Been having hits and misses with the printing Just the nature of learning a new thing I guess The centers have a higher success rate than the hoops as the tiny lip on the very end of the hoops just didn't play ball so I've altered the design a tiny bit, barely noticable but I know it's there But yeah the failure-pile is a whole lot bigger than the success-pile for sure... But I'm LOVING IT! It's so wild that I can actually produce stuff! Here's the loot so far, plus a few odds and ends out of frame.





Below is my current barrier to being able to produce more efficiently/better-er. That screen is supposed to only be displaying that rectangle outline shape. But it has strips through it and some mess towards the edges. As far as I've read the LCD screen are just so finnicky and fragile that they're classed as a consumable part of the machine. And this machine has been through the post system and through a house-move where I wasn't able to cuddle it on its journey.

Having said that, because it's such a 'consumable' part, replacements are easily available and easily installed. 6 screws, maybe a bit of heatgun and one ribbon-cable. That's it! So I've ordered a new one and I started giving the machine a deeeep clean as well



This is how I mega-clean the print bed (the blue flat thing) and the resin vat (the blue frame with clear plastic). I just sit and clean it after most prints. It's quite relaxing, though the clear plastic is expensive and under tension so I have to be careful with that.



Clear and clear green was out of stock, so I had to get 'skin' works the same, just not as cool as clear parts

Awesome!! I bet your glad it’s designed to be worked on n parts are easy to source. Can’t wait to see your stock pile of printed wheels in 6 months time.

Cheers for showing whats involved with the printer. Please keep sharing its very interesting.

If only you had a cnc lathe to machine and pump out the hoops/rim

[B61 MACK]

Nice little stock pile of rims centers.
Ya its always interesting how it all works.

[slowlylearning]

Gosh yeah, I'm constantly taking screenshots of wheels when I see em online

Can do with the piccies and info And my god could you imagine havinf an automatic hoop production line?! That would be the dream

[slowlylearning]

Got the LCD replaced and am just waiting to see if there's going to be an electrical outlet put in the garage today, then it's back up to speed

[B61 MACK]

Glad you said what it is I would of said a bit of black plastic with a ribbon stuck to one end yes!

[sandboarder]

I thought you printed a flat rectangle

I bet your itching to get it fitted and printing
