Hey Don, I like the fact that you printed what you supported and showed us both with supports attached fresh off the build plate and after. A lot of YTbers don't do that.
Excellent, I'm glad you found the video useful. I'm still using Lychee and the auto-supports are even better now, especially on the 'Real' scan setting.
Thanks for the tutorial. I really needed to see a proven process from start to finish. I would be interested to see where in the process hollowing and drain/suction cup holes/vents would be dealt with for a model that required it
I’m brand new to the resin printer world I have a anycubic mono and I was wondering if you removed the supports before or after curing and which is better? New subscriber here because I just added a bunch of new things to my skill set. Thank you
Hello jack0cat. Most people remove the supports before curing. It generally causes less damage to the model that way. I always remove them before. Some people also soak the model/supports in some warm water (after cleaning) to loosen them up a bit. If you try this make sure that your model is very dry before curing. It can leave an ugly white residue if you don't.
@@jack0cat ALWAYS before curing. My process is 10 seconds in acetone and then straight into hot water. Lychee supports come off VERY easy in the hot water. Then allow your print to fully dry. Then cure. Then sand.
I wish I could automatically add thinner supports in proportionally more, so the load is distributed more evenly, no manual spacing has to be done, and thin supports are much easier to remove. I've already tried super-thin supports, I just poke them anywhere and it works just fine. I'm tired of adding them manually tho
Hi Don, this is a very helpful vid. I wonder how you manage to prevent light supports from snapping off the object? You showed changed sizes of those supports, but is there anything else that needs to be done? Thank You. 😀
I have to ask you...what is your lift speed. Lots of light supports. My light supports like to fail. I'm assuming it's the suction force because I messed with my lift speed and forgot what I had it at before when I was using lights lol

Youre like the Mitch Hedberg of 3D Printing.
You can never really have too much support.
I'm new to resin printing, your tutorial was a fantastic help/lesson. thank you
Just taught me some things, thank you and most importantly I seriously need to focus on supports more
Thanks Don. Good video. I have just moved to Lychee and I also have a Mono X
You just taught me so much about supports. Thank you a lot my friend.

Found the video on Reddit. Extremely helpful, and detailed! Thank you so much
You're welcome. I'm glad people are finding this video useful.

I dunno what this is but it looks fascinatingly crazy
Thnak you for taking the time to do these videos, good information. Cheers!

Interesting video, I've learnt a few tips along the way. What's the kitty's name? Mine is called "D" for short.
We call here Peanut. She likes to remind me to stop working and come play - about every 7 or 8 minutes. :)

Thank Lord! your my savior ! :)
i also have Photon Mono X! a beast of a printer
Great.. thanks a lot
how do you duplicate supports for internal supports?
Shift doesnt work as on exterior
