![3D resin print supports [EASY GUIDE]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/MU0Cq_bjhy4/mqdefault.jpg)
Dude this is a resin 3D printing MUST HAVE!
@Trantor The Troll I had issues printing the file out of Photon Validator, but using it to find them and fixing them in CHITUBOX, and printing the file from there has worked fine for me on the MARS
I swear this channel is one of those undiscovered gem's that I wish had way more attention than it currently has! I just got my 3d printer for my birthday, and I've been devouring the content here and learning so much. Please keep up your fantastic work!
I'll back that up. This guy's great. I like him better than Mr Jessy, tbh. He's not overly peppy, just focused on fixing complex or simple problems for a whole lot of people
And here I am still getting dice to print right, one day wanting to move up to models. Thank you sooo much for making vids like this and for wanting others to succeed. The world needs more ppl who want to see each other do well, that's how great things happen
Awesome! I just got a resin printer and a couple prints failed because of bad supports. Buyer's remorse was starting to creep up on me, but this might fix all the issues I was having. Thanks a lot!
As someone new to resin 3D printing, this should be required knowledge. Thanks. I am now more inclined to print minis (whereas I am actually using it to make pins and test out some design concepts). Thank you greatly!
Just got my resin printer, but have been fretting about those f*****g supports - this tutorial has been a godsend. On my third print so far with less than 30 minutes prep for those supports, and no printer errors (yet). Absolutely subbed.
Fantastic tutorial - thank you! TBH, this 3D printing thing has much more of a learning curve than I thought it would, and I wouldn't even attempt it without the availability of tutorials like this.
I was so frustrated with adding supports. This is a game changer. Thank you for the great info!!
My chitubox 1.7 dont have the option to save the sliced fil to cbddip, what do i need to do. :D i have Anycubic Photon S resin printer, and mine is saving the files like this : _PIEZA-MODIFICADA-II.photons so somthing here is wrong,
Good video. Yes this tool really is a necessity. One point though: you didn't have to save and then reload after the first round of the "fix" feature though. Just go directly to the arrow buttons and it will take you to the remaining larger "unfixed" islands.
Seriously, its a pity youtube doesnt hand out medals, youve saved a lot of people a lot of grief.
Use PrisaSlicer in SLA mode, Auto support, export the model with supports to STL, load into ChituBox, and print, done. way faster, way easier, haven't had a failure yet that wasn't related to exposure, or bed leveling.
can you share a link or some explanation about this possibility?
This video sums up all the reluctantcies I've had with buying a resin printer. The software part seemed intimidating to me. This helped relieve some of those concerns. Thank you.
I spent hours and hours in Chitubox this very evening!
Edit: Ha! I run all my photon files through the validator after slicing. It's really great for getting any missed islands. GMTA!
Hi, do you still do this? If you do when you bring them back to chitubox is your file all pixelated?
@@nathancarbo there were some problems with chitubox in previous versions if I recall. The newer versions are supposed to have fixed them. I've been lucky and not had any issues like you describe. There's a great community on Facebook for the anycubic photon that may be of help to you.
You are a life saver! I'm new to the hobby, but trying to print some complex models. I spent an hour adding supports, only to find that pathfinder from APEX was missing a leg haha! Prints perfectly now! Thank you :D
This video is fantastic! Just took my printer out of the box 2 days ago. The one thing I knew would give me fits are the islands. I have the Creality LD-002R so it took a little bit of figuring out but I got it to work. I'd much rather have too many supports than have a print fail. Perfect for a noob. 👍🏼❤️
For Creality LD-002r, Elegoo Mars Pro and I believe Epax X1 users.
My work around for the CBT file format is to create my Supports under the correct profile for your printer. Save as you go.
Once completed, Swap to the default profile.
Select Setting's on the right and swap to the Default profile (I have this as a exported file as well).
Slice the model and this now allows me to save in CBDDLP format.
Open Validator and just run the fix.
Once Fix has been ran once,
In Chitubox, Open Settings and select the correct Printer profile.
Can import profile again if you like in case anything has changed.
Do the steps outlined in the Vid, Slice and re-save it in CBT file format.
As for why Validator doesn't read CBT files as of yet I believe it's due to it being a newer file format, so hasn't been reversed engineered or been offered yet.
Hope they fix it.
edit: Just fixed up the steps.
You can use The File Validator to edit the image (layer). Just click next to the red spot and an editing window opens where you can click to add or subtract pixels. Saves you from going back and forth between programs so many times.
Does this actually add supports? I have been super frustrated trying to get supports set up. I couldn't position the screen to fix the island. If this works you will be my favorite person!
(1) On your first load filename.cbddlp file to Photon File Validator (PFV) have 91 islands; current file on Chitubox have 91 islands - verified using PFV. (2) 2nd load of filename-1.cbddlp to PFV have 56 islands; current file on Chitubox is STILL 91 islands since you didn't touch it. Then you went back to Chitubox @9:20 and started to fix all 56 islands one slice at a time. If you only fixed 56 islands in Chitubox, whatever happened to the 35 islands that you 'fixed' inside PFV, but not in Chitubox? Are those islands not important?
Amazing video! Thank you so much. The keyboard clacks were a bit loud, but the information in this video definitely made up for it.
A MUST Know Problem and Solution.
Very useful! Thanks
I wish I had been smart enough to look for this. This is great, no more spending 20+ minutes per model to support it.
You could spend just as much time trying to fix all the issues....
@@broderp Yes sir. I know that now. And it's not 20 minutes, it's MUCH LONGER because my computer is really slow.
Me: "This is fantastic! I will never have issues again!"
Also me, realizing I already had a print going for two hours: "Shit."
This the most amazing and clear video on the subject I've seen so far ! Very nice work and thanks a lot, i'm gonna give it a try with pleasure !
I have heard of this, but never used it. Thanks for bring it to the forefront again with this video.
I'm just starting the adventure of 3D printing with a resin printer. I'm really glad to have found this so early in my journey. Thanks for the good info!
Thank you! I'm just getting started and this was one of the topics that had me most confused. This makes it so much easier.
thanks so much, i was really struggling getting some prints to go right!
wow, easy button. That's amazing. Thanks for sharing that and the cast n play site. Just getting started myself.
Handy tutorial for sure, but I feel bad for your arrow keys! :D
This is amazing I just had my print fail on the wrist and decided to do some research and I found this. Thx so much this should be part of chitubox
could you show us prints with the auto support vs auto + the ones you added. I wanna see the tangible difference.
Thanks for the info. I order my elegoo mars today i will get it on 6 november. This helped me a lot.
Got mine today
So glad i found this video can't wait to try it out. I just got a Epex printer and have been struggling with learning how to support things properly.
I'll try this with my PrusaSlicer->Chitubox workflow. It will surely be a gamechanger for my printing :)
As a complete newbie, I reckon this is a piece of genius! Thanks
thank you so much, this was easily the most helpful video I have seen about resin printing.
OMG!! My Elegoo Mars arrived today, I found this video and this is GOLD already!! Thanks dude!!!
Big thanks for the tutorial. Talk about a time saver!
this is PURE GOLD !!!!!
That solves a ton of my problems, thanks! All of your Photon videos have been extremely helpful.
at places like 207 the unsupported layer will more than likely adhere to the next layer and definitely that hook would not have failed or been flat.
Hi !!! Thanks for everything you do for us, I have an Elegoo Saturn, and I need to replace a corrupted USB drive ... please Help...
Very good vid, I just re-setup my Photon with an air handler system so I can now use it in my small apartment and not deal with the smell and feel like I am cutting onions. I did a print last night of a dragon that I set up months ago that I may have overdone it on the supports. I will go back and redo it with what you have shown here and see how well I did v using the software. Oh, and the air handler worked like a fracking charm.
This is pure Gold! Thanks for posting this.
It would be nice if maybe you could do a video on how to actually get this program? Github seems to be as helpful as a dead pigeon as to how to actually d-load anything.
This is such a valuable resource. Thanks so much for bringing it to our attention! :)
Great software. Thank you again for another useful video.
Really great no messing vids
Wow amazing, thank you for your videos this will help so much saves time and gives more enjoyment to this great hobby
Isn’t there a program or extention to rotate a model automatically to produce the least amount of islands, or are you already using that?
0:02 nah i just press auto supports and it works every time. helps if you pick an better angle. great tool tho
I'm new to resin printing and ChituBox.This was really helpful.
thank you very for this! i'm heading over and downloading it right now!
Hello,
Upon watching if I understood it correctly, the steps are
1. Run auto support on "Chitubox"
2. slice it and save it as *.cbddlp
3. open the *.cbddlp on "Photon File Validator"
4. Run auto fix in "Photon File Validator"
5. Save it again as *-1.cbddlp
6. Open the file *-1.cbbdlp in "Photon File Validator"
7. Run auto fix in "Photon File Validator"
8. Manually fix the issue in "Chitubox" while navigating in "Photon File Validator"
My question is do I need to open the "*-1.cbddlp" file on "Chitubox" between step 6 & 7?
Thank you in advance.
I have changed my workflow a bit to make it a bit easier. In a nutshell, you are just going to use the Validator to identify your islands. Here's the easiest way to do it. Set up your model in Chitubox. Add manual supports or auto supports. I have been adding manual just to see how good I get at identifying them. Next, slice the model and save as CBDLLP file. Keep Chitubox open. Open the CBDDLP file with Validator. Run the fix. This will in essence ignore all the 1-2 pixel islands (these will print fine anyway)., Run the Validator again on the file to identify all the big stuff that needs to be fixed. (The reason I run it to fix the small stuff is I don't want to go through literally hundreds of layers that don't matter anyway) Now, just go back and forth checking the level in Validator and adding the needed support in Chitubox. The bottom line is there is really no need to save the file in Validator. Make sense? Questions, shoot me a PM, I'd be glad to assist!
Nice video. Don't have 3DP yet but getting ready. It looks like more resin is going into supports than model itself :). When you think about it looks like there is no way around it.
ive picked up a Elegoo mars last week and found your channel ! amazing stuff and tip big thanks to this videos too!
Thanks for the tip. As always, very helpful.
I thought this was click bait, then I realized it was the answer to the universe. Who needs 42 when you have this guy?
very helpful, thanks so much
great video, extra points for the rooster bit. 👍
Thank you! This will solve so much for me and my epax!
Awesome, so glad I found this!
Wow! Amazingly helpful video! Thank you!
Great tips thanks for the direction
Why isn't this a plugin for Chitubox?!?
That would be great for us who don't save out that file format.
Why doesn't Chitubox just fix them leaving unsupported islands?!?
Sadly this is why I hate Closed source software ! People have the skill to fix it, but they can and we depend on the guy making chitubox !
Yeah it seems all chitubox needs to do is integrate the island finder ffs
Much needed software!
Thank you SO much for this invaluable heads up.
Fisrt time here and just with the intro u have my like, good man.
Gracias! Será una herramienta muy útil, me ahorraste tiempo, resina y muchas horas renegando con mi impresora!
I assume from the first 5 min is about the supports(didn't watched all). Use prusa slicer for the sla/dlp print you can generate supports and export only that to your slicer etc.
Thanks mate. Will try it out!
wow! that is excided! Thanks for sharing
Big help, I still managed to find 3 islands it missed !
Wow great tool. Thnx.
Great tip!!! Been using the Photon File Validator for a while now and didn't even think of using the unfixed layers numbers and fixing them in Chitubox. (Also why didn't you post the video a day early so a wizard mini I printed would of had a quarter staff and not the 1/8th staff it has now :).
Can you show how you clean out the heavy supports so smoothly without damage to the print?
When slicing my model and try to save it as a .cbddlp file type, the version of Chitubox (1.7.0) that I am currently using would not let me choose the .cbddlp file type from the drop down list of available file types. However, deleting .ctb and manually adding .cbddlp to the end of my file name and then save it, makes the Photon File Validator believe it can open the file and actually successfully loads the file and analyses it as demonstrated by 3DPrintFarm.
hey thanks for the advise. it works 100% :D!! i was loosing hope ahahah :D
Hey Chitubox, buy out this software and combine it with your slicer!
Super handy info, thanks!
Great tool, thank you
Amazing tutorial, gonna try it with my next prints, I failed almost half of my prints I hope it will help me solve the problem.
P.S.: Stop smashing that mechanical keyboard, I probably lost 10% of my hearing during this video :D
lol me too
I have Photon myself, but I am going on my second mainboard in it...
Awesome! About to get my first resin printer and this tip will make my learning curve so much easier! Thanks again!
Absolute cool Thanks for all the info and Super Video
Brilliant thank you for sharing this, it's great. Excellent video>
I up the density to 90% should cover all these islands
Nice video, I'll share it with my patrons.
great work there.
You're my hero dude. Thank you!
Awesome vid!! I was super excited to try this only to find out that it doesn't support the new *.pwms files for the anycubic photon mono series printers. Guess im stuck doing it the old way for now.
Great video man, subscribing
They need to get this into a slicer. The first one who does will get a huge market share. You also do a very big disservice by completely glossing over the position of the model prior to adding support. Positioning of the model should be a prerequisite to adding support as this can greatly reduce the amount of supports needed. For someone who is claiming they want to make 3D printing easier for people not covering such a basic topics as orientation will lead to many frustrated users which is exactly what this video is supposed to be avoiding.
Fantastic video...i had to watch it a couple time and some of the pixels are sooooo small that you can't attach support.
That's cool, I will try it today!
thank you so much proper help
I tried using MeshMixer, but the supports sticked to the mesh, and ruined the printing... I would really appreciate if you could give some hints on this software, too.
In the meanwhile, I'll use your tips with File Validator :)
Thanks!!!
Dude Thanks for sharing , you're awesome man
Hello, this video is great, and has helped a lot. Can I ask what support settings you use for supports for Chitubox please?
Amazing tips I needed this. I have tried to print this one piece it's turned out wrong each time.
Thank you so much for this!!
