Got an anycubic resin printer and I’m using their high speed resin (because it was bundled for free), and i tried to send a file using the high speed setting.

After the print it was seemed to be ok, then after i left in a bath of ethanol (IPA can’t be found in stores in my country) i got all those holes.

What’s the problem?

A slicer problem? The ethanol bath? The high speed resin that’s not good?

    Ethanol should be fine to use as far as I know. Do the holes go all the way through? If so your screen might have dead spots. You can visually inspect the screen by setting it to do a test exposure without the resin tank on it to check. Also obviously check that your tank doesn’t have any failed print bits stick to the sheet.

      visual inspection of test exposure is ok, and then the vat is brand new so the sheet was immaculate

        Is this the first print you’ve done with it? Have you done any exposure calibration with this resin?

          first print with the printer and first print with resin in my life

          The manual didn’t mention the exposure calibration at all…

            It’s probably under exposed then. Something like this and this will help you tune your slicer settings. You might need to play with other settings if you have other issues, but most of the time the exposure settings will be the problem with new resins.

              Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

      To clarify: the issue is that the bad 3d moddel leaves you with very thin walls which get destroyed during the wash

        the slicer said the model needed a repair (which it did), but then it also does this with other stuff. Later I try with a profile with more exposure time

          I see, but that just makes me want to blame the model even more.

          What can happen if you repair a bad model is that intersecting faces are merged in a way that leads to voids on the inside of your model. If that’s the case it’s really hard to fix for somebody who doesn’t have experience with pointcloud based 3d modeling.

          Please print something that you know is “good”, like the official 3d benchy. I’m almost certain it won’t have the holes that you’re experiencing on your part.

          Edit: do you have a link to the moddel? Then I can confirm for you whether the problem is with the mesh or not.

            It was the resin. Once I bought a resin from another brand, it printed perfectly

            It really puzzles me why they would bundle 2 kg of low quality “high speed” resin that isn’t even able to correctly print the test files…

              Wow okay, definitely unexpected, but I’m glad you figured it out!

              Maybe the reseller just wanted to get rid of bad stock?
