Update: TL;DR: I cleaned the z-axis, replaced the nofep, installed the latest Chitubox (2.1) and cleaned up my profile to get it working
Hello, I hope someone will see this and be able to at least point me in the tight direction. As at this point I’m becoming desperate.
My Epax E10 4k is acting up, and I do not know why.
Part of the print is fine (see images) and then other parts are just stopped at a certain layer, with the rest stuck to the noFep.
I tried different prints, to make sure it wasn’t a layering problem, but alas… each single print suffered from the issue. The larger prints would ‘hang’ over non-printed layers…
I recalibrated my printer, changed the fep…
The one difference from before is the resin. I used to buy epax hard and tough, but my regular resin dealer doesn’t sell them anymore, heck it seems it is no longer available in europe. So I switched to the next best thing on the Epax compatibility list: eSun hard and tough.
Anybody have any clever idea?
Thank you for your reply! I hadn’t thought of the mechanics!
I’ll check the screw and clean it.
Just isolate the problem, is the rule of thumb. If you can replicate the issue reliably, it's fixable. At worst, it limits the number of variables you are working with, which is still awesome in its own way.
My only other thought would be a bizarre stepper motor skip, which would lead me to start checking wiring and such.
