The warrior’s right arm is missing completely and a part of the shield is damaged
There are
two main reasons
(and a third, less common one) why printed objects have missing
parts and they both usually come down to incorrect slicing settings:
a) Lack of supports
Please check the
6.5 Slicing objects for the SL1S
chapter to learn how to correctly position an
object and generate supports for it. Keep in mind that
parts of the object cannot start mid-air
and that the printer has a threshold for overhangs.
Solution:
Improve the supports in PrusaSlicer, re-slice the object and try printing it again. If the
problem persists,
try printing a sample object
and see if the problem is still present. If it is, there
might be a problem with the printing display or UV LED panel. See online troubleshooting at
to learn more.
b) Incorrect exposure times
If you set
incorrect exposure times
(especially too low times), the resin will not have enough time
solidify, which may result in missing details. Always make sure you’re using recommended
exposure times for your prints.
Solution:
Make sure you are using exposure times recommended for the resin of your choice.
c) Faulty hardware
Another possibility (a less common one) is that your
print display or UV LED panel is faulty,
so
either the mask is incorrectly displayed or only a part of the object is cured by UV light. Please
refer to the Hardware troubleshooting section at
to learn how to
diagnose the print display and UV LED panel.
15.4. Printed object is missing small details
The Original Prusa SL1S 3D printer can produce objects with an incredible amount of details -
tiny wrinkles on clothes of a figure, structure of a skin, thin railings on buildings… however, in case
the printed object is missing incredibly tiny details (not entire parts of the model), it can be due to
incorrect exposure times.
a) Insufficient exposure
Too short exposure times will result in details being “melted” together.
Increase the exposure
times
to recommended values to fix this issue.
b) Overexposed layers
