Dyeing heygears resins

Hey guys! Can't really find any solid answers to this online, I'm planning on using the PAWR10 wear resistant resin for printing and producing custom action figures - the problem is that it only comes in that bright creamy color. General rule with action figures is that joints that will be rubbing against each other are unpainted so the paint doesn't just chip off, however the color should match the rest of the figure. This won't really be possible with the PAWR10 as it only comes in a bright creamy color.

I was wondering if anyone has any experience or advice dyeing heygears resins? I assume it's not recommended since even changing the pigment can mess with the fine synchronization between the machine and resin. Is there maybe any way to dye resins post printing and curing? I've seen some people put printed parts in heated water with alcohol dye but I'm not sure how effective this is. Thank you!

Are these fees normal?

Hi! Hopefully this doesn't come off as ignorant, I opened my shop just yesterday and I'm a total and complete newbie to all of this. I just made a first sale and these fees struck me as a bit extreme... I'm selling from the EU, Croatia. Thank you!

File stuck loading indefinitely

Not the first time this has happened and I'm dangerously close to being done with this software. I spend hours supporting a model only to open the same scene the next day and the slicer is stuck loading it forever and I have to restart all over again rinse and repeat.

I tried reinitializing, reinstalling, booting pc on and off, nothing worked so far. Please don't make me switch after fucking months of learning supports with this slicer specifically, god.

What even happened here?

I don't really know what to make of this. At first I thought okay, either needs more or heavier supports since it clearly came loose. But when I took a better look I'm not sure - how did only the corners print like that? And it doesn't look like delamination either since there's not a clear cut where the layers got separated, the corners look like they cracked apart from the rest of the print somehow??? What am I looking at here??

This isn't the first time something like this has happened either, is this really something as simple as delamination cause it doesn't look like anything I've ever seen.

Please help.

Sanity check/losing motivation at this point

Hey guys, not my first help post here but hopefully my last. Ive been putting off posting this as I don't want to sound like a total crybaby, but this post is essentially begging to help me not genuinely give up on this hobby at this point.

It gets to a point that people turn their head when the problem stops making sense and advice runs dry, which I understand - but its so painfully demotivating I'm not sure what to do anymore.

I'll keep it as concise as I possibly can; no matter what print, no matter what settings, no matter what resin, no matter what support configuration, I can't get a perfectly anomaly-free resin print that doesn't have one of the defects present in the pictures. Those being horizontal lines running across nearly every model on the build plate, albeit not on the same layer height across attempts.

This isn't a suction issue as only one (the biggest) model on the build plate is hollow.

This isn't a support issue as the supports on this latest attempt were anchoring the models so hard they were basically impossible to remove.

This isn't (I don't think) a settings issue as I've gone up down in exposure, nor should it be related to wait times as I'm using 4.5s wait before print.

What I want to know at this point is - am I genuinely expecting way too much and this is just the expected quality? I never see this in prints people showcase but I genuinely don't know if thats just what they don't show? I know in the grand scheme of things there are way worse failures and defects you could possibly deal with but I personally can't look past something like this. It bothers me a lot knowing something is off and trying a myriad of different combinations of possible fixes only to feel like youre chasing an unattainable goal.. that you're pretty damn sure is actually attainable because you've seen it online??

Please. Someone. What am I missing at this point. I'll provide any extra information anyone needs just please help me get to the bottom of this.

Two devices on mesh network not detecting each other

Hey guys, kinda stumped here. I got two cheap wireless xiaomi mesh routers (AC1200) to bridge the connection gap between my pc and 3d printer, for purposes like sending files from pc to printer and monitoring the printing process.

Both my pc and printer show a strong connection to the midpoint node, however when I try to reach my printer from my pc using dedicated software it shows it is offline (it is not, I checked multiple times). This was not an issue when I had my printer situated close enough to my pc to send and monitor files without the need of mesh devices. Is there a setting I'm missing?

I used the xiaomi home app to set everything up, and looking at it on my phone it shows all devices (mobile phone, pc, printer) connected to the system. 2,4ghz is enabled, mode is dynamic ip internet connection.

Sorry if any of this doesn't make sense, I know close to nothing on home networking and a lot of terminology could fly over my head. I just hope it's a simple fix. Thank you!
