Cutting Model Missing a Part

I'm trying to split this model down the middle to print it at a better angle on my resin printer, and to try and keep supports off the main model as the hair is really hard to sand/clean.

I just started learning Blender for this project. I have done this successfully on another part of the model - same reason, bed size. It worked very well, I'm super happy with how its going to come back together!

I got to the point where it's supposed to split and this happend - it splits the main model but does not split the crown. The crown does not show as a separate part on import, and prior to split, it's all one black shaded mass.

I added Rotate and Scale, set the geometry to Origin, added and moved the plane, added Solidify to the plane and made it thin, and then added Boolean-Difference with the plane as the object of division.

I'm not even sure how to phrase a Google search for this - I'm sure I need to merge something?

Thanks!

Exercise and The Sweats - Any Tips?

I've been on Effexor now for a couple of years and it works really well for me. I don't seem to get the night sweats but I do sweat a TON doing more than usual during the daytime. Like I was in my garage putting together IKEA furniture and I was drenched. I do resin printing and I get gross when I've had the gloves and respirator on too long.

This, I can handle.

The problem is I NEED to start working out, I'm putting on weight because of a number of factors (stress, menopause) but I get so uncomfortable when I start to drip. Anyone have any tips to get through a workout - running, biking, Dance Dance Revolution, lifting - and and leave a puddle on the floor??

Error Code - Help!

I’m not printing from an SD card, I’m printing from a usb drive. Printer is not on the network. The print seemed okay, finished, was thin but it was a box I’d messed with dimensions on in the slicer so that’s prolly the issue there. Used Qidi studio as my slicer. Printing with ABS.

Thanks!

Cones of Calibration

I did a test yesterday, needed to turn up the exposure time which I did, and re-leveled the axis, and things are looking good. Cones look fine, water fits, sword fits or does not fit as appropriate. Only thing not coming out on both of these is that the attunement block is only like 5.8 mm where it should be 6mm. I'm not sure how to dial in that last .2 on the Z-axis?

I have a new resin I will need to do this with so want to get this figured out.

Very Close To Getting This - Missing Little Things

I feel like I'm so so close to getting this. My models adhere nicely to the bed, and don't have major failures. I'ms doing great with small stuff so I'm moving on to these bigger pieces and now I want to get closer to "perfect."

This is Anycubic Standard Gray on the default settings recommended by the company.

I'd posted this model earlier but upon getting ready to clean and prime, I'm missing a lot of little things. I don't know why the stand printed bubbled like it did - I hollowed it out with the intent of putting heavy stuff in it but maybe I just need to print it solid? I know it's a lot of resin but it also needs to be heavy to stand the thing up. I was also worried about large areas and the FEP.

Wanda's hair is a MESS. Do I need to re-orient the model to hide the supports better? If I print it vertical upside down it seems like most of the support hits along the hairline where is will be hidden.

I'm not thrilled with the tiny crack in her skirt but I'm hoping maybe when I prime and paint that will disappear? Obs not using a heave filler primer here, looking at the light stuff for minis so as not to lose the texture.

I was so excitd earlier but when I sat down to start the next steps today, I have to admit I was a little bummed. It's a learning experience, right?

eMate Battery Connector Replacement

I'm working on rebuilding the battery pack for my eMate. I got new cells from the baby monitor that comes basically drop in, but when I went to re-solder the connector, the wires are corroded all the way up to the connector to the board. I'll need to push the wires out to salvage the thermistor but I'll need a new white bit to hook it to the board. I'm sure it's a legacy part but I don't even know what to ue as a search string for it! What do I want to look for besided "5-hole tiny battery connector?"

How To Extract STL Of My Guardian

I've Googled and there doesn't seem to be a lot of recent information on this one. WIth the game going into maintenence mode, I'd like to get a copy of my character's model of 3D print and paint as a token of the best game I ever played.

I played with the charactermodel<dot>gallery page but it does not seem to support helmet off models, which is what I want - my Guardian in the Parade armor set but no helmet. I'm on a Mac so I can't go through Steam (Unless I dig out the 2012 dual boot Mac Pro I dabbled in playing the PC version on.)

Is there a more modern way to do this? Something with Blender?

Scarlet Witch - My First Real Print!

This is just dry fit, obs needs some sanding to fit the arms right. I remembered I had a failed print that I can transplant her finger over from. Also prolly gonna run the base on the FDM since it's just a round texutred disc. But with your excellent tutelage, I'm hooked! Need to order primer and paint. Need to find a primer that won't fill in the lovely texture on her clothes!

Thanks for all you help on this! I am hoping to find a nice movie Captain Marvel and I have my eyes on a Mara Sov (Destiny) model. I kinda wish I could export my Guardian from Destiny and make a model of her. ;;

Need To Add Details

So following up on my earlier post I'm still losing one finger from the print no matter how many supports I use etc. So rather than waste a ton of resin, I can for sure with my skills just add a tiny piece of resin and gently file it down to be the last finger. Can I use my ABS sprue goo for this or do I need to make some sort of resin version of sprue goo?

Household Items That Can Store UV Resin

I have recently gotten into resin printing, but some of the pieces I am making need some finishing (sealing end caps) at my workbench. I'd like to keep a small suppy in that area instead of having to try and syringe out of the big bottle. I also don't want to buy a million small bottles when I only need one. Is there something in the house or some hack I can use (dark paint, etc) that will let me keep a little vial of resin handy? I miss film cameras, the little black canisters would have been perfect.

Losing Fine Details Like Fingers

I've graduated from prototyping plotter pens to printing figures to paint. I'm working on a lovely Wanda but I've now printed her arms twice and twice she has come out with missing fingers. I'm using Standard Anycubic Resin on a Photon Mono, settings and plate layout attached. Should I change the angle of the print? The legs look great and the torso I might do again, I have a lot of scars from the supports but I know what I did wrong.

To Hollow Or Not To Hollow

I just downloaded a lovely Scarlet Witch figure that I want to print, and now I have come to the grand question of hollowing. It's going to end up being about 7 inches tall when I get done (I have to print at 50% of the actual file, I think it's made for either FDM or really big resin printers)

I can hollow it in the slicer but there is no hole for the resin to come out of. I'm using Anycubic Photon Worskhop, is there a punch hole tool I can't find, or will I have to drill the parts at the end? Or shuld I just print solid at that size?

Wax Filters in Wax-Prone Ears

My dad just got the Philips aids from Costco and we found out that he makes a LOT of wax. Like clogged the filter after 3 days a lot of wax. Is there anything we can do to prolong the life of the active filters? I do think he was being to gentle with the aids at first but I think they should last longer than that?

Also as Costco is a bit of a drive is there anywhere else to get the filters?

Photon Workshop Can't Import Resin Profile

I just downloiaded the Siraya Tech profile file for the Tencious Flex resin, but when I click "Import Resin" to import the file it is grayed out in my file window. it is a .pwsp file, is that the correct format? It looks like it wants me to put it in the app as a new printer, not just a selectable resin under my current printer?

Craft Resin vs Printer Resin - Any Weird Interactions?

It was suggested in an earlier post that in order to seal up some pens I am working on I get some of the craft resin with a flashlight and I like this idea! After some research it seems like the craft resin is a little more fluid and will flow into the small cracks better. The only question I have is that if printer resin cures at 405nm and the craft resins seem to cure at 395nm, is that going to cause any weird reactions between the two? Thanks in advance!

Need Help With Revision Of Old Model

I did this model when I was first starting out with OnShape and I cannot for the life of me figure out what the heck I did, only that I did it wrong. I'm in a place where I need to change the size of the indicated hole - it was fine on FDM but resin is much more precise and it's a hair too large. It's grayed out so I know it's getting a dimension from somewhere else BUT it is its own sketch so I can't figure out where? What did neophyte me do that is so wrong/should have been done better? I'm looking at the revision history but I cannot pinpoint the problematic add!

Printer vs. Curing Station Lights

Anycubic Mono setup - I wanted to use some liquid resin and a paintbrush to seal an end cap. I painted the end and put it in the curing station for like 15 minutes and it's still quite sticky.

I assume the light in the curing station is different than the UV in the printer. Can I use a clean empty vat for its FEP and set a pen body on that, then run the UV test cycle for a minute to cure that seal? Is that safe or am I risking my FEP or my lamp?

Thanks!

Update on Pen Plotter Print - I Think I'm Addicted To Resin Printing!!!!

Update on last post since I can't put the pic in the reply (sadness.)

It printed great! I may have overcooked it in the cure station (10 minutes was a bit much?) It fits in the pen holder perfectly, and the only problem is that I need a tiny bit of sanding on the end cap and the tiny lip on the end cap did not print. I am going to ink-test it here in a bit, hopefully unlike the FDM pens, the ink will not seep into the plastic.

Follow-up Q: what is the smallest detail I can likey get on an Anycubic Mono? The end should have a 1mm inner rim to help position it. ALso can I get away with no support in the little tube where the nib goes or do I need a tiny needle sander to clean it?

Newbie - Orientation Check

The larger bit is hollow, the smaller bit is the end cap. It's a pen body for a vintage pen plotter. This is my first self-made resin print!

Anycubic Mono with Anycubic clear resin. Standard Anycubic Workshop settings for it.

Anything I need to change on the orientation?
