¶ Introduction
In cold weather, the viscosity of the resin tends to increase and its fluidity decreases due to low temperature. This can lead to printing failures, such as the supports detaching from the model or the base layer peeling away and failing to adhere to the build plate.
¶ Tips for Printing
¶ Print in a warmer environment
The optimal ambient temperature for resin printing is between 25 and 35 °C. If the ambient temperature drops below 20 °C, prints may fail.
It is therefore recommended to place the printer in an environment with an ideal temperature.
¶ Preheat the resin before printing
Before printing, preheat the resin in water at around 60 °C. The resin's viscosity and fluidity can be restored by heating it to a temperature between 30 and 40 °C.
¶ Re-set the printing parameters
Taking Saturn 3 Ultra and Vanilla 8K ABS-Like 3.0 as examples, adjust the parameters including Exposure Time, Wait Before Cure and Lift Distance.
¶ Increase the bottom layer exposure time by 5 seconds
¶ Increase the normal layer exposure time by 0.5 seconds
¶ Increase the Wait Before Cure Time and Lift Distance
¶ Decrease the Lift Speed and Retract Speed
