I took the new printer for a spin. I am printing some additional Militia bases for the AWI. The first attempt didn't go well. The figure bases came out OK but the movement trays were lost. One completely came off the supports and stuck to the bed. The other came out bent. I have set it up again but without supports this time.
In order to maximize my success, I put a space heater next to the printer to warm the resin. As you can see, it may not have helped. But we will see.
The next attempt was a succeful miniature print. A creator sent me a sample miniature so I could try to print it in 1/100th scale. He sent me a presupported and an unsupported model. The presupported printed beautifully. The unsupported did OK, except for losing a foot.
The third print was more bases and trays. This time I printed them flat. However, It looks like a few layers into the print, the prints shifted a couple of milimeters. While technically, I have two more trays, they are not what I was looking for.
