!!!ALERT!!! - Pro-owners with build-plate adhesion issues

[cliffyk]

These are the settings with which I have had best results. on my plain ol' Mars:



At less than 9 s per layer (even @ 8 s) I had problems with the hangers¹ breaking off the main body of the print. I also cut back to 5 bottom layers at 60 s each. I don't know if the "translation layer" stuff² works with the Mars, but it cannot hurt to turn it on.

-------------------------------------------------
¹- "supports" as Chitubox calls them, but as we print "upsde down" they are really hangers, loaded in tension.

pipe support--holds pipe above a mounting surface, full containment of ("adhesion" to) pipe to support not necessary--gravity and other forces do that


pipe hanger--suspends pipe below a mounting surface, must contain ("adhere" to) the suspended pipe against gravity/other forces


² - As I understand it the translation layer function is supposed to shift exposure in a linear fashion, during the bottom to "regular" layer transition--I.e. if set to 3 layers translation layer 1 would be exposed for 47.25 s (60 - (60-9) / 4), the next for 34.5 s, and a last transition layer for  21.75 s. What is unclear to is if the translation layers are in addition to the "bottom layer" setting count (I.e. 5 layers + 3 translation layers), or part of that count (5 layers, 3 of which are "translation" layers. Someday I need to time the bottom layers as they print and sort that out.
