Had my D7 for less than two weeks. As a very experienced FDM user it was humbling to have so much to learn about DLP. This group and the NanoDLP forum have been crucial in me overcoming the learning curve.

Dynamic cure time, lift speed and lift height are seen as witchcraft by many, but I think they are a must to run an efficient printer.

The above link has example scripts for dynamic calculation, with examples on how they work and a guides on how to alter them to your needs. There is some background theory on why you would use them too. Hopefully it removes the barrier for most users.

Please enjoy, feedback an suggestions are welcome!

Hi again,

Definitely not after dynamic layer height slicing. My dynamic curing formula currently accounts for different layer thicknesses. I just want a way to enter my desired layer thickness on the 'Add Plate' screen to avoid cloning the profile for 35, 50, 70, 100, etc micron layer height.

Currently when slicing it takes the layer height from the selected resin profile, I propose that if the new input is not set to '00' then to take the layer height from it instead what is in the resin profile. All layers are then set to this height, just like they are now. This request is nothing more complicated than that.

Eg 1. Resin profile is set to 70 microns, new input is left as default 00, result is still 70 micron layer height.
Eg 2. Resin profile is set to 70 microns, new input is now changed to 50, result is that slicing now occurs at 50 microns with all other resin profile settings retained.

Most people will ignore it but those using dynamic cure will benefit greatly.

I think I have not explained properly.

I don't expect to the slicing speed or order to change, just that the variable of layer height is taken from the new input (if a value other than 0 is entered) instead of that stored in the selected resin profile.

Hi there,

Firstly, thank you for a fantastic piece of software. I've had my Wanhao D7 for about a week and although things were daunting at first, now that I'm getting more advanced I greatly appreciate the depth of the software.

I have tinkered to the point where I have dynamic scripts for cure time, lift speed and lift height. They are written to account for automatic alterations to curing time for different layer heights.

To make it so I don't have to have multiple profiles for various layer heights, could the 'Add Plate' screen have a simple box to override resin profile layer height?

Default is '0' which means don't change, otherwise micron value is entered to trigger the change.

Many thanks,

Michael
