Warning: Liquid resin on skin burns!

Burns as in hot, or burns as in, "spicy!"?

Actually, burns as in "How the hell did I cut myself?? and the resin got into the cut.

Ouch! Talk about putting salt in the wound.

Well, first print. With an 8x magnifier, I see no layer lines. pretty nice!

Yes, indeed.
My Voxel is pretty nice, and the Benchy that I printed is pretty good, but not that good.

Probly not. Lol. Like i said. No visible layer lines. The Elegoo slicing software is laggy so far all kinda tricky to figure out...

Small part, showing great detail.


REALLY nice feature that resin has Vs FDM printers. I initially only had the tall model, 8hr print time. I added 2 more and STILL the SAME print time!! It's pretty nice that the only thing that would increase the printing time is making the print taller!

[Chris Savage]

Very cool!

What is that "small part" that you show in your first picture?

Well, I've used the Mars Ultra 4 for a few prints now, inc. one big part that BARELY and I do mean BARELY!!, fit inside the print area, and I am pretty impressed with how easy it is to use, minus when I attemted to fit that big part into the post processing for curing. Had to rig it up. Wasn't easy, but so far, no issues at all. Just a bit messy when cleaning up. I always dump resin back in bottle n wash the vat and print surface up before calling it done.  I just printed 2 brackets for my Neptune 2 printers to mount BLTouch or similar touch sensor. Thinking about a kit from Amazon, bout $35-$40. Creality, similar sensor, but has metal non replace probe vs plastic. Downside is Creality's CR Touch I'd need extra cable to attach to my printer.  Found a video on putting it on.

Just gotta watch it n figure it out.

Is that Amazon kit for an auto-leveling option for the Neptune 2? One of the troubles that I had with my Neptune 2 is trying to get it leveled - it is a royal pain to get the screws set right. If I recall correctly, I saw something about an option for auto-leveling, but my memory is not that trustworthy for something from 2¹/₂ years ago.

Do you have a link to that kit? Does it give all the parts needed for the leveling option, or does it require more?

I just finished watching the video. It looks easy enough, and I'm not sure that I share his concerns about the auto-leveling on the Neptune 2.

If that Amazon kit of yours is cheap enough, I may buy one when I get back to working with my Neptune 2.

Pretty much, from what I understand anyhow, is any touch sensor, the documentation said BLTouch, though the Creality CR is a direct replacement, just need the sensor, wiring ext, screws, and the mounting brackets can be printed from files in their webaite.  I know gotta do little work in firmware n update it. I got watch video, but touchless I am going to look into and try.
