Powercast Burn Resin - settings?
#1
Question 
Hi. I'm completely new to Resin printers and have been having fun with my Elegoo Mars - which rocks.[Image: biggrin.png]
My main love is metal casting so I've just bought an expensive bottle of Castable Resin. The problem is I can't get it to print. Nothing appears on the build plate or in the resin tank.[Image: confused.png]
I assume I need to change the printer settings. The manufacturers website has details of many printers but not the Mars - https://powerresins.com/blogs/news
Has anyone any experience with this product or can anyone offer me advice on what settings I should try? So far I've guessed at:
Layer height : 0.035
Bottom Layers : 8
Exposure Time : 14
Bottom Exposure : 80
Light Off : 0
Bootom Light Off : 0
Like I say I'm new to this and the above doesn't work.[Image: huh.png]
Thanks in advance.

You might want want to check out the YouTube channel of Peter Grande.  He’s a jeweler who uses castable resin with the Elegoo Mars.

Very useful resource, thanks!  I wonder if that build plate painting trick would work for standard resins as well.
