[EternaL Tough] [Mighty 8K] Chiang's Water Bear with 0.03mm Layer Height

One of our community members from Taiwanese group Shang-Feng Chiang posts his result of printed out a water bear (tardigrade) model with 0.03mm layer height using his Phrozen Sonic Mighty 8K, which comes out as a great result. 

    The 0.03mm setting combine with the 8K resolution of his Mighty 8K, preserves the detail of the textures on the model's surfaces. This 10cm models took him 12 hours to print, due to his rather conservative plate moving setting.

    The resin he's using is from a local workshop here in Taiwan, which is not available around the globe. According to Chiang, this resin has similar characteristic compared to the Phrozen Aqua Gray 8K resin, but more watery which explained the higher exposure time.

    I would recommend people who would like to try this 0.03mm layer height setting with Phrozen Aqua 8K series resin, to simply replace the exposure time for both normal layers and bottom layers with the exposure time that has been calibrated to their printer before. With other parameters remains the same, this setting should be easy to print out successful 0.03mm layer height result with the Aqua 8K series resin using Sonic Mighty 8K.

Printer: Sonic Mighty 8K
Resin: EternaL Tough Skin Colored Resin

Layer Height: 0.03 mm
Bottom Layer Count: 6
Normal Layer Exposure Time: 3 s
Bottom Layer Exposure Time: 50 s
Transition Layer Count: 6
Transition Type: Linear
Transition Time Decrement: 6.710 s*
Waiting Mode During Printing: Resting Time
Rest Time Before Lift: 0 s
Rest Time After Lift: 0 s
Rest Time After Retract: 2 s

Bottom Layer Lift Distance: 8 + 0 mm
Normal Layer Lift Distance: 8 + 0 mm
Bottom Layer Retract Distance: 8 + 0 mm**
Normal Layer Retract Distance: 8 + 0 mm**
Bottom Layer Lifting Speed: 60 & 0 mm/min
Normal Layer Lifting Speed: 90 & 200 mm/min
Bottom Layer Retract Speed: 100 & 0 mm/min
Normal Layer Retract Speed: 100 & 0 mm/min

*Transition Time Decrement should be set automatically according to the both exposure time for normal and bottom layer, and the layer count of bottom and transition layer. If not, please insert the number provided above.

**The retract distance for both normal layer and bottom layer should be set automatically as the same of their lifting speed. If not, please insert the number provided above.


Thanks to Chiang for providing his result and settings to our community.

How to Create Your Own Resin Profile

Getting your resin settings right is crucial to achieving a successful print. This is particularly important for those who are aiming for the utmost detail and precision. However, it's often the case that companies only provide resin profiles for their own products—or sometimes they don't provide them at all.      For newcomers to the scene, it can be quite frustrating to spend the majority of their time fine-tuning settings. Moreover, what works perfectly on one printer might not produce the same results on another. This discrepancy arises from the variations inherent to different devices, which shows the necessity to tailor resin settings accordingly.      With that in mind, let's delve into the experience shared by Derek Jackson from J3DTech, also a Phrozen community member. He gives us some insight into the process of refining resin settings. Here's my take on the information: To dial in a resin, there are two main factors

[Mega 8K] Setting Supports on Perforated Build Plate

Sonic Mega 8K has the largest printing volume of Phrozen's Sonic 3D printer line-up by the time of writing this article. Except the size, perforated build plate that comes with Sonic Mega 8K is also an obvious different from other models in the Sonic line-up.     The reason Sonic Mega 8K comes with a perforated build plate is that, lager the scale the model is, or fuller the build plate, higher the suction force it has to deal with, also longer the time you have to wait for the resin to travel back to its place after retraction. The perforated build plate of Sonic Mega 8K can effectively helps reducing the suction force especially when printing the raft, and also letting resin traveling back to its position after retraction more quickly, preventing model from peeling off from the plate and layer lines happening.     Some people may find it inconvenient working with perforated build plate, as in the slicing software, there is no indicator

The Principle Behind Fast Resin 3D Printing

TL;DR:  There are several things you should look into when try to shorten your printing time. Before you start to adjust the speed of the setting, find a stable setting as your starting point. Understand your equipment and the material you are using. Choose a resin that requires lower exposing time with low viscosity, and install a releasing film that is not sticky to the cured resin.  Fast printing is a result of the combination of right setting for right tools, experimenting with the setting to optimize it is necessary. Expect to spend time on this process.      Printing fast has becoming a trending topic in Phrozen community recently. After Phrozen released a video promoting their ACF film, with the printer applied with the ACF film ended up prints 6x faster then the other one shown in the demonstration video, people are hyped about this idea.
