While curing is an essential part of the resin 3D printing process, with UV lasers or exposures built in to the 3D printer hardware, it is also common for makers to post-cure finished prints. Post-curing resin 3D prints allows users to enhance their print’s mechanical properties and achieve...
If you use astereolithography (SLA) 3D printer, it’s essential to know how to post-cure your resin 3D prints. Post-curing enables parts to reach the highest possible strength and become more stable. However, each resin behaves slightly differently when post-cured, and requires different amount...

The mold is made of flexible, durable silicone that will last a long time. I poured many resin alphabet keychains in preparation for this post, and the mold still looks brand-new. Once cured, the letters and numbers release effortlessly. All you have to do is push the backside of the m...
Housewrap, in contrast, tends to trap any liquid water that gets behind it. Some contractors find felt easier to install and weave into flashings because of its rigidity and narrow roll width. Felt, however, tends to get brittle and deteriorate under long-term exposure to UV radiation and ...

There’s a problem that happens when you’ve been into crafting as long as I have. Anytime you hear about a new thing that you can craft or diy, you just have to try it! That’s how I ended up on Amazon at 11 pm ordering a whole bunch of things to play with resin. Today I...
Not too long ago, the idea of 3D printing — creating three-dimensional objects using machines that add layers of material on top of one another — seemed novel. If you say you're going to print something from your computer, most people still think of two-dimensional printing, putting toner...
amount with a fine-tipped bodkin. I’ll skim the resin over the intersection of the tails and the thread body, then give it a good shot of UV light to cure it. This does an admirable job of keeping the tails reasonably splayed without adding a whole lot of bulk to the body of the...
