any experience with Sunlu abs like water washable resin on that printer as well? :)
Thx m8....you saved my sanity....i've been using your settings on my elegoo Saturn ultra...using water washable resin...and it works just great...thx again....love your vids👍🏻😁
Thank you! I only have a nova 3D Elfin mono and only use water washable resin. Tried your settings with no hassles and no failed prints at all...
Thank you so much! I just got my Elegoo Saturn 3 Ultra and these settings worked perfectly for me. My first failed attempt made a flat print stuck to the resin tank lol
I like to give my files a final once over before I add supports and add a .05 hole in any spots that I think may cause suction. I dont know if it actually makes any difference but I feel like I have less pieces pulling away from the supports in spots and less wear on my FEP since I started doing it.
Great video! Can't wait for the Wolverine model! I really, really appreciate the setting advice. I am tired of guessing! Thanks, man!
Can you talk about environmental effects on printing? What temprature and humidity do you print in? Do you have any winter/summer settings?
Keeping a consistent temperature is a big deal. I print in a room with good air flow and around 70 degrees Fahrenheit and with low humidity. I use an extraction fan and an air purifier.
Yep the environment does factor, I found anything below 14c here in the UK just creates fails.
Great video! I will definetly give it a try when i am home. I have been exhausted with failed prints of RPG Dice, especially D6 with my Saturn 3 12K and Standart Grey Resin. Hope these settings will work 🤞
Thanks for the video, man!! Helps alot!!
You bet!
Thank you I’m going to try this out. I’ve got a new mars 4 ultra I’m setting up. I’ve only done injection molding and FDM.
Thank you so much for this !! Love your page!! Imma defo try this on my Mars 3pro ultra!! Been struggling so bad with printer settings ! They wouldn’t catch details! Will let you know my results when I print next few days!! 🔥🔥🔥
Sounds awesome 👌
Thank you for sharing your settings.
Any time
(Checks youtube videos for settings.)
(Some chill American dude with a chill accent.)
(Problem solved)
I had to change the numbers in the column to the right that default to 0. When I left them zero it made a 4 hour print take 30 hours. After changing them the estimated time was more accurate
Other than that these settings were really helpful. Thanks
OMG thank you! I've been struggling to get good prints, and with these settings... well, I have 2 of 3 plates done on Wick3d's Throg, and they look amazing, so far. Still draining, so not sure how the supports will come off, but I have high hopes!
Soak the print in hot water for a couple minutes..the supports will become soft and pop right off .I've been using the Anycubic water based high speed resin and had no issues with it my prints have turned out amazing!
I been using lychee but I want give this a try and see if there anything different from those setting and your set up . I like to see if things could be better , I had no real issue beside human errors .But feel things could be better .Edit ,Done 4 cones test and Just keep failing on me , Keep getting cones on fail side -either 2 print in middle or far right side I get one semi full cone and 2 little bitty ones .I thought I could get it but think stick with my other setting since it does work . Thanks for all tips you give ! You and many other youtube printers been a major help to us all .
oh my god, dude, i've been searching for days on how to get my printer back to reliably making prints since getting first creality and then sunlu's water wash after elegoo's relatively simple and risk free resin. look, i don't even care if this works for water wash, i'm just relieved to see a video explaining this in chitubox from start to finish. it's ridiculous how hard it is to find ANY info on what i should be doing. i thought there'd be somewhere to read guidelines but nope. i'm just concerned that the basic version in 2.3 doesn't let me change the density of the auto supports. i'm hoping to turn me printing and my partner's painting into a business, so if the pro version is worth it, i might get it.
will update on if the print is successful.
Great Video. Do you think these settings would work with an Elegoo Jupiter? You said you would change some things for the larger printers. Thoughts?
I use the same settings on my Phrozen Sonic Mega 8K. You might need to adjust the bottom exposure times though
I know this video is a year old, but I am doing a Gambit statue. While following your video I set the hollow with the grid 3d. I did use the slide bar to see if any supports were being generated in the model and there were. My version of chitubox looks newer than the version you are using in this video. So is there a setting I am missing? or do I just go in and remove the unwanted supports?
From what I hear the newer versions of Chitubox puts supports in there so you can remove them if you want. I use version 1.9.5.
Great video, thanks for sharing
I got some of the Nova3D 8K grey resin and am seeing an uncomfortably large delta between suggested settings. I am going to try your settings as a starting point and see what results I get on Saturn 3 12K Ultra. Thank you for your suggestions!
Cones of calibration came out what I expect to be pretty much success, failure side a steadily decreasing percent failure. I could tweak it more I'm sure, but I have a feeling I can print with success at these settings. Thank you, man.
Thanks 🙏🏻 bro 🇲🇽
Thanks for your settings they worked really well for me, what resin do you recommend, I’m getting small areas that are coming off build plate but not enough to affect print. I’m thinking it might be the cheaper resin I’m using.
Right now Im using resin from Resione and Sunlu standard. Both are inexpensive and work great.
Thanks I’ll have to try them.
Evening Brother, loving your content. You completely simplify and take the guess work out of 3D printing. Maybe you can help me or point me in the right direction, I also have a GKTwo and have been messing with Siraya Tech Navy Grey. Ive been printing more miniature with more detail and parts and curious have you used it with these setting? what have been your results?
Thanks! Yes I've used these settings for minis as well. There maybe times where you need to adjust the exposure time. Sometimes minis can get overexposed because of the small details.
@@TheCreativeCollector Good advice. Much appreciated.
BTW, wanted to Thank you, plugged your setting in using the Uniformation GKTwo, using Siraya Tech Navy Grey and the results were amazing. Saved me so much frustration.
amaizing mate!
Thanks!
Hello friend, so I was wondering if you still use these settings after a year. I just got a PC that can install Chitubox and I’m stuck on precision. Doesn’t go up to 50. Thanks
Yes I do!
Thanks a lot
Have you gotten the new CHITUBOX Basic V2.1? Doesn't seem that much different but different enough.
No not yet
great stuff thank you a lot ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉
What is the UV power setting for your Mono X? Great video!
It's set at 70%
I got the anycubic m5s with high speed resin im try theses settings and see what happens.
That is awesome information, I haven’t used chitubox let I’m working on my first print with my Saturn 2 and suggestions with lychee setting?
Hey Henry! You mentioned that you check for islands or pockets. What do you do if you do have pockets? What is the best way to avoid having an srea with trapped resin? Some models are making me nervous like venoms claws from wicked as an example
Chitubox has a repair option but most of the time if I see them in the animation process, I just put drain holes all in the pockets while in the animation process. That way it has ample drainage from those pockets.
Do you find that the 5% infill provides enough support for overhangs? For example, the helmet print in the video there is going to be a significant overhang at the top underside of the wolverine head.
Yes it works for me.
your youtube is great Thanks for sharing What do you suggest for Elegoo Saturn ultra 10" build
How do you mitigate islands? Is there a fast way to add supports to layers that have islands?
The fast way for me was to add drain holes from the inside out to prevent resin pockets.
Thanks for all your videos! I just don't understand why you suppress the supports under the teeth... doesn't it let islands?
Sometimes but in this situation because of the angle it didn't
On chitubox pro, I can't find the printer settings ANYWHERE
That's why I don't use Chitubox pro. I use the free version
Any idea if these will work on a halot mage pro?
Yes it should
Muchas gracias por compartir el vídeo. Veré que ocurre en mi Creality Halo one.
are these settings the same for your anycubic m3 max? im asking because i have an anycubic mc premium which are bigger printers and in the video you didnt go down to your m3 max settings
Yes they are. Depending on the resin you use you might have to adjust your exposure settings
@@TheCreativeCollector I use sariya tech fast have you use these settings with that resin before?
while Saturn-S uses a 3s exposure, that would be pretty over on my Saturn-2 that uses 2.1s with the same resin, Siraya Tech Fast Gray
If that's working for you then keep it up! No need to change anything. 👍
What slicing program do you use for your resume printers
Chitubox
I am using a Different slicing program because I tried using the one you're using and the files are Not printing they're not even showing up on the machine
Hi, first of all great video it helped me a lot geting better resoults on my prints.
I also have a problem with the conections, like they never fit and I always have to sand it our make my own conection with the conection hole with like 0.1 mm biger than the other conector.
Do you have any advacy for that, our an easyer way to do it?
That could be due to the keys from the model not shrunk down properly plus resin expands and contracts. I have the same problem sometimes
@@TheCreativeCollector is there a way to control it better ?
I'm having trouble printing big pieces on the Saturn 2. Sometimes they fall, sometimes they just stop midprinting... Any tips for big, heavy, complex prints?
A lot has to do with orientation on the build plate. If you're not placing them right, they'll fail no matter how many supports you have.
Thanks for this video - it helps a lot. Question please: is it possible to mix 2 different resins - for example: Can I mix ‘High Toughness’ resin with ‘Standard’ resin? Thanks
Pretty sure you can but you might be better off not doing that for those resins. There's different compositions between the two so they might not bond well.
Man your awesome 👌
Thanks!
Welcome!
I understand most of what you are doing, but you got me on the removal of the supports on the teeth. Would the teeth now be considered island and not printed properly or am I just wrong. Also, I have started printing large and I am finding the keys are not fitting. Is this the file or am I curing too long?
The teeth printed fine on this one but I do suggest in using supports on something like this. The problem with bigger prints and keys not fitting is just from the expansion and shrinkage of the resin. It's a common thing. I just sand down the keys a bit and usually that helps.
so these settings work on the mono x to
Yes
Gonna try these settings on my Saturn 8K tomorrow, will update afterwards although I'm using it for minis so may need to tweak the Layer height but we shall see :) *Update 86% print done, nothing has failed on the build plate the original time was 4.30 hours, with these settings its drastically dropped to 2.30 hours saving me 2 hours* so far really impressed.
Big fan of this channel. Thank you. I just got my printer and I'm coming from FDM printing. May I ask why are you not using 0.03 for all your prints? Doesn't lower layer height = better quality?
I tried that and I really didnt notice a difference.
@@TheCreativeCollector Thanks! I have spent the last hours with all the settings you have set here (I'm also using the GK2) and I'm using elegoo water washable resin. I did not get good results with 3 sec exposure on the validation matrix (I'm only starting to see good results at around 2, 1.7 secs...)
@@idosofidid you find the settings for elegoo ww resin
Thanks
I have an Elegoo 3 Pro 4K printer, I haven't started using it yet, can these settings be good for it and result in incredible results like yours or is it a test and risk game? Congrats for the Channel! Thanks!
Yes, absolutely
How do you deal with all the toxic gases of indoor resin printing? That’s the main reason I don’t use my resin printer that much
I use an extraction fan and some air purifiers. I'm actually working on an enclosure system that's carbon filtered.
Great video! Can I ask what's your light off delay setting?
It's set at zero.
I have a Saturn 3 and I only use water-washable Sunlu resin, can I also use these settings with this type of resin???
Yes.
First off, thanks a lot for sharing your knowledge. I tried your settings and prints came up perfect, however they did came up on the brittle side, keys and holes did not fit and I had to sand down and while testing the fit the connection broke from friction while pulling out, I did not put that much force on the pieces, any advice? I'm using Sunlu standard resin on an Anycubic photon mono 4k at 1.5mm wall thickness
I guess I'd look into how long you're curing your pieces for and I'm not sure what model you're doing. Some shrinkage is normal and yes every now and then I run across some pieces not fitting perfectly. I've been using the same resin and don't have those issues.
@@TheCreativeCollector I've been curing them about 10 to 20 minutes on a cure station, maybe I'm curing for too long making them brittle? I will try printing at higher thickness and curing for less time
I've never zeroed out TSMC like this before, does it just override it and and use a single speed for lift and retract then yeah?
Yes it uses a single speed.
Have you found a good clear resin?..sunlu had a Yellow tint.
I've never had an issue with Sunlu, but Voxelab has the best I've used so far.
Always informative videos! Got a question unrelated to this video if that’s ok, I finished painting a head sculpt and wanted to ask should I use gloss varnish for eyes before or after the Matt varnish? ( also how long can I wait before sealing the paint with varnish can it go for like 3 weeks? )
Definitely after the matte. Gloss on the eyes are the last thing I do.
@@TheCreativeCollector thank you!
I have an Elegoo Mars 3 Pro and I'm going to start printing soon. If I use Anycubic resin, does this configuration work?
It should still work ok.
can i put this settings on lychee too?
I'm not sure. You can try and see
Thank you for this! Your videos have convinced me to jump into resin printing. Regarding Chitubox, do you use the Pro version? If so, is Pro required or can you achieve the same results using the basic version?
Thanks. I use the free version. I don't really see why I would need to use the pro version.
@@TheCreativeCollector perfect, thank you. I didn't know if all the settings you've shared, hollowing methods, etc., were available in the free version or not. I appreciate it!
How do these settings work with Minatures compared to busts/ statues you normally print?
They work really good. It gets a lot of those details without over exposing it
i might have to try these. Have you used clear resin before?@@TheCreativeCollector
Im not sure where to turn, and if this is not the right place, I apologize. I am new to printing, but every other part of this model has printed but 1 and it keeps failing every time. Wicked Galactus (full statue) is the model, I have a Elegoo Saturn 2, I use Citubox pro for creating the file for my printer. the part is the last one I need. The little flaps on the front and back on his lower body. When I print, it prints the supports, but the item is missing and there is a layer of resin cured to my FEP. Is there a better place to ask the question?
So it's possible you may not being using enough supports or it could be the orientation. If you look me up on Instagram or Facebook and send a pic or two I can try and help you out. Follow the links on my home page.
Thanks a lot for awesome videos 🌷 can I use this settings for anycubic photon m3 max?
Yes you can!
hello, i give myself a saturn 3 but i just cant eaven print the demo prints, it just print couple of layers in the base and a couple in the upper plate, any help??
Nest thing yo do is check out some of the printer groups on Facebook. It's difficult to troubleshoot through here.
What temp do you have your default resin set to for the GKtwo?
Basically factory settings at 26C
I have a voxelab proxima 6 gray I'm using 8 and 40 and I've got good prints but flash forge beige I get nothing do you have any suggestions
I've never used that brand so I'm not sure
I was thinking of getting a photon m3 premium for 8k. But seeing what you have accomplished with photon mono x, actually I am confused. Should I settle for a mono x and save some money or just go for the m3 premium?
It's all up to you. I've been lucky with the Mono X but I think the M3 might have a bigger volume. Just do your research.
Pretty sure the Wolverine model will have islands where the supports were removed
Islands from where the supports were? From the teeth? Nope. Didn't have that problem.
I think the same thing
Hey do you still use the 5% infil to this day?
Yep. Sure do!
@@TheCreativeCollector thanks :)
Any update about water wash resin with these settings?
I'm using these settings with the Water Fairy washable resin from Resione. I've used them with Sunlu WW as well.
Do you think with anycubic m5 will work? Thank a lot however, this is very helpful ❤️
I just used these settings with Anycubic water-wash resin, clear and hd gray. Settings works fantastic with my Mono M5, but with 35 seconds for bottom exposure it’s a bit tricky to get off the print 😅. I think i’ll go to 28 and i see what i get, or you have any other tips to take of the bases from the plate?
for the mono x do u use 8 for bottem lift distance and 8 for lifting distance or do i only change bottem lift distance to 8 and leave lifting distance at 5
Just like I posted in the video
@@TheCreativeCollector the mono x is large ?
Hiya dude, it's been a month or so since I last messaged. Firstly happy new year to you and your family!
I had to step away from printing momentarily as I was just too damn busy. In the meantime though I did buy 2 new additions, a anycubic m3 max and a uniformation gktwo. Have you been using these setting on your gktwo? Also I was wondering what layer height you'd recommend? Believe it or not Its something I've never actually messed with.
either 50 microns or 30 not worth going lower than that also do a test print of both to compare to see if you really need the 30 microns (it takes more times so it might not be worth it)
Would these settings be beneficial for all printers like if I have a saturn 2 ? Also seen you said you don't use anti Alasaing would it be something you'd turn off for the 8k resin ? I've seen to use it but idk why or why not.
These should work on the Saturn but I have not tested it on it. I turn of anti aliasing because I don't feel I need it.
@The Creative Collector ill have to try em out
I dont understand why people ask about settings I know it helps to get close I did the same thing when I started but now after a year of doing this everything changes settings from balance to tempature now with that I only have changed my layer exposure time everything else is default
You are correct, however a lot of people don't know where to start. They get frustrated and just quit. Hopefully by making this video, it'll give some people a starting point and they can go from there.
@@TheCreativeCollector 👍
I've been printing at 180 Lifting Speed, 210 bottom retract and 210 retract speed just fine, should I slow it down?
If its working for you then don't change it.
Exposure time will depend on resin, correct?
It's a factor yes
@@TheCreativeCollectorFair enough. Haha. I was getting very over exposed prints with anything over 2.0 seconds on the Uniformation GKtwo with Sirayatech Build.
Can this be applied to water washable resins for all brands?
Yes
I got an Anycubic photon m3 max
Im trying to print a head but its been 3 times were the head comes out like with an oval shape can someone help me out?
I wouldn't know where to start without knowing your settings and stuff. Go to my Facebook group and I can help you out there
The lift and retraction speed is that low? Is anyone else using that slow of a speed? I see decreasing can reduce pull of the FEP film. This just seems very low at around 1.3mm/s and a increase to print time. Just curious on how you got to that number.
This has just been the best setting for me. I've tried faster settings and some did ok, but after the fep has been used for a while, I noticed the supports started pulling away from the build plate on the initial layers. That's why I pulled back a bit.
I'd rather it take longer and produce good prints than deal with fail after fail. I let myself fall into the "vroom" rabbit hole and it almost ruined resin printing for me.
Exactly! This is why people have so many fails and their prints turn out bad. Quality first. Who cares if its fast or not. This isn't a race.
Someone used this settings for Halot Mage 8K ? Thanks.
I haven't tried to but it's worth a shot.
Any one got any settings for Saturn 2 just got in to 3d printing so I'm kinda dumb to all this thing's lol
These should work on a Saturn
Did you use anti aliasing ?
Yes. .2
Man, I just had a failure with my USB thumb drive. Now I have to turn a scramble. How to redo a whole new thumb? Drive with all the settings and files.
3 seconds is too much for me, with that amount of time i blow up all the details. Usually i use between 1.5s to 2.5s
Hey if whatever you're doing is working then keep it up!
How can i give two likes? 😅
LIFE SAVER! I've had ZERO fails using these setting of the last week. Thanks man!
