14 Troubleshooting
14.1 Troubleshooting tables
14.1.1 Prints fail to attach to build platform
Possible cause Solution
Build platform set
too high
Check that the build platform homes correctly and the
calibration gap is OK.
Build platform is
not clean
Check that the build platform is completely clean and
free of contamination, especially oils. Handling the
build platform without gloves can leave traces of oil.
Not enough resin
in the basin
Check that the resin is filled to the top of the build
platform at minimum, plus the volume needed for the
printed part.
Part base smaller
than largest cross
section
If you print a cone with the point to the build platform,
for example, the print can detach when the force
between the basin and the printed part becomes
greater than the force holding the part to the build
platform.
•
Change the orientation of the part.
• Ifyou cannot change the orientation of the part, add
supports to the part where the cross section starts
to increase.
Resin-
contaminated
build platform or
basin
If you use the build platform or basin with multiple
different resin-types, the print can fail to attach to the
build platform.
Use only the appropriate resin for the build platform
and basin pair.
Support is too
long and thin
If the supports are long and thin enough to move
during the print process, new support layers can fail to
attach to the rest of the support and instead attach to
the basin.
Thicken the support in Creo C5 Studio, and try the print
again.
14.1.2 Print cannot be removed from build platform
Possible cause Solution
Resin
contaminated
platform or basin
If the build platform or basin has been used with
multiple different resin-types, the print can adhere very
strongly to the build platform.
Use only the appropriate resin for the build platform
and basin pair.
