Secondly, curing models brings out all the features and details that are present after printing but not quite as sharp and distinct. Curing resin prints also smoothes up surfaces and gives models that sleek sheen we expect from SLA prints. It’s the final touch up needed to fully complete the polymerization process and the work undertaken by the printer to bring a model to life. You can also remove supports after curing a model, but in a semi-cured state, they are generally easier to remove and leave much less noticeable marks on features and details.
Many people have had positive experiences with this resin. The level of detail is comparable to Elegoo’s regular resins, so that’s a good sign. This resin produces smooth surfaces with a bit of a “rubbery” feel. Not Fragile】 Phrozen Water-Washable Resins are tougher than others on the market. Use this resin to create 3D printed figures, miniatures, and prototypes.
Please act in a responsible way, even if it takes a bit more work. Elegoo Water Washable Resin Conclusions Water washable resin sounds like a great idea. In theory, it allows you to post-process your models easier and clean them with just regular tap water. These are the specs listed by Elegoo: After rinsing your 3D printed parts with water, the residual water will contain substances from the resin, which can harm the environment. Instead of throwing that water down the drain, leave it exposed to either sunlight or UV-light for at least half an hour, depending on the intensity of the sun.
Properly cleaning and curing your resin prints transforms a fragile, viscous, potential toxic and slightly hazy blob of semi-cured resin into a structurally sound and highly detailed model. It’s an unavoidable part of printing with a resin SLA printer, and one you’ll want to get right to save time and hassle in the long run.
Plastic Containers– We recommend two. Fill them with Isopropyl Alcohol. One for washing models and the other to wash the build plate (much easier than doing it entirely by hand with paper towel). Ensure the second is rectangular and is large enough to dunk the plate. We also recommend air tight containers so that you can seal them and reuse the alcohol for your next print session. You’ll likely get a few washes out of the alcohol before it’s too contaminated with uncured resin to be useful. Once you open the bottle, you’ll notice the resin’s smell, but it’s far from what you’d call an intense resin odor. Models made with this resin have a nice, vibrant color. Phrozen is a manufacturer of LCD resin 3D printers as well as resins. Among several different types of resin, they also offer a water-washable resin. It was mainly developed for Phrozen’s 3D printers, which utilize a 405-nm wavelength light source. It’s compatible, however, with all other 405-nm printers as well. Because using water washable resin seems like a great idea (not needing to mess with IPA or other alcohol), this doesn’t mean that it’s good for the environment.
How long to cure resin prints depends on the resin brand, but generally most hobbyist resins require 10-15 minutes of curing to fully harden and take on its final material properties within wash and cure stations. While the sabre pommel was probably not supported well enough, I can’t justify the layer shifts that occurred on the top.When it comes to details, we’d say that’s where this resin truly shines. What’s not so great is the durability. Similar to the Elegoo resin, the models are simply a bit brittle.
