Post-curing with an UV cure station will make your resin 3D prints strong and stable. Read this guide to learn how to cure your resin 3D prints.
In part 2 of this paper the potential of Raman Spectroscopy for studying different degrees of curing in cured MF in resins, impregnated paper and laminate surfaces is demonstrated by establishing a relationship between the degree of cure of the resin and the post-formability of the laminate.Aarts...
Cure Time:Cure time is how quickly the resin hardens when exposed to the printer’s light source. Faster-curing resins can speed up your printing process, allowing you to complete projects more quickly. However, if a resin cures too fast, it might lead to brittleness or over-cured parts, ...
This is important to avoid having issues in the long run. If your 3D model has some areas sticking out at an angle that will require supports, as shown, you can add a 45-degree overhang on it. (Image credit: YouTube) After adding a 45-degree overhang, it appears as below. Stay On...
How long should you wash in isopropyl alcohol? The rule of thumb is that five to ten minutes should be enough to remove any uncured resin from the print if washing is coupled with agitation. However, this washing time can be extended for exceptionally large prints or those that have large ...
As long as your varnish is dry, bubble wrap is one of the best ways to go. Make sure the bubbles are facing outwards (so it is flat onto the canvas surface) A couple of wraps over and the canvas will be well protected. If you are sending via post it is also worth having a sheet...
As you can see in the pictures, the resin cures crystal clear. A few DIY dice were poured without any colorant, and they look like glass, not the faintest trace of yellowing. I will update this post in a couple of months once I know if the resin remains clear in the long run. ...
3.Lay your work on a board-I use a piece of MDF, or newspaper, you are bound to get some overspray and/or drips. 4.You need to work quickly but gently –Apply in long even strokes to cover the surface top to bottom while moving from one side to the other. ...
Sprinkle gold flakes over the clear resin. Remove Bubbles and Let Cure Remove bubbles using a butane torch or heat gun. Let set for five minutes and then repeat to remove additional bubbles if needed. Allow resin to cure fully according to package instructions (likely 24 hours). ...
SLA printers use a laser to cure liquid resin into hardened plastic in a process called photopolymerization. SLA is one of the most popular processes among professionals due to its high resolution, precision, and material versatility. Form 4L, a large-format SLA 3D printer from Formlabs, is ...
