veining organic ridges on part in the build direction how to identify veining can be diagnosed as follows ridges on part along the build direction (z axis) can be wandering or straight may be wavy especially for larger, flat surfaces this is an uncommon defect an extreme form of this defect is called caping docid\ bosftxf qscxll9rryetn cause inconclusive cause inconclusive cause supports too close to surface troubleshooting it is recommended that you review all the possible solutions before taking action to ensure you are pursuing the best course of action if the best course of action is not apparent, try the troubleshooting options in the order listed refer part defects for more tips print preparation or part design adjustments the following solutions will address print or part related causes of the defects choose among the suggested actions below and select the best approach for your application usually only one type of adjustment is needed supports adjust supports to allow more space between part and support adjust density of supports to allow for more resin flow layout increase padding to at least 5 mm reference layout docid\ sj39gtbagt0csgvvlcfli print profile print using the default print profile instead of dynamic to slow down the print reference print controls dynamic is primarily a tool for m1 and m2 printers force feedback (ffb) printers (m3, m3 max, l1) will see minimal to no difference in print speed with the dynamic print profile, so this troubleshooting option is unlikely to help default print profile print plan adjustments reference print plan adjustments docid\ nxuk0dltz vemeau0dipn for guidance on the following parameters 4 settle down stage delay timing parameters minimum pre exposure delay minimum time force slope down settled if problems persist, please reach out to carbon support mailto\ support\@carbon3d com explanation & causes explanation parts, features and/or supports are too close together restricting resin flow slow moving resin heats up making it more susceptible to curing from stray uv light this condition is magnified over time as resin heats up over the course of the build causes print preparation or part design print plan adjustments print preparation or part design how the part is oriented , supported , or designed is causing the defect print preparation or part design cause root issue problem why defect presents supports over supported parts that are over supported provide less space for resin to flow properly throughout the build causing light to scatter layout parts too dense on platform padding between parts is to small for resin to flow properly throughout the build causing light to scatter print profile print too fast in dynamic a shortened print gives less time for resin flow to all areas of the build causing light to scatter for m1 and m2 printers print plan adjustments print plan adjustments print plan adjustments adjust the print plan to optimize mid to high volume production and/or address part defects in doing so, adjustment may both prevent or cause defects below are adjustments that can cause this defect printing stage parameter type type of adjustment why defect presents 4 settle down delay timing decrease decrease a shortened settle down stage gives less time for resin flow to all areas of the build causing light to scatter
