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.
Viscosity:Viscosity refers to how thick or thin the resin is. A low-viscosity resin will flow more easily, which can be beneficial for creating smooth, detailed prints with fewer surface imperfections. However, thinner resins might be trickier to handle and may require more careful leveling during...
If you have used supports that are easy to remove, you don’t need to use any tool; you can use your hands, especially for resin 3D prints. After putting on gloves, begin by snapping off the supports from the attachment points and work outward. Also, you can try to squeeze and collap...
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 amounts of time and temperature to arrive at the mate...
Why do you need to wash resin prints? Resin 3D printing has often been criticized as a very messy process. This mostly comes down to having to handle the liquid resin. Not only can this resin create a mess by dripping or spilling, but it’s also a toxic compound. ...
Resin is one of the most commonly used material in 3D Printing, it prints objects with high precision and smooth surface finishes. As it is liquid, resin needs support when printing. While metallic material includes ferrous metals and non-ferrous metals, of which alloy, and steel powder are ...
it is usually necessary to use supports made of the same material as the printed object, so FDM supports are relatively easy to remove. For SLA printing, however, the support is usually composed of a different light-curing resin than the printed object, which is difficult to remove and requi...
Otherwise, if you’re going to be using your 3D printers a lot and will need to do some post-processing of prints, it’s useful to keep a few tools handy. We created a guide to tools for FFF 3D printers Peripherals (optional) –These can add more functionality to your 3D printer. ...
The speed of the 3D printing technology chosen will also impact the overall cost. If you’re working with less expensive, but slower 3D printers, it can be challenging to make up time if there are any issues with the production run. For example, while resin 3D printers and SLS 3D printer...
If you are already familiar with the leveling process of FDM 3D printers, it’s essential to know that the process is a bit different in resin 3D printers. This is because of the differences in how those two types of 3D printers operate. In FDM 3D printers, leveling involves adjusting the...
