About heating system： What causes printing failure in a cold environment? In a cold environment, the resin's slow fluidity prevents it from returning to the center of the resin vat in time, leading to printing failure. Heating the resin is an effective method to improve fluidity and ensure successful printing. Should we maintain continuous resin heating? No, based on our experiments, printing failures are primarily related to the adhesion of the first layer to the platform. Successful adhesion of the first layer allows the printing screen (maintained at 40°C during printing) to provide adequate heat for subsequent layers. Continuous heating systems are unnecessary and may cause damage to the LCD and other electronic components.
One thing is not clear to me. In the video you can see that the heating operation is performed without the pan. But at minute 0:15" of the video the words "stirring" appear on the display, which I ( maybe wrongly ) interpret as "stirring the resin". The question is : should the heating be performed with the pan full of resin ( which will then be heated and made more fluid ) or without the pan ? In case the heating is done without a tray, can I place the resin container in the compartment to the right of the printer so that the resin becomes more fluid ? ( I do not use the "Auto-Feeding System)
It works, I printed a huge model (12 hour print, 229mm tall) and the temperature stayed at 30 deg. C the whole time, and the print came out AMAZING, 🙂
