Makerjuice Waxcast.

Postby hirenashra » Tue Jun 14, 2016 6:55 am

Has anybody else used this stuff? I've been trying it for a couple of days now and I just can't get it to stick to build plate. It always ends up stuck to the FEP! Grrrrr! :evil:

Having the same issue with B9 Castable Yellow.

Can someone tell me how to get successful prints more frequently?

Try to lower the build plate, until just touch the FEP film. What is your printer and what is the Z slice?

Score / scuff the heck out of your build plate - it's too smooth. 20 grit sandpaper, a razor knife, etc...

Try adjusting that 1500ms up and down and see if it helps too.

FYI there are no pigments in WaxCast (just wax particulate) and it won't settle out. BTW I used a LittleRP + FEP flexvat for all the development work on WaxCast, so I've printed this resin a LOT on the LittleRP. :P

I have been printing with WaxCast without any issues.

Here are some pointers that may help:

Build plate needs to be parallel to the vat.
Light intensity - 30 micron Z - 45micron x,y
Insure adequate first burn in layers
Make supports thicker than you would for other resins.
Make sure you have a large enough initial surface layer.
