@@zraal3759 Yea I just downloaded it, it works great not slow or anything. Thanks for the comment, for anyone else using an older comp like myself, lychee seems to work fine I downloaded the 64bit windows version.

I just want to add. Anti aliasing will also change supports that contact the model at an angle. So if you are seeing failures after turning on AA but it was fine before you might need to change your exposure

Smoothing the inside of a hollow model use the Quality slider underneath the hollow 3D thickness movel it up to 2.0 it will smooth the inside of your hollow prints mate! Use the interior/exterior setting over on left to view the inside to place your own inner supports! Hope this helps you out! It would be Nice to help out in return!

Hey thanks for the info. But If I printed with clear resin and the supports inside, The supports inside the models also visible right? how can I remove the supports inside? If u got any technique can u pls share?

I've been printing for a few months and this is definitely one of the better videos on process. Straightforward and not any more complicated than it needs to be

You can right click on the hollownicon in left menu it'll bring up a setting menu that will make the outside see through so you can see the inside of the hollow model amd how thick your walls are ect it's either the hollow icon or one of the top I'll need to jump on mine I was using it yesterday I found all these different hidden like settings!

Either this space in 3d modeling about supporting your own models is super tiny (Not a lot of people) or this video hasn't received it's deserved amount of views and likes yet :) Super awesome dude. Thank you so much for this.

Great guide, I would also recommend to run it trough UVtools to catch on those lose 1 pixel small islands and resin traps to avoid issues on the next prints.

Lychee is a Lifesaver!! Elegoo std resin also works very very well.

Yea elegoo standard isn’t bad either. Usually cheaper too.

About hollowing with the internal Part beeing smooth: you can use Prusa Slicer just for hollow and put holes in the model Better internal part of the model and less islands in places near the holes

Manual supporting are something I have always backed away from but this has been a great help.

My man... your support settings have been my base line since I've watched this video! I really appreciate your humor, and down to earth style...cheers mate! Once I get square...imma join patreon...thanks for helping is newbs out..

Phrozen Water Washable resin is comparable to your solution but in one bottle. It's strong but also has some give and flexibility, which overcomes the brittle problem inherent in a lot of resins.

Excellent video as always. Thanks for taking the time to explain this.

So many supports on the inside makes it really hard to clean. Uncleaned, uncured resin on the inside can lead to cracking. I've seen posts on reddit of people's miniatures basically exploding after over a year because leftover resin slowly pressurized. I only ever put internal supports on internal islands. I also leave holes big enough to snake an ultraviolet LED to cure the insides of hollowed models.

I can say with confidence not a single one of my statues or miniatures have ever cracked and I’ve made at least 1 statue a week for over 3 years. In my first year I made at least 2 a week. 99% of the time cracked prints is linked with water washable resin too I only use standard resins because of exactly that issue

Great tutorial! Thanks!

Awesome video Brent, thank you

Thanks for your knowledge man!

Yeah this ones a keeper, cheers bro.

new shop is looking great

The newest update to lychee allows you to save 6 support presets (at least in pro version) its awesome. Ive learned too that using siraya tech fast navy Grey mixed with obsidian black tenacious(my go to mix) requires beefier supports or it rips off. But it doesnt seem to mar or damage as much from heavys. Though my heavys are basically what ur medium is, then i have an "anchor" setting that is .5tip and a 2.0 stem diameter to hold things down. I tend to keep most stems 1.5 even on lights and just shrink tip size

Good info. Thanks!

What do you do when you can’t get a 10mm magnet/ 10mm hole in the model or even 5mm holes? Is it still possible to do magnets?

New sub, amd totally agree with lychee pro it's a must I think!

Hello, I love your videos, they solve many problems for me, but how do you manage to print with lift distance at 3 mm?

Way to shake it, Your Dad! I use Chitubox non pro, it seems simpler to me.

Do u not fill in the holes so u can't even see them? Also I use a 5% to 10% infill instead for the inside maybe better then just using supports

Those jokes are possibly you might be a little over exposed. I tend to go on the lowest side of exposure to get as much detail as I can and the supports would technically be changing with the exposure too the more exposed the thicker and less the thinner of that makes sense. This is one of the reasons it’s tough to share settings cos there’s so many variables.

Do you not use infill??

Hi Uncle Alg.

I was gonna get lychee, but then your dad told me it will change all of my holes... Now I am afraid.

Algorithm!

lychee looks like it has some really great features. There's two drawbacks, though... 1. you have to create an account with them just to be able to use it. I could provide fake ID, of course, but then there's number 2 - there is no ability to use the slicer without being online afaik. That means that if you have no internet, you ain't slicing. It also brings into question WHY the software needs to phone home, especially if you're using a free version. I like my data and my programs to live with me... call me silly, I know :)

you max out the quality to get the inside of a hollowed print to look nice

Lychee is so worth the few dollars it costs for the Pro version. GET IT & DON'T REGRET IT!
