FEP films for Phrozen Transform

Buy FEP :

The Transform FEP is 28x36cm.

Tips for changing the FEP on the 13.3 VAT.
Don’t use Allen wrenche (hex key) with the little universal ball end. It could snap off on a really tight screw. Then I couldn’t get the little bugger out.
Make sure the countersinks are facing upward.

Tips from Phrozen : Use 95% alcohol spray to clean it (or IPA on cloth or eyeglass cleaning wipes) and use air gun to dry it to avoid wiping. That makes our film sustain longer (3 months with 2 prints per day).

Reduce noise of Phrozen Transform

This 3D printer produce some noise like a Dyson vacuum cleaner ! We work in the same room and I search to reduce this. I will compile the best tips for that in few days….

The best soluce is to change fans by Noctua brand like we did on our all Wanhao FDM printers.

We ordered 2 x Noctua NF-A8 and 2 x Noctua NF-A9 on Amazon, We will test soon…

Note : All LCD/DLP printers make noise

Touchscreen freeze (bug)

If your touchscreen freeze, and your only soluce is to power-off the printer, you need to update the firmware or to reinstall firmware (img).

Ventilation system for indoor / Enclosure

All SLA / LCD / DLP 3D printers produce smell pending printing due resin (all resins smell). The smell is very unplaisant and worrying. We search to control this with an easy installation.

We need to build a compact systeme with blower charcoal filter like that :

First print on Phrozen Transform

– Remove the tank
– Perform the alignment of the Z (Z-align): slide an A4 sheet on the LCD screen then unscrew the 4 side screws of the buildplate, align the tray and re-screw the 4 screws while holding down with the left hand, finalize the procedure on the screen.
– check that the FEP film has no damage (impacts, scratches, etc.)
– Install the tank, and pour the resin (previously stirred gently to avoid bubbles).

IMPORTANT:

– Save the print parameters of the resin chosen directly on the printer (or from its web interface accessible by wifi or ethernet at the address displayed on the printer screen “192.168.0.XX”).

– Use PZslicer, Chitubox or FormWare 3D at your convenience. We use Chitubox for this exmaple, practical, free, regularly updated.
– Add a raft (sphere) and the necessary supports.
– Save the print file * .zip at your convenience (on the hard disk or USB key)
– Send the file to the printer * .zip to the printer
– Start printing
– At the end : Remove the print form buildplate (The raft added consumes a little more resin but makes it easier to remove the print).
– remove most of supports if possible
– wash the objet with alcohol IPA and use toothbrush if necessary.
– Place the objet on UV LAMP 10-15 min
– remove easily remaining supports.
– sand and paint
– All is done

Notes:

Be careful not to create a wall that is too thin for hollow objects (1.2mm for small objects and 3 to 5 mm up to 40 cm in height).

  1. Hi,

    I just came across your article, do you have any update on the upgrade to noctua fans?

    I am planning to do the same on mine.

    Also there seems to be a problem with the twitter login integration.

    Best regards
