Print Unintentionally Scaled Along Z-Axis #838
-
Currently operating an Elegoo Saturn 3 Ultra. I been trying to set an accurate XY scale and tolerance compensation for a new resin so that I can print some functional parts. Usually, I just set up the print in Chitubox, slice, and write off the .goo file. For this resin, I wanted to increase the rest time before curing on the bottom layers to combat blooming that I noticed on some of my parts. So, I imported the .goo file, made the edit, and saved the file; however, when I ran the print, the resulting parts were very flat compared to what I was expecting. Upon further inspection, the parts had been scaled along the z-axis (>1:4 scale). I figured that this might have been an error on my part, so I restarted the process and repeated the print but received the same result. Is there a setting in UV Tools that could be causing this? In UV Tools, the layer height of the top layer matches my expected print height. Is there an issue with import/export of .goo files through UV Tools? |

Should not. The best way is to print the original file without uvtools so you can confirm if the problem is uvtools or not |

I think the problem is the printer is stop printing earlier...
I compare again the files and the only differences are the wait time on bottom layers AND the use of
PerLayerSettings
flag. All other bytes match. (5 layers wait time parameters + a flag = Total 6 differences).As the diferences are so tiny I think the problem is the flag that control where to follow global settings or layer settings, some printers goes bad with it. (Do you have latest firmware?) Recently I saw someone that after the firmware upgrade printer start to ignore some functions.
Here the UVtools file just with the
PerLayerSettings
flag set to 0.Elegoo ABS-Like_standalone_02h39m_4ml_GLOBALSETTINGS.zip
Try that, if i…
