Chitubox is a much more sophisticated slicer than Creation Workshop. It may be useful to build supports in Chitubox instead of Creation Workshop. You could also do rotations, check for islands, etc. One possible model for workflow to use Chitubox:
is the truck that goes up and down true and with no wobble?
"Experience"
solid starter numbers:
2 “bottom layers” (maybe can use less? Changed from 4 to 2 and it seems to avoid a ledge at the bottom of the print“
120000 ms for bottom later (10000 is probably fine)
other layers 10000 ms although for sides higher seems better and doesn't seem to affect the quality of the print. 18000 is nice insurance
.05mm layer spacing seems like a good compromise between speed and quality. .1 comes out OK but you can see the lines easier. .025 and .0125 do work but at that point the XY makes it not look much better since you are only improving Z
the mask doesn't seem to hurt anything. Unclear how effective it is
warpage seems due to fep that is damaged or not tight in areas
containers (label all of them):
one to filter fep and put back in the vat
one to put base in
one to clean things with (other than the print)
one to clean the print with
paper towel holder so you can grab paper towels with one hand would be helpful
smaller microfibers would be handy. Cutting them creates a lot of lint or some sort but they are too large for efficient use
it's important to get all the IPA off after cleaning or it dissolves the resin and turns it white.
pieces seem to need only about a minute in the ultrasonic cleaner
a plastic scraper is critical and works well on fep, much better than just gloves
it would be helpful to have a place to hang the hood of the printer
Tips from others
wam bam slap mats for easy cleanup under everything
use flexible build plate
angle the model instead of building on flat plate
if a hollow part make sure you don’t create suction against the fep
