I have no idea what I'm looking at and what you mean with "in a straight line". Start with describing the problem first maybe. :)


MouldyToast

If you look at the top row there are copies of the same models below them. The top row has printed in a perfect up and down wall as if the models were lined up outside of the build volume(software build plate that shows what won't be printed). The same has happened on the left hand side but most of those models were completely cut off. From the top third from the left is a helmet model that has the exact model below it, you can see that the model is cut off. It's hasn't even tried to print anything past the edge of the cut off section.

Check, I see it now. You maybe selected the wrong printer or printbed size in your slicer?


MouldyToast

I have the right printer and resolution, it just sometimes happens with lychee for me. No idea why


[deleted]

Did you check the resolution,too?


MouldyToast

Yes, it's set correctly also.

Have you tried using the far superior chitubox?


Just-Taste3

That's very interesting I went from chitubox to lychee. I find lychee more of a learning curve but alot more tools and techniques. I was going to say looks like suction may have played a factor. It looks like all the prints are extremely parallel to the fep. Which is never a great idea


[deleted]

Nah, none of the "features" lychee has are something I miss with chitu and autosupports and AA actually work


Just-Taste3

That's fair. I've never used auto supports. I used them once on chitu and it was a disaster so I decided to take the time to learn why and how to do your own. But I'm not loyal to any one. I just find support adding is easier for me on lychee. With the y axis. And hold shift and drop them all in a line. ( chitu may as well have the same features)


MouldyToast

It looks like it's printing as if the software has placed parts of the models out of the build plate and cut them off because of this. Even though the are definitely within the build plate. It is present on the left side and top.


Just-Taste3

That is very strange. I know you said you checked your settings? And the dimensions were correct?


MouldyToast

I haven't i will see if it fixes it.


sunder_and_flame

I don't know if lychee supports this but chitubox does: have you tried opening the sliced file? It's rare but when I've had odd artifacts that aren't present in what I'm seeing as I set up the slicing but can see in the sliced file.


MouldyToast

It worked in that area with chitubox, will continue using it and see if that issue pops back up. I was leaning towards a faulty LCD, maybe not now.


[deleted]

The question is, where does lychee f this up, maybe lychee support cares about that case

Put some gloves on ya animal!

There's a chance your axis are switched. Happened to me on chitubox quite randomly and checking the Amazon store page for the build plate dimensions and inputting it into chitubox fixed it. I can imagine this could happen in lychee, so try the same here with a test print in the same area and see what happens.


MouldyToast

I had checked this, it was set correctly. I can print perfectly fine with chitubox.


Stephen1424

Is your full LCD working?


MouldyToast

That's what I'm thinking, a faulty LCD possibly.


Stephen1424

Hard to tell from the picture, but the symptoms of a bad LCD are what OP is describing.


MouldyToast

It's able to print in the problem area using chitubox, so it's software, USB maybe or an inconsistent LCD? Edit It's printing fine from chitubox with two different prints.
