Having lots of problems printing this large jig that allows me to rout hinge recesses into door jambs, so I can hang a panel door. Chitubox snip shows how I set up supports and 3mm Z lift on my last print using proven Elegoo Mars Red resin. Other photos show the first failure using Suraya Blu resin which seriously laminated. My theory is that on such a large model, you can't have a sharp change in section and I need to go in and add large blend radii inside the hollow shape. I may also try and do some infill but am not sure if that impedes the drainage of the resin from the hollow sections.
On the red resin print I didn't get beyond the raised platform before the print failed and the only bit beyond that height is the continuing support inside the router bit depth setting pocket.
I have moved the printer twice recently between homes but always in the supplied foam and box. I also have replaced the FEP film and relevelled the bed before these prints. I also greased the leadscrew as it was making unpleasant mechanical noises during levelling. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I am stuck at the moment and am close to resorting to constructing my jig out of wood!
