Fucked up my prints last night forgot to fully tighten the base plate and they shifted so everything randomly moved forward about a quarter of the way through.
Tonight went better. More nerd shit this resin printer will basically only be printing nerd shit. Still want to figure out how to heat better. But I made an exhaust that vents out the window.
I'm thinking reptile heating pad on the bottom of the enclosure or a beer fermentation heating belt around the vat that holds the resin. May go reptile pad cause buddy has one he doesn't use. Enclosure has a thermometer too.

And we’re off. Once I figured out the SD card goes in up side down, she is doing work. Thank you guys for the recommendation. This thing is fucking awesome. I think I am going to get a set up for carbon fiber stuff when I get good enough and start printing my own stuff.
im really digging the new models hitting the market. makes me want to buy a second one to leave stock so I can keep a working printer going 
I am genuinely blown away how easy this was to set up and get rolling. I am by no means a tech guy, so this is blowing my mind right now. I never thought this type of cool tech would be this available in my lifetime.
I am too, thats why I want to get another
in the couple years, it seemed to have improved drastically
Thoughts on what to sell my other fdm printer at? Or where lol?
I figure fb is the easiest, but idk if I have the mental fortitude to try to sell there.
Prusa mini+ with a few spools.
Technically the piece that holds the pinda sensor is broken but I printed a replacement and just never put it on cause it was still printing correctly.
New pre assembled is like 450 with a month lead time. I was thinking 300 with the spools included.

Haven't printed anything too big yet. Still looking into what's all involved with printing hollow things. You have make drainage holes in the models and you have to be able to cure inside.
Which is funny cause fdm was all about reducing infill and everything I've printed in resin so far was essentially 100% infill
I am having some problems want an opinion or three. I have been trying to use my Sovol SV04 with PLA and it just doesn't seem to work. I've got the printer set up in an enclosure, I've printed PLA with it before (I thought, it's been a while I typically lean ABS) and I've been having a problem where it just suddenly stops extruding. The extruder seems to have tons of "grab" (see below) and I've even had a fucking pretzel of PLA inside my extruder. I've changed the nozzle and replaced the PTFE in the extruder with Capricorn (the old stuff looked fine, but since I do ABS why not) as well at this point to no avail and tried 3 PLAs, 2 Hatchbox and one Sovol one of the PLAs was even new white PLA. I'm going to throw some esun PLA+ in to see what happens, then try ABS that failing. This is driving me fucking batty, maybe I should try opening the enclosure up to reduce the overall internal temperature? I can tell you the fans don't seem to impress me, it's a direct driven extruder and the cooling parts seem different than say the MK6 stuff I typically use on my SV01.
PLA is typically the easiest to print, doesnt require as high of temp as ABS. Im not familiar with that printer, but does it show your print head temp? Could have a bad heater that is not getting the nozzle up to temp. Have you verified the settings didnt got skewed? Looks like its not up to temp before trying to feed the filament.
Fired up my ender for the first time since April today to print some stupid small stuff. Swung by microcenter yesterday to grab some more PLA +.
Anyone have any luck finding a raspberry pi? I want to get an octoprint setup going. Best I can tell they’ve been out of stock for a while.
