  • Today, We are going to look at a simple STL file that uses less than 2 ml of resin and takes less than 10 mins to print to help you dial in the perfect normal exposure time for any resin on any resin 3d printer!
    Link below to Validation Matrix STL. Special thanks to Vinicius Silva!

      @@3DPrintFarm Thanks. Just run the first test and it looks like the defaults for my QIDI Shadow were over exposing by a good deal. Does room temperature have an effect? I have my printer in a garage where the south Texas temperature is over 100 degrees.

      Garret , thanks for the great video and the method but I have a problem, maybe you can help?! The setup: Anycubic Photon S, Anycubic Plant-based resin green & Chitubox latest version. With your method the ideal time works out at 4,0 sec. exposure time, but in a test print the supports (standard Chitubox settings) are failing... - when I go back to the standard 8 sec. Chitubox exposure time the print and supports are perfect... Your opinion \ suggestion?

    Garret - Just wanted to take a second to thank you for your videos.
    I'm just starting out with my first resin printer (AnyCubic Photon S). I watched a ton of CZcams videos and was pretty well prepared, but I wanted to let you know that yours have been instrumental in helping me replace my torn FEP (a tragic unboxing mistake), troubleshoot, and get "over the hump" of initial failed prints and getting confidence built up.
    I was just in the past couple of days thinking about learning about the calibration prints I hear about and then this video shows up in my recommendations, right on time.
    Again, kudos for helping the hobby and community. Well done and good on ya.

    Also, you should be getting an equal (+/-1) number of dots and holes on the right side of the print. Overexposed more dots, underexposed more holes. This is the easiest test that I have found too.

    This was tremendously helpful! I got some new resin and tried rolling with the same settings as what I was using before. I couldn't find any recommended exposure time from the manufacturer, and I was kind of stumped. This lets me take ownership and solve the problem WITH SCIENCE! Found out my optimum exposure time is about half of what I had been using.

    I've been somewhat frustrated lately because I have a new mono screen printer and some people say mono screen printers need less exposure time, so I don't know what kind of settings I've been needing for proper settings. Plus I'm used to turning my FDM machines to the best settings I can get them to with each material. This should help a ton and will be the next thing I do.

    Very excellent video! Just yesterday I was trying to print one half of a model car body (the whole thing is too big for the printer), and the supports in the middle stopped forming halfway through the print. I did some adjustments, but I didn't go past the 2.5 exposure time. I'll try your method to see what happens.
    Interesting enough, despite the missing supports, the body came out fine with no deformed panels. Either which way, this will be helpful in those situations where some files are trickier than others, depending on what's being printed. I did download the matrix .stl and will definitely fine tune this machine (Phrozen Sonic Mini4K).
    Thanks so much!
