Hey,
I’m kind of new to 3d printing and still learning. I bought my first 3d printer Zortrax Inkspire, but can’t seem to find the way to get it print perfect. I has printed well and the other time it fails to print. The last print was half good. I would appreciate any info, I add pictures and print file.
Hi, Karl.
At first, make sure that the platform is properly calibrated and that it’s parallel to the screen.
Yours looks a bit uneven and that can cause warping.
Besides, you can increase bottom layers exposure time. Do you use the newest Z-SUITE and firmware versions?
With the same calibration it has printed very good.
Maybe the other option.
And yes i use the newest software
I see that you have modified the platform head, but to me it looks a bit uneven. Are you sure that it keeps platform stable enough and the screws don’t get too loose over time? That would explain why at the beginning it works properly, but models warp with time. I recommend that you look into that.
Okay, it might I try and adjust a bit and see what it does then. I have only printed 4 times though.
Did you see the set up and support for my designs? Was that okay?
Thank in advance
Hi Karl,
I’ve just launched a test print of your model. We’ll let you know about the result once it’s done.
Also, please take a look at the manual with tips for proper model orientation&supports, as this is a key factor for a successful print.
Kind regards
Oh, thanks, take a quick look 
Hey there!
Marcin has printed your model without any problem, so it’s not a .zcode issue.
I suspect that your platform screws get loose in a quite short time. The platform is not parallel to the screen, which results in warping. Please, look into that.
Oh great work, thank you very much. I will take a look into that. Thanks again for everything
I’ve been having a similar issue with the factory build plate. Last night I found the build plate surface was quite warped. It was high along the edges and low in the center. Took about an hour of sanding to get it flat again.
I was failing over 50% of my prints like yours but they were always on the back of the build plate. I am still testing but so far it looks promising since making it flat.
I suspect it was trapping air under the plate and not allowing the resin to properly flow
I think the problem was the tilted platform. I readjusted printer and calibrated again and it really prints well now.
Great! Thanks for letting us know
It could be. I just worked with support for a similar issue. We tried 2 different printers with 2 different build plates. It came down to the plates being warped and trapping air on top of bottom layer exposure values for zortrax resin needed increased.
Here are some photos of the warped build plate
Hi, is your problem solved? Do you recommend buying Zortrax inkspire
Hey,
I guess my problem was related with the room temperature. It kind of solved itself in the summer and the problem occured again when it went a little colder in out country. We didn’t want to put room temp up to 25 degrees celsius as the printer is in the workshop. We find it hard to work in such a hot conditions so we hold the room temperatur around 22-23 degrees and just pause the print around 10% and take a look if anything is sticked under the plate if not then just stop the print, clean out the tank and start the print again. Then the printer has generated enough heat so the conditions are ideal again.
If the conditions are right I think inkspire is really good for the price. Also after the latest updates in zsuite it have made things really easy.
