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, ...
Drop sheet: Cover your work surface with a drop sheet or old newspaper to protect it from spills and drips. Uncured resin is very, very sticky and difficult to remove. Before I show you how to make dice, I want to discuss the polyhedral dice molds and the best resin for dice making. ...
Removing supports is always challenging, especially if they are located in difficult-to-reach or delicate parts of the print. Get to know the tips to consider to avoid them.
3D printers can’t print in mid-air without support structures. Get to know of 5 types of supports to successfully print designs with overhangs that exceed 45 degrees angle.
So when a painting has yellowed and looks suitably dirty, the varnish can be removed (and all the dirt with it), restoring the painting to its vibrant, former glory, then a new varnish can be applied to protect it for the next 100 years or so. ...
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 ...
SLA printers use a focused or UV light on a resin vat to “cure” each layer of your print, whereas FDM printers melt a spool of plastic filament to generate each layer. In other words, each layer is basically a “photo” projected using a projector. This fundamental difference means that...
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 hollow spaces or channels. A maximum of twenty ...
