For example, if our machine has a pixel size of 29 \u00b5m, the optimal layer height is 30 \u00b5m (0.03).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As a rule of thumb, we will tell you that <strong>the human eye supposedly cannot tell the difference below 0.02 layer height, so if you want to play with this parameter, it is normally best not to go below 0.03<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Finally, also <strong>we must take into account the quality and design of the object to print.

If yours does not have one, with the VAT and platform removed and the screen protected with a sheet of paper, we run a test print. We check that the image displays correctly and that the UV power is right. If the screen or the UV shows problems, check whether your printer has a UV power adjustment and that it is not set wrongly. If not, the UV source may need replacing.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Check the USB<\/strong>, it is advisable not to use the USB stick that usually comes with the printer.

for example, for a layer height of 0.05 mm and a raft of 1\u20135 mm: 1 \/ 0.05 = 30 base layers. <br>Yes, it is not ideal, because the base layers have a long exposure time, which degrades and shortens the life of the UV source and the screen&#8230; on the other hand, it is a strategy that usually works well with stubborn printers, although normally from layer 2\u20133 onward it does not affect adhesion, except in complex cases where several things can affect normal operation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>base layer time<\/strong>, in this case we increase the time by 10 s and keep extending it if the problems continue&#8230; up to a maximum of 80 s on monochrome screens, because if it still does not stick beyond those values, the problem may be something more complex<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>transition layers<\/strong>, to apply an easy formula to remember, in these cases we can choose between two options&#8230; the first, use the same number as the base layers&#8230; the second, do not use transition layers, which is not usually advisable but can offset the wear caused by the higher number of base layers.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Adjusting the retraction distances<\/strong>: depending on the machine, its condition, speed settings or the automatic management that many of them implement, it can sometimes be advisable to increase these distances by at least 2 mm to avoid problems. There are two strategies depending on whether the machine or slicer settings use TSMC or not:\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>If we use TSMC, look up TSMC in this same guide: you will find the movements for base and normal layers (depending on the slicer you may or may not have different settings), with different values for each TSMC step&#8230; in these cases the ideal is to add 1 mm to the value of each step, splitting the 2 mm between both<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If we do not use TSMC, we simply add those 2 mm to the retraction values we have<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Again&#8230; <strong>these special settings are only advisable if we have a stubborn machine<\/strong> and the suggestions above have not got us prints that stick to our platform.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"las-capas-base-no-se-adhieren-a-las-normales\">The base layers do not stick to the normal layers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/labs.3dwork.io\/~gitbook\/image?url=https%3A%2F%2F3760761605-files.gitbook.io%2F%7E%2Ffiles%2Fv0%2Fb%2Fgitbook-x-prod.appspot.com%2Fo%2Fspaces%252F4SOiUz9PiuHFIwg2qk03%252Fuploads%252F1uTXiJEgweSPmIGL8kec%252Fimage.png%3Falt%3Dmedia%26token%3De1216fc3-07d6-449a-9deb-0811d51ac545&amp;width=768&amp;dpr=3&amp;quality=100&amp;sign=27686156&amp;sv=2\" alt=\"- - -\" title=\"- -\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although it is not a very common failure, sometimes our base layers do not stick to the normal layers, as in the following images:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/labs.3dwork.io\/~gitbook\/image?url=https%3A%2F%2F3760761605-files.gitbook.io%2F%7E%2Ffiles%2Fv0%2Fb%2Fgitbook-x-prod.appspot.com%2Fo%2Fspaces%252F4SOiUz9PiuHFIwg2qk03%252Fuploads%252FcuygYKNCK4OiP1tLYAl5%252Fimage.png%3Falt%3Dmedia%26token%3D981679c6-c497-4fb0-89ed-6066e42f9238&amp;width=768&amp;dpr=3&amp;quality=100&amp;sign=7079b139&amp;sv=2\" alt=\"- - -\" title=\"- -\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Only the base layers stick<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/labs.3dwork.io\/~gitbook\/image?url=https%3A%2F%2F3760761605-files.gitbook.io%2F%7E%2Ffiles%2Fv0%2Fb%2Fgitbook-x-prod.appspot.com%2Fo%2Fspaces%252F4SOiUz9PiuHFIwg2qk03%252Fuploads%252FTeLq9CIPTZRtnD2QL0dp%252Fimage.png%3Falt%3Dmedia%26token%3Da2718751-c655-45b9-b842-3dc8f2e41605&amp;width=768&amp;dpr=3&amp;quality=100&amp;sign=7c278530&amp;sv=2\" alt=\"- - -\" title=\"- -\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The base layers do not stick to the normal layers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This kind of problem is usually caused by an abrupt change in exposure time between the base layers and the normal layers, or because the normal layers use a very low exposure time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/labs.3dwork.io\/~gitbook\/image?url=https%3A%2F%2F3760761605-files.gitbook.io%2F%7E%2Ffiles%2Fv0%2Fb%2Fgitbook-x-prod.appspot.com%2Fo%2Fspaces%252F4SOiUz9PiuHFIwg2qk03%252Fuploads%252FkycZxzl88EiomUHSvrRb%252Fimage.png%3Falt%3Dmedia%26token%3Dc34a409a-853b-40be-ba68-e148bfed86fc&amp;width=768&amp;dpr=3&amp;quality=100&amp;sign=61d3ee42&amp;sv=2\" alt=\"- - -\" title=\"- -\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In these cases it is important to keep in mind:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>make sure our base layers are between 6 and 10<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>turn on transition layers, usually with the same number as the base layers<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/labs.3dwork.io\/~gitbook\/image?url=https%3A%2F%2F3760761605-files.gitbook.io%2F%7E%2Ffiles%2Fv0%2Fb%2Fgitbook-x-prod.appspot.com%2Fo%2Fspaces%252F4SOiUz9PiuHFIwg2qk03%252Fuploads%252FaYxNb72y9EgikZEvYDdh%252Fimage.png%3Falt%3Dmedia%26token%3Dd9218ac5-7bd0-4f43-9255-9fbf3b422544&amp;width=768&amp;dpr=3&amp;quality=100&amp;sign=98de84d2&amp;sv=2\" alt=\"- - -\" title=\"- -\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>set the lift and retract speeds below 40 mm\/min, or through tests try lower speeds in 5 mm\/min steps for the base layers<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>increase the exposure time of the normal layers by 20%<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Adjust the light-off delay for our machine.

For resin residue on the screen, we check for possible VAT leaks and remove the resin residue with great care: apply a little IPA for a few seconds and wipe with a microfibre cloth.

We can run the screen test explained earlier to find the faults, or use the UVtools analyser.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"lineas-horizontales-en-nuestras-piezas\">Horizontal lines in our parts<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/labs.3dwork.io\/~gitbook\/image?url=https%3A%2F%2F3760761605-files.gitbook.io%2F%7E%2Ffiles%2Fv0%2Fb%2Fgitbook-x-prod.appspot.com%2Fo%2Fspaces%252F4SOiUz9PiuHFIwg2qk03%252Fuploads%252FLPGEysWA6muMiLhGvkli%252Fimage.png%3Falt%3Dmedia%26token%3D9ecb17b0-0631-471d-9b25-4f0ebaa053a3&amp;width=768&amp;dpr=3&amp;quality=100&amp;sign=d7b8921&amp;sv=2\" alt=\"- - -\" title=\"- -\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sometimes completely horizontal lines appear on our prints, which can originate from:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A mechanical problem from wear or lack of maintenance on the Z axis.

We do the pre-wash\/washes with the parts still on the platform, remove the supports with the help of a dryer on the platform itself, and once the parts are off we cure them. This gives us fewer chances to damage our parts when removing the leftover base and supports. A dryer can also make this task easier, along with a spatula or a plastic scraper.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>We can adjust the exposure of the base layers by reducing 5 s in each test to find a balance between low adhesion (the parts do not stick) and high adhesion (the parts are hard to remove).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For more troubleshooting reference, the excellent d<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/doc.mango3d.io\/doc\/j3d-tech-s-guide-to-resin-printing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" class=\"external\">ocumentation of Lychee by our fellow J3D-Tech<\/a><\/strong> or the one from <a href=\"https:\/\/ameralabs.com\/blog\/resin-3d-printing-troubleshooting-a-comprehensive-guide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" class=\"external\">Ameralabs<\/a> can be a great help. <a href=\"https:\/\/labs.3dwork.io\/guias-impresion-3d\/guia-calibracion-impresoras-3d-sla-resina#post-procesado\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"impresoras-compatibles-y-nuestras-reviews\">Compatible printers and our reviews<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lychee is compatible with <strong>more than 750 resin printers<\/strong>.

It includes basic slicing, manual supports, island detection, anti-aliasing and community resin profiles. The only paid features are the ML Auto-Supports, the Suction Cup Detector, the advanced 3D Hollow and full multiplate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"que-diferencia-hay-entre-lychee-7-y-versiones-anteriores\">What is the difference between Lychee 7 and earlier versions?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lychee 8 replaces Electron with its own engine. According to the manufacturer, preparing files uses 22 times fewer resources than in 7, and manual supports are placed 8.4 times faster (manufacturer figures, identical scenes). The 7 series brought the ML Auto-Supports 3.0 in v7.5. If you have a 5.x version or earlier, the difference in speed and support quality is huge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"los-perfiles-de-resina-de-la-comunidad-son-fiables\">Are community resin profiles reliable?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The most downloaded profiles with the most positive ratings are very reliable as a starting point. Use them to get 80% of the work done, then adjust with an exposure test for the remaining 20%. Do not mistake a community profile for the &#8220;final setting&#8221; \u2014 every printer has its small differences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"puedo-usar-lychee-con-mi-impresora-anycubic-elegoo-creality\">Can I use Lychee with my Anycubic\/Elegoo\/Creality printer?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes. All the main brands are supported: Anycubic (all Photon series), Elegoo (Mars, Saturn), Creality (HALOT, MAGE, RAY), Phrozen, Flashforge, NOVA3D, Voxelab and many more. See the full list at <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.mango3d.io\/lychee-slicer\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" class=\"external\">docs.mango3d.io<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"que-pasa-con-la-prueba-gratuita-de-30-dias-de-plus\">What about the 30-day free Plus trial?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When you install Lychee for the first time or with a new account, a 30-day free Plus trial with all features activates automatically. You do not need a credit card. Use it to try the Auto-Supports, the Suction Cup Detector and the 3D Hollow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"funciona-el-cloud-slicing\">Does Cloud Slicing work?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes, for Plus subscribers. Cloud slicing sends the model to Mango3D&#8217;s servers so the slicing runs there. It is useful for very complex models that crash the local PC. The result is identical to local slicing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"como-actualizo-lychee\">How do I update Lychee?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lychee updates automatically. On startup, if a new version is available, it notifies you with a banner. Click &#8220;Update&#8221; and it downloads and installs without losing your profiles or projects. On Linux (AppImage) you have to download the new AppImage manually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For 3Dwork we have spent more than two years working with Lychee Slicer as official partners.
