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...
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.
Fast Cure Casting Resin: The key to any resin project is a high-quality resin that produces impeccable results. I used IntoResin’s Fast Cure Casting Resin. The mixing ratio resin-hardener is 1:1, and the product is measured by volume. The cure time is just 8 to 12 hours. For ...
Step 2: Mix epoxy resinThe Fast Cure Casting Resin is 1-to-1 part by volume. So, mark 2 disposable plastic cups with measurement lines. Other resin brands may have a different mixing ratio, so check the manufacturer’s instructions if working with another type of resin....
aBZ-519-1 is a two-component, colorless clear, flexible, very soft, low viscosity, fast cure liquid polyurethane resin; it has excellent UV and yellow resistance property, weather resistant and anti-aging, form a bright crystal clear and smooth surface after cured. It is widely used in domi...
SLA (stereolithography) printers use lasers to UV cure specific areas of a resin tank to form solid parts one cross-section at a time. These cured areas, however, are not at full strength until post-processing with UV. As well, the typical printing angles and orientations of SLA can lead...
To keep the tails splayed, I like to cheat a bit. I’ll place a small amount of UV cure resin on a scrap piece of paper, here a sticky pad. Then, scoop up a miniscule amount with a fine-tipped bodkin. I’ll skim the resin over the intersection of the tails and the thread body...
If the epoxy resin in your repair kit requires UV light to cure, pull your car out of the garage or from the shade into the open daylight. If possible, save windshield repair for a warm, sunny day. If it’s been raining, make sure you use a hair dryer to remove moisture from insid...
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 ...
When you get to bare McFlylon, reach for your UV torch and give the area a healthy bath of UV light to set the resin. You can then use the very tips of your tying scissors to carefully snip the excess hackle off close. Finally give the post a little twist and snip it off to ...
