Why Resin 3D Prints Fail - Improve Your Prints - Tips on Understanding Overhangs and Supports

An animated explanation to “Why did this happen?” When you move up to larger resin 3d prints, you also start seeing failures. There’s no blanket answer for all print failures. But in this video I explore a few reasons why resin 3d prints sometimes fail. And hopefully show you how you can get better results.

This video includes over 10 minutes of animated segments and those took forever to finish.

Hope you enjoy it!

A well-done presentation.Probably one of the most professional videos I've seen from the 3D printing community.

[SrdjanS_Automations]

Are you kidding me, 5k subscription on THIS quality of a video? You my sir deserve more! I just ordered Elego Mars and I am thankful for your useful content

[PortalFPV]

In all the videos I have seen for the past 2 years, I don't think anyone has explained printing and how supports work with such simple and easy to understand graphics. Bravo sir!
From now on I'm just going to load your video instead of fumbling thru an explanation with non 3D printing people

[jfedele]

As a SLA noob, this video is amazingly helpful. As a motion animator myself, I know the time it takes to make even simple animations like that. Well done, like and subscribed!

[xtradd]

Man, the animation and content are amazing! thank you

[ReedTaylor]

Thanks for this. I have a ton of experience with FDM and this was exactly the high density informative content that I was looking for, focused on the differences and what's happening behind the scenes of a failure. Now I'm off to print some more!

[QuintBUILDs]

Epic animations, especially explaining the flex and snap of the FEP! Just got my Saturn and this helped me understand what's going on beneath the goo! :)

[lomaximus_music]

I'm shocked that you don't have more subscribers. This was one of the best videos I've ever seen on this topic. Keep up the amazing work!

[fotomakr]

Essentially what everyone else has said - clear and with great animations that really illustrate your points. Feel slightly more prepared to print now.

[marcosscriven]

Underrated channel! Thanks for a great explanation on resin prints.

[AS-mwdc]

This video could be used to teach students in a classroom. Thanks for the information. I'm just about to start my resin journey and this video helps out a lot. thank you!

I've been printing with FDM for some time now so I'm very familiar with supports and overhangs. However, having just bought my first SLA printer my first prints were less than stellar. Whilst it's obvious the print orientation is reversed, I hadn't quite wrapped my head around proper support placement and print orientation (I guess FDM muscle memory just didn't want to let go). Thank you for explaining very clearly what my brain should have been telling me but didn't. This has helped me massively and you have gained a sub. This video should be a must watch for anybody new to SLA printing. Once again a massive thank you for providing that much needed light bulb moment.

Been Printing on 5 different FDM printers for the past 5 Years and just picked up a Peopoly Phenom L and a Phrozen Sonic Mini and had/have absolutely no idea how to support or orientate Models for Resin Printing, Major Hats off to this Video as it has been the best i have seen by

[sprobertson]

The depth of information and the visualizations are amazing, good job

[DMartinez]

This is by far the best explanation about resin printing and understanding the process when it comes to trying to assure a successful print! Thanks for helping illustrate the issues involved and helping to avoid failed prints. I just began resin printing with my ANYCUBIC Photon D2 and have had to work through some of these problems already and this video really helped me understand my print issues a lot better! SUBSCRIBED!

[Floating.Point.]

This content is gold. There are hundreds of how-to videos that are worthless unlike this one because you’re TEACHING based on error and problems, not the other way around where people just blindly follow "the correct" way without ever fully understanding why they are doing what they’re doing. Thanks a lot.

[RVincents]

Fantastic! The animation totally makes a difference in understanding how the printer works and finally it all clicked in...THANK YOU!

[MakersBestFriend]

One of the best graphical descriptions of 3d printing I’ve seen, awesome job

[Inertia]

(like most folks getting into this) I have watched many, many videos covering these topics.
This Video is hands down Top Grade Info.
Way to Go. Thanks for the help.

[mcneilmotors]

One day over 2 years old and this video just taught me more than the last 5 videos combined. Now I gotta watch your whole channel. THANK YOU!
