Hey all, welcome to the very first step in your Resin 3D printing journey with the guide ‘Overview of Resin 3D Printing and Calibrating the Print Platform with the Creality LD-002H’

Resin 3D printers are an immensely powerful tool in the hands of a maker and they have never been more accessible. So welcome to a rundown on this technology. This guide will completely equip you with the knowledge so that by the end of this video you will be ready to safely pour liquid resin into the tank of your resin 3D printer and start your printing journey with full knowledge of the technology and provided tools.

Next in the series and already live is the guide ‘How To Complete Your First Resin 3D Print’ and the guide ‘Preparing a Computer Model for Resin 3D Printing – Lychee Slicer’. This trio of guides combined will get you printing brilliant custom 3D printed models out of your resin printer.

One of the best resin 3D printers in the business right now is the Creality LD-00H UV 3D Printer, with its speedy monochrome lcd screen, and is the perfect demonstration piece to go through this exploration of resin 3D printers.

Good morning, I refer to a Halot mage 3d printer.
when I mold in the tray, a resin thin film alwaysa forms. Since this is a huge waste, how can I prevent it from forming?
Thank you
Mirco

Hey @mirco293405, welcome to the forums!

Could you send some images of the resin film? This would help to identify it’s origin.

Hi Zack, please find the attached two pictures.
Even when I have to print two very small objects such as small buttons, I get this layer of resin at the base of the tray that I have to remove each time. I would like to avoid its formation which a cost and a waste of time. Thank
you, for your help.

Hey @mirco293405,

Thanks for those images! I have a couple of questions about your print settings.

  1. What is your UV power set to?
  2. What are your exposure times set to?
  3. How long have you owned the printer?
  4. Have you tried using a different resin?

Dear Zach,
thanks for your kind reply,

  1. Where do I see the UV set?

2a) layer height 0,05 mm
2a) button layer count 4
2b) exposure time 4 s
2c) bottom exposure time 30 s
2d) light of delay 6
2e) lifting distance 8 s
2f) lifting speed 120 mm /min

  1. I bought it on September 2024
  2. No it is my first resin free delivered with the printer

Normally I used automatic support and I have just noted that on the right side at the dropdown appears : +all, + platform. (see pictur dropdown)
Does it maybe depend on it?

I here with attach print setting

Thank you,

Mirco

Hey @mirco293405,

I have found some documentation for the software you are using. I believe this extra layer of resin is due to the generation of ‘bottom layers’.

This looks like the setting to adjust:

I’m guessing this is a typo, and this should say ‘Bottom layer count 4’.

If this is the case, you should be able to set this to 0 to remove these additional layers, although it is important to note that they are used to ensure your print sticks properly to the build plat,e so you may run into some issues with different prints if you remove these layers.

Hope this helps! :slight_smile:
