nanoDLP

Ah! Got it! I was thinking all along it was: Print Time, Resin, Usage, Resin Cost and Stop Layers. That makes sense!

This was happening on both my PC (1920x1080) and my laptop (1280x720)

Thanks!

It now saves the price in the Resin Profile, however it never calculates a cost on the Plates page. It just shows Resin Cost as "-". I've even recreated the plate, no update.

I have to agree with this, this is an amazing piece of software you have developed for us users. Please, please get your donation page up and running, I'd love to send some support. I am sure many feel the same way.

I agree, I'd love to see this and some features added to help fine tune profile creation.

I'd also like to have an option to print variable x/y sized slices at the curing intervals. For instance:
0.5mm square, 1mm square, 2mm square @ 1 seconds
0.5mm square, 1mm square, 2mm square @ 1.5 seconds
0.5mm square, 1mm square, 2mm square @ 2seconds
etc.

Because the problem with everything being the same size, is that large pieces cure much faster than small pieces. This would let us choose the exposure time that works the best as an average, then tweak with dimming/exposure time further.

Thanks

Very cool and thanks for the information. Does it have a peeling motion, or just works from the normal plate movement? I might have to give this a try during my rebuild.

Wow, that looks great! What micron and about how many milliseconds per layer? I'm still in the tweaking phase of my top down, getting some really nice prints, just some are a bit rough on the undersides so I am trying to find that curing sweet spot.

As for the pan, I am still not sure I understand what it does exactly. Is it just used to hold your resin?

Thanks again!

I hate to bring up old threads, but has there been any developments on setting proper scale for top down printers? I am looking for something similar to how CW handles it. I measure the projected area, input the dimensions, print a 20mm cube then measure. If the scale is off, I just input the prints measurements and it calculates the proper scale. This has been the one thing that has been keeping me from fully pursuing nanoDLP as my main printing software.

Thanks!

Hey Shahin,

I was slicing at 51 microns, but I think there was something up with the decimal points. I entered it again and this time nanoDLP recommended 51.000999 and it sliced perfectly.

Thanks!

Hey Shahin,

I've switched to relative positioning, but I am still not getting any motor movement when printing. It's like it does Cure Time > Shutter (which I disabled, but still shows in the UI) > Next Layer > Repeat. Should it display any UI updates about movement?

I have also switched back to the generic distro, any ideas? Anything I can provide to troubleshoot?

Thanks again for the help,
Corey
