Get BETTER 3D PRINTS and FEWER FAILS with Better Orientation!

Here I show you some of the things I do to get better prints and fewer fails.

I had many many failures because a number of reasons.

My advice to the new ones, first of all, dont try to fit every piece on your print. Its better to do it on multiple prints and orientate correctly every single piece.

Then if you are tryin to print very detailed statues, I wouldnt use the 3d grid infill when you hollow the model. Instead add supports inside the model. Sometimes auto supports arent enough.

Finally, for taller supports I would always try to put 1 or 2 that connect with it, cuz if one fails at least there are 1 or 2 to save that high part of the print.

even though this is for resin this actually helped me a lot in my FDM printing adventure! my print quality alone is amazing thanks for the pointers!! love the content

As usual another video I learned something Ty

[D-Designsrule]

Another great video I’ve read as well u can u use a math equation for this as well

On the heads and arms, I noticed you do not have drain holes toward the top of the print (side toward the vat) I was always told that you needed drain holes on the top and bottom to prevent suction problems. Do you not need drains on the top of the head? That would really help out on post processing, but don't want to ruin a print if I can.

Hi Henry, have you made any videos on orientation of bases, ?

[jamestoomey]

Great video as always Henry, thanks.

I am always very worried about suction and on the Rogue torso at 2:56 and 2:57 I would have been very worried about her left elbow having too much suction until it joined up with the torso where the drain holes are which brings me to my question:
At what point would you start to worry about suction in a situation like that? Obviously that one turned out okay.

I wish you listed the files or maybe the creators for the files you show. I need more information on that Optimus Head.

I don't have a resin printer yet but soon, so orientation is basically the same as fdm, from what i see

[nelsonhuang]

Is there a way to get rid of resin trap / resin pockets in chitubox? I'm not sure if it would affect my print but probably don't want uncured resin still stuck in the piece after cleaning it.

[cardigast]

Excellent video as always. And I have a doubt.
Do you use the supports that the program gives you? Don't you add more to make sure it goes well?
Thanks for everythig

hey TCC, can i ask? do you ever use rafts? i have been told to always use them but rlly not sure, allot don't seem to

[hondagurl]

So Im curious... what temperature do you keep your resin room at? I for the life of me can not get my prints to come out anymore. I have tried all your tips and tricks and all seem to fail at the beginning or mid way through. I was told to keep my reain room warm and to make sure the fep is tight. How do you get auch amazing prints to come out!?

[red-tailangelspitfire]

Hi im trying to find out which printer to buy, if i get the saturn 2 will i be able to make those nice size prints that i see your making in decent time?

[peterclegg]

Do you reckon it's the hardware, software or just orientation as I've tried many angles and still get layer shifts.

[frankjones]

Great video - quick question, is there a reason not to use the pre-supported files that Wicked prepare? What is your experience with them? thanks for the help

[sbr-synrosimbugracing]

Wait a minute. What happened to the 20% support density you used to use?

[marijanmajacic]

Hello Henry. I just bought elegoo saturn s and sunlu black resin. I saw on your settings that you got elegoo mars printer. Can you share your setrings for elegoo printer. I try several prints for cones to test the resin and it is not going very good. Thank you very much. Cheers

[chadpatrick]

Hey, man. Great video! What is your typical thickness when you hollow a model? I want to save as much resin without making the print too fragile.

[peterclegg]

I still get layer shifts which is really annoying when it's on a model with detailed fabric you can't sand it out.
