Extremely long exposure times - Help!
Posted: Sun Feb 05, 2017 3:04 am
Hello,
I got an unassembled Kickstarter LittleRP kit from a family friend a few weeks ago, and purchased a Viewsonic PJD-7820HD. I have finally assembled the kit, focused and modified the projector, and have been trying to get it to print for the last few days with the little bottle of Makerjuice SF red that came with the kit. I have the projector at 50% brightness with eco mode turned off, and my last print was .05 layer height with 35 second layers to even partially cure the resin - Small features still aren't showing up and it seems to me it's due to the resin still not being cured enough.
What am I doing wrong? Is Makerjuice SF supposed to take 40+ seconds to cure? Even the LittleRP rook takes 7 hours to print with those exposure times.
Should I try turning up the brightness? I'm worried about being left with a solid brick of resin if I do that.
