Tips for Best Print Results
-
Calibrate exposure time: Use Zortrax’s exposure calibration tool to fine-tune settings when no pre-settings are available. Zortrax
-
Shake and rest resin: Many resins benefit from shaking and letting bubbles dissipate before printing.
-
Optimize supports & orientation: Angling parts and adjusting support density reduces failures and improves surface quality.
-
Monitor temperature: Consistent room & resin temperatures ensure repeatable curing. Liqcreate resins work best between 20-25°C (68-77°F)
