  Hi everyone,

  Sometimes I have to test printing very tiny model with our WJ. The models have thin, tiny details. So it's very easy to break while washing, handling... Does anyone has experience how to succeed this job?

  Hi! Thin wax models can definitely be tricky.

  A few things that usually help:

  • Try changing the print orientation.
  • Add a little more support around fragile areas.
  • Handle the model as gently as possible after printing.
  • If possible, make the thinnest features just a bit thicker.

  Just curious — are they breaking during printing, when removing them from the build plate, or during cleaning? what's the printer mode are you using to print?

  What do you mean printer mode? Do you mean printer model? It's WJ510.

  It is usually got broken during the washing procedure and take it out from the solvents.

  Some customers need to make their models as thin as possible due to gold price.
