3D printing settings
To print a Hogwarts candlestick with Slytherin details using SLA and considering that it is divided into three parts, with the central part being the most detailed, here is a guide:
File Preparation:
Orientation: place the center part at an optimal angle to capture all details without requiring excessive supports. Less detailed parts can have a more direct orientation that promotes fast and efficient printing.
Supports: For the center part, add supports needed for overhangs and more intricate details. Supports should be sturdy enough to hold the part but also thin enough for easy removal later.
Print Configurations:
Layer Resolution: Use 25-50 microns for the central part in order to capture all the fine details. For the other less detailed parts, you could opt for a slightly higher layer resolution to reduce printing time.
Exposure: Adjust the exposure time according to the manufacturer's instructions for the resin you are using. The center part may require a slightly longer exposure time due to its complexity.
Post-Processing:
Cleaning: clean each piece meticulously with isopropyl alcohol to remove any uncured resin, paying special attention to the nooks and crannies and details of the central part.
UV Curing: Cure the parts with UV light. Curing time may need to be adjusted to ensure that parts with more detail are fully cured without losing definition.
Additional Considerations:
Wait Time: After printing, allow parts to drain and dry before proceeding with cleanup to ensure that no uncured resin remains in the detailed areas.
Safety: Always wear personal protective equipment such as gloves and safety glasses when handling resins and alcohols.
Remember to do test prints to make sure the settings are correct for your specific machine and the type of resin you are using. These settings may need to be refined to achieve the desired print quality, especially on parts with more detail.
