Correct distance between resin pump tube and film of resin VAT

Hi,

What should the correct distance be between the end of the resin pump tube and the VAT?

When the printer arrived I trimmed the tube so the distance is now approximately 1mm.

I think there should be more of a gap because the pump appears to be very bad a redrawing resin into the bottle?

Please can you advise.

Many thanks

Hi James, You’re right. There should be gap between pump tube and film of resin tank. We usually put a bevel at the head of tube.

For your issue, it seems because the holder of pump tube is loose. You can use a tape to stick pump tube and sensor to resin tank and test whether there is still problem when redrawing.
