New printer validation matrix questions
Alright folks. New to printing and I’m in the process of setting up an elegoo mars 5 ultra and I have a few questions.
I’m using wargamer resin and I’ve set my initial parameters in Chitubox as per their baseline idiot proof settings and I’m proceeding to try and dial things in with the photonsters validation matrix. Few questions.
The printer comes with a calibration option that lets me do multiple exposure tests on the same build plate, however the default model size for the test piece is quite large and I can’t fit multiple copies on the plate without reducing the model size. Does reducing the size affect the testing and should I avoid it? How does one use this piece for multi testing.
Chitubox has advanced options for anti aliasing/greyscale/blur. Should I keep these switched off for this calibration test? Furthermore, what is a basic setting I should be using for the greyscale bar and blur in the future.
What are your opinions on the suggested idiot proof settings, specifically the exposure time. Obviously I’m trying to dial things in but having an idea of what other people using this printer and resin combo have found works well would be handy.
Regarding settings, I’m aiming to print small parts for warhammer minis rather than large pieces if that changes anything. For my purposes do I really need to worry about shooting for smaller layer heights or will 0.05 be good?
Thanks.
