well it looks like i lost the previous post i did a few days ago . i cant post anything from my computer due to approval from moderator. so ill just rewrite it.
the sweating was residue from the resin . it was greasy to the touch. it was attacking the acrylic . i have the printer in the basement so its cooler that the third floor where i have the airconditioner on. first off i noticed black spots on the lcd . i emailed kudo about this . i thought it was dead pixels . i turned it off line for a day due to a failed print i had . so the spot had disapeared . i think it was heat due to me not turning the machine off for 16 days .
another noob thing i did was not tightening all the bolts and screws on my printer when i unpacked it. i thought the play i had on the z axis was normal . couldnt figure out why my prints were skewed . took the whole z axis apart tightened the guide rollers and any visable bolt and screw. now its rock solid . i even flipped the anti wobble screw upside down to get a better lock on it . i did lube up the lead screw with some lithuim grease.
as for Slacer . i decided to use nanodlp . worked perfectly . 6000+ slices at 16microns. i did have to batch rename the files. unzip rename and rezip.
yes this is my first printer ever . i really wanted a form1 or now form2 but its over priced . saw this on kickstarter and thought .... reputable company not a bad price . why not. im planning to build myself a cnc machine and fdm printer. everything is open sourced so it should be simple enough . i did a test build with dvd parts and an audrino . works well .
yes i have done a lot of reading and research. i really wanted an sla printer . dlp??? damn too late . but surprisingly its awsome . its fast .
i broke my vat the other day . took my soldering iron too it and its good as new. never thought it would work . i had nothing to loose . also i have two more.
atm im in comunications with kudo trouble shooting a few issues . fun fun .
