I use the Resin XP2 - and your 2 comparison examples are actually rather easy to read / decide which one is better - when you held them atop each other, the upper one had way less clogged grooves and less elephant feet at the contact points. There are no real "support" tests. If supports wor, of not, always depends on the ratio of supports vs. the weight and suction forces of a model. There will always be models that won't print with the pre-supports. I currently have a whole KS project that is more or less ruined by bad supports and bad actual file quality - the models look good (on the surface), but don't print well due to issues with the files themselves. You're fine, if you over-expose. a tuned printer won't print the minis well.

My kingdom to somebody who can print that fifth row of columns without them becoming spider webby 🧐

Hahahaha, thank you for testing, sorry for my lack of explanation. It simply fail or success print. The point is, use the lowest exposure to successfully print the model with all the column connect to the top part, to achieve the lowest exposure you can use to print your model so you can get the best detail, and hopefully less fail. So it can help beginner to have success print and gain confidence, rather than confuse to decide which are the best print result from comparing too much exposure. I design it based on printing with many object shape and sizes from minis to mechanical part and it can survive minimal 0.3mm support tip as anchor and 0.1mm support for fine detail. I have to agree, many people tell me they also like to use it to check bed level, so i guess 1 stone 2 birds? LOL

Fep wear and condition definitely is one of those, as well as lift speeds. This is why vroom settings can affect the outcome as they can greatly increase torque on the contact points for the supports.

I know I'm late but if you are not sure what to look for on a test, FAIL IT ON PURPOSE a couple of times and see what happens. Print one underexposed by quite a bit and print one that is overexposed quite a bit. This should exaggerate the effects for each problem and now you know what to look for. And the great thing about this is that you only need to do this once for each kind of test since your not really dialing your printer, just understanding what a test is looking for.

The Denny’s Wang test is basically you print, decrease time and keep doing that until it fails. Once you hit the failing point, you just go back to the previous print time and use that. Pretty simple and straightforward. Failures also include bent horizontal parts.

dennys wang's exposure tester is essentially a "supports" test. So, all you really need is to print the XP2 validation matrix alongside this exposure tester. Both are low profile and hence, prints fast, and does not take up much resin. Not a fan of overly complicated "tall" tests. I find that they take longer than necessary to print, and waste too much resin.

Amazing video man. Got a subscription outta me ❤

Know what I'd like to see, though I know this probably wouldn't make for a very useful test print, would be one that could double as a useful greeble. For those of you that might not know, a 'greeble' is a model builder term for any interesting bit of detail you can add to a model build to make it look more interesting. An example would be, if you make a building for a sci-fi table-top game, but add something like a vent or a control panel to the side to make it look more interesting. The bit you add is a greeble. I noticed that some of the test prints you showed (especially the flat ones) could almost double as a greeble, but they all seemed to have things like logos or big obvious text that make it clear it's just a test print. It would be neat to design a few test prints, perhaps a few that each test one or two different things, that could also pass as greebles. That way, you could constantly check your printer AND produce parts for a build.

Yeah, or scatter. Something like a sci-fi hatch or a fantasy crate, etc. Even a status marker set would be a good idea. (of course, then parties will end up getting status effects put on them so the GM can show off his new printer tests!) A chest of loot could make for small details, and furniture could push the support tests. Lamps posts would also be a nice scatter. Campfire with fish hanging from strings on a drying rack? An evergreen tree could really contain a lot of deep testing. Did these needles print & stay distinct or lump together? (could be printed as 2 halves if that made the test better, then you can glue the halves together after).

Excellent and very helpful video. Quite frankly I have been 3D printing for over a year now and am only feeling ready to play with this now.

I didn't want to spend weeks learning all the ins and outs and calibrating the printer. I am actually glad I did just dive in and start printing. I got quite a few failed prints but I learned a lot while still getting minis for my table. Now, I am finally ready to get more serious about it and play with this. If I knew someone who was getting started, I would recommend they just start printing and playing, do this stuff later once they have had a little fun and experience with their printer.

Failing prints isn't fun (having watched so many fdm people struggle in the beginning) My resin experience was much better. I did 3-4 siraya exposure tests until i started getting noticeable flaws (but no total part failures), then backed off a little and started printing safer minis. If I was teaching someone new, I'd preface that a 'calibration test' is _designed to push your machine to fail,_ but gets you to settings succeed real prints quickly. So think of it as part of initially setting up the machine, bolt this here, put that there, make sure settings are ok. Then recommend they do the cones of calibration for 1-4 prints to quickly get a rough exposure calibration. After that, suggest it's preferred to print a few _higher detail support-free minis,_ so they have something almost impossible to fail but also get to see how nice a resin printer is vs their friend's fdm quality (not knocking, but we bought resin printers for a reason, right?) That should set them up well to dive into more risky parts and already have taught them how to handle if they do get some failures.

Flat tests make you feel like you're playing one of those 'spot the difference between these 2 pictures' games. While some people can get good results out of them I've seen so many people say they've dialed in their resin with the XP2 and are using very wrong settings because they've read it wrong, or have a setting on that's throwing off the results(AA or transition layers for example)

Bingo! Glad to see someone else had the same experience. Thanks for the comment!

A very understated issue with printer settings is that it is affected by temperature and humidity. There is too much focus on just the resin and printer and it leads people to think they can just find a settings spreadsheet and blindly follow that. We are dealing with chemistry here and that is affected by more than just the materials and time. I rarely ever hear people talk about temperature or humidity.

Oh my god, the pun with the Patreon "supports" fucking killed me. Well delivered, too! I'm in tears from laughing!

My 1st Calibration print was the XP2 matrix, my eye sight isn't so good these days and i found this test difficult to read, it also allowed me to run several levels beyond optimal and get what appears to be a result. I then printed a ROOK Test piece and a baby Yoda! both turned out nice. I had issues trying to print my own projects, probably supports! i found TableFlip Foundry via a recording of a live stream about supports (i don't print minis so understanding support for anything but is limited) Next i tried the Cones of Calibration, this left me with no doubt that i am about there. As luck would have it, it showed same setting as XP2 test but XP2 was luck really plus i had to get second opinions. Next i did the Ameralabs test, i wasn't going to be adjusting setting from this as such. Mainly i wanted to see the result. It printed well at my exposure but i feel if i were trying to set up from this test i would struggle. It was great to see the print as it should be and to see my print that i am confident is good. My go to is the Cones of Calibration, at my current exposure i got 5 full cones of success and 2 half cones on the fail. taking my exposure down by point 2 left me with 2 success cones, a test with the wang test at point 4 under my cones left me with a fail one square on the build and 1 square on the fep!

Thanks for the great video. I've tried a couple of those from the list before. The cones of calibration seemed like a great and easy to understand concept, but unfortunately the results I was getting were super inconsistent and weird. Sometimes upping the exposure actually produced reverse results of what is expected (the success side failing) and vice versa.... On some resins it worked better and more consistent with the expected, but on others it was just mostly random success / fail. I tried tweaking other parameters besides the exposure time to see if those made any difference, and also made sure the the build platform was perfectly level and the fep sheet perfectly clear, but in my experience with some resins - this concept is just not applicable, since the results are very random and unpredictable. I will try the starship test from your list, looks really interesting and easier to interpret, at least for me.... btw, currently I am using Elegoo Saturn, but I plan switching to Phrozen Mighty 8k relatively soon.

Me too! other models are consistent with my exposure times but somehow the cones of calibration is not even close to that. It tends to never print the leftmost side, but even so other models print really good with that exposure

For me the exposure test of UV tools is the first part, it's a flat test but it does a range of different exposure times. Most of the tests in the video need to be in the proper exposure time range, so if you have a total unknown resin you didn't know where to start. Con: this test is a little bit difficult to set-up. If i have te proper range i still proof the settings with some of the tests from the video, didn't have a favorite.

Hey man I personally find the Armera lab calibration to be the best since you get the most accurate information as well as multiple failure detection the only issue i fond with your printing was that you actually overexposed your print by having all 5 pillars print out (you can see this in the checkerboards as well) you are supposed to get at least 4 pillars standing (the 4th row can be slightly limp) and the 5th is an over exposure indicator but overall good video.

Great video! I just got an Anycubic 6k 2 weeks ago and yeah, I need help cause all my prints are not good and I don't know why

Cones of Calibration is definitely mini prints ONLY, validated this with 25-30C temp resin and "overexposed" according to CoC. Anything over 250g would fail with heavy supports, upping exposure time despite working on other printers etc. Warhammer minis it works great.

For the Starship, I did a sweep of exposures and I can't get the super small gears near the back to come out as sharp as yours. Is this because your printer is better, or I still need to play with my settings? I have Elegoo Jupiter (51um pixel size) with Thermal VatBand to regulate it at 25C.

the ameralabs test would be good for the common person for resin tests if say you think you got a bad batch. The anycubic R_E_R_F test tho is good for testing supports as well.

My favorite calibration test: a humble 10mmx10mmx10mm cube. (Often set to 5mm height to save time) It's so simple to measure with calipers and understand what you need to do to the exposure. After that is dialed in the cones of calibration to test tensile strength and that tells me how many and what size of support I need.

@@zacharytilden7440 In the case of the cube if you measure it with calipers and it's smaller than 10x10 on the x and y then you're under exposing and need to increase your exposure time. If it's larger than 10x10 then you're over exposing and need to bring the time down. In other words, the more the resin gets exposed, the more it blooms out. If you ever print directly on the build plate, you can see an example of this with how the first burn in layers are typically much larger than the normal layers. Using this method of testing, you can also use the cube to calibrate the scale compensation setting so printing on the build plate while remaining dimensionally accurate is possible. I wouldn't suggest printing non-test models on the build plate normally unless you have a magnetic build surface so it is easy to remove. After you dial the cube in to be dimensionally accurate, the cones are kind of like a test on what your supports might do depending on the resin you're using. Some resins perform differently than others and you might need larger supports or more supports to be able to stay attached due to tensile strength.

hi 3D printed table top hopefully u see this...... just wondering im looking into 3d prinitng will i need ventilation for pla printers?

Thanks I have recently started 3d printing my likeness sculpts and I have 70-80 % successful rate ..failure are mostly lack of adhesion to build palate

Which test would you recommend to combat horizontal lines? Keep getting bad lines, I’m figuring it’s my poor support knowledge. I just auto support and add a few here and there

I've stuck my printer in a tiny room with a space heater to keep temperature at about 85 F but even then on prints with a .9m wall they seem to break off? The resin might just be too brittle TBH. So it's been a juggling act of keeping prints lightweight and not sticking to the bed.

nice, just got the same printer working

I just found this video, so please excuse my late comment. How does the Anycubic RERF (Resin Exposure Range Finder) compare to these tests?

I noticed when you combine the table flip foundry and the starship on one print with the same exposure setting, I noticed that the table flip foundry wants a lower exposure setting and the starship wants a little more. When I printed the table flip foundry with little of the failure side as possible and all on the success side the starship had no small hammers printed which conflicts with the starship's guide where they say all 11 including the small hammers should print. I will test with a couple Arch Vilnian Games and Heros Infinite presupported models to confirm which test is the more appropriate.

CNC mill a negative die to put these prints in and see if it fits perfectly. 100% reproducible consistency using subtractive manufacturing. the die can be milled from clear plastic or aluminum. or have the manufacturer 3D print a calibration die that they themselves make with 100% accuracy to place your calibration model in.

Hey, can you please share me Resin setting of 8K Aqua-Grey resin for Sonic Mini 8k? I saw your previous video where you compared 8k and 4k resins, where you said you had tested the resin settings a lot to find a perfect setting. It would save me a whole day of finding perfect exposure. Thank you for your videos and your time.

what causes warping and bending/ floppy is it not enough support temperature?

Hi. What slicer are talking about, 2 min into the video? //Daniel Sweden

Gread vid!

Thank you so much, I am also, a 3D printing DM

What’s a good calibration test for large models?

If the holes on the xp finder get clogged up and filled in with resin does that mean I am overexposing?

One question, would it be better to start with a baseline that someone has set on that specific printer model or sort of follow the instructions on the resin itself?

I think it’s always better to start with a baseline if you’ve seen a physical print of it. If no baselines online, start with the resin itself.

Came here after a total failure of the Cones (Mono X 6k + Resione M58 using their suggested settings). Off to try some flat prints for a sanity check. In the meantime ... subbed!

Hi, member of the Tableflipfoundry team here. Would you describe your issue with the cones? We do also have a discord server for all troubleshooting and provide advice to get you started. The link is posted above and on our website.

@@crazmadsci3806 I'm pretty sure it was entirely with the lift/retract speed given by Resione. They suggested 3 and 4 mm/s. I knocked those down to 2 and 3 and got some clean 2d prints. I have the cones and the spaceship going right now.

I'll also say that I used the cones for the Anycubic basic model resin and I was very happy with the results. Very easy to see and haven't had a problem with that since using it

@@Grstearns yes we are aware that vroom settings or fast lift speeds are an area of trouble with the cones. We are currently in development of an improved test that you can test with vroom speeds. For the test I've seen most people have success with 1mm/s or 60mm/min.

Thanks for the info. I bought the ANYCUBIC Photon Mono 4K. One of the pictures shows printing time drastically reduced from previous model and that it can print models with a height of 12cm in about 2.4 hours. Concerning the print time, this IS NOT TRUE. My models are from LOOT and are already setup. I also use Lychee to check for errors. A 72mm (7.2cm) figurine takes over 10 hours. A tiny model takes around 5 hours. It would take over a year to print the models I have. I am so frustrated. I am going to try the Cones of Calibration.

Surprised you didn't mention the UV tools test. It uses like 25ml of resin, takes 10 mins and you can run multiple exposures on the one print. Slice Print Roleplay did a really in-depth vid on it.

hi i liked your video to much.can you send me the best settings of bluecast X ONE resin on SM8K plz
