Resin Prints.4

Have yet to upload a portfolio piece for this sculpt yet, but could not wait to start test prints to see how it looks. Started with a small solid version, then scaled up 500% and hollowed the big boy out. I also got a wash/cure station, and that is why there is visible white kind of 'gunk' on the larger one... I overcured it, but in a way I like it better lookin this way, gives it character :)

Resin Prints.2

After a somewhat successful print, I let hubris get the best of me and tried a more difficult one... Hollowed it out, this time put some drain holes because in the previous print I learned uncured resin definitely gets trapped inside the hollowed models and can cause... issues, long term with model stability.
I'm not sure what exactly caused the failed area of this print, the rest of it looks great but somehow the lower torso got messed up adhering to the legs causing a 'shearing' effect to happen, causing the bottom half to be detached--and somehow it corrected itself and printed the rest of it no problem. After semi-failed print I scaled down the model a tad and printed this out as a full structure, not hollow. Came out perfect.

After doing a handful of calibration prints to make sure everything checked out, i began printing one of my own models, hollowed it out, sliced it, and started print. It looked great from the vat until I scraped it off the next morning and noticed there was some issue curing a portion of a starting layer which eventually corrected itself--here are some photos of da boi

Notes; i did not put a drain hole in this model, ignorance is bliss :). this led to me poking a hole in an unstable portion of the model filling it with water, and draining it repeatedly until it was cleaned out. Although the print is technically a failure, im considering it a success all things considered.
