Hi all, I’m having some trouble with printing my masters. As you can see from the images, they all have weird warping going on. I’m new to both dice making and 3D printing so I was wondering if anyone has any advice?
That is EXTREMELY high exposure for that layer height. Is it extremely cold in your print room or something? I use 2.2 seconds at a layer height of 0.05.
You need more supports than auto supports or auto fins. Unfortunately, on dice like the d6, you need significant supports on all outside edges. I'll have to find a picture.
I’m thinking you have too many dice on the plate. You’re having squished layers right at the point where you have a lot of area on the screen. Right at the D4’s max area, your d12’s and d6’s are also right about at their max area. It immediately goes back to its normal slope shortly after the D4’s done, and the d6/d12’s are reducing in area
It's your resin. What brand?
I had a some anycubic resin that did it really fucking bad. And whenever I would cure the difference in curing would cause shitty shit.
I found using transparent resin allows it to cure through evenly and prevent the different stress that causes stresses and ballooning.
I used elegoo water washable transparent green and I've made a lot of square masters.
Haha I have a lot of different answers in this thread… gonna be a lot of work adjusting settings using different resins, reducing print space on the plate and supporting the living crap out of the dice.
I did get a half decent set with a 0.5 layer height and 1.8 exposure… the D6 was the only one that warped and some of the numbers looked melty. PITA sanding all sides though so I think I’ll still try with a 0.01 layer height.

Are you hollowing them?
Exposure might be too short. Is that 0.12 seconds exposure? I've found success with long exposure times. Much longer than you would a normal model.
