Hello, i was wondering if anyone had encountered the issue im having.
Should the build plate be moving while an image is being displayed during a print?
my gut says no.. that's bad..
ive had the mars a few weeks and after initial successful results all my prints are failing after printing the skates and a small portion of the supports. so maybe 8 mm .
i have it in another room so im not watching it. but ive started paying more attention and pausing the print to check its working. and I notice the build plate is still moving down when the image is displayed on the screen after about 45 mins of printing.. is this a fault with the machine.. or with my settings? the z-axis does seem stiff at one point low down.. the pole wobbles a bit.. its been sprayed with wd40.
a few days ago i caught a print and it was dropping the build plate a good 1 cm into the vat , i leveled the build plate and made sure the screws were very tight before that print.
i changed the FEP.. but the print fails are the same.
my settings are slower than default. printing using elegoo grey resin.
any advice would be welcome. thank you.
EDIT :- day later. turns out the two screws by the Zaxis had worked themselves loose. tightening them up solved my problem.
