That's not red.. its magenta lol.. the browning is making me wonder if the magenta used the same pigment as alcohol inks.. they are notorious for browning in the red/pink/purple hues.. to the point i wont use alcohol inks in dice beyond petti now or black and white.. and if thats the case.. the magenta is unsuitable for printing like this

You should try Anycubic tough ULTRA resin. Its very flexible and rubbery, its better to mix it with other resins to give them better impact resistance but it does make it softer.

Did you cure the models as requested from Siraya tech? Like curing in water or distilled water to take out sulfur? Or just normal curing?
@geek-happens14 күн бұрын
Just normal curing, but for longer (like 20-30 minutes). I've tried submerged and other techniques in the past with various resins of various manufacturers with no noticeable difference/effect

You can always use the Resione G217 technique and dip the cured part into a cup of the heated resin and cure it again. The heated resin is watery and gives it a very thin layer and makes it almost like glass. I have no idea how it would work with a clear that isn't G217 but it's worth a try,

Same recipe, you could play around with the ratios to suit your needs if you want (more gelatin will be firmer). You'll want to use a resin that doesn't get as hot when curing if possible. For me, its worth the extra cost to use silicone.

I'm not sure of the nethod You are using, but are you m of the impression that I saw you in it an earlier video? And maybe it is the case of revealing v. Message employed. Is what I am going to suggest now?Is the same method you are adopting then my apologies. When it comes to adding the ingredients together , it is important that the gelatin is not directly to the glycerin .Ideally first add cold water to the glycerin in a 2:1 ratio, that is tbe amount of water being half the amount of glycerin. Mix well unyil the glycerin has become more fluid.Thatvis it has become less thick tjan itcwas prior mixcing eirh water. You will then add gelatin, thecampubt bring equl too thst kf glycerin but add little by ittle, asmd mske sure itchas been dikuted amd you can't see jt anymore before proceeding to add more. Ot is ery important that when it cimrs to heating. Thisxdhpuld be dome graduskly a d making sure it never reaches bailing paint .Ideally, don't put it directly to heat source but place the contsiner inside another contaner filled with hot water a d let it dissolve gradually. Bear in mind that when the revipe is usex fir tbe purpose of manufacturing suppositories the temperature never exceeds 90 c.
@John-w3f2o3 ай бұрын
Try using less resin at any one time. Instead of pouring all resin at once you may try adding Jr little. Y little rhR way minimising heat concentration a d allowing ot to disperse. Also take into account the volume of resin against rne volume of gelatine/glucerine used fir mold.Rhe dice you're casting is a huge blob of resin right ast the centre of a rather thin walled old by comparison. You need to make tbe. Mold much wider on rbe sides. Ot needs to stand a d retain its shape without difficulty or persuasion.

It would be great to know what the melting temperature of the gelatin mold is. That way, people will know if their resin will get too warm during a cure to be used in these molds.

I hope you can redo the same kind of comparison soon between these two recent products: Elegoo Photopolymer Resin Cleaner VS Formlabs Resin Washing Solution. Both available in 5L cans. Especially the part about their ability (or not) to partially cure hence separate liquid resin diluted in them when exposed to UV light (to filtrate out the resin and recycle the cleaning solution, which is a real bonus, considering their price point)

@StealthViper4 ай бұрын
Your biggest problem you are going to have with the gelatin is the heat from the curing process of the resin. Unless you are doing something to keep the resin cool (putting it in the freezer), or using some of the really slow set stuff, that resin is going to heat up past the melting point of the gelatin and deform your mold as it cures.
@geek-happens4 ай бұрын
I knew I would forget something, thanks for bringing that up. I think I did put it in the fridge last time. The downside is not being able to put the pressure pot in the fridge, so either deformed (without resin that doesn't heat too much) in a pressure pot or microbubbles if in the fridge/freezer. I will add that like before, the molds themselves do deform over time on their own (shrinking, separating, etc.), so I would heat it up and create a new mold each time I want to do a cast.

@andreafalconiero90895 ай бұрын
Very interesting idea! Have you tried increasing the amount of gelatin in the recipe (maybe 3 oz rather than 2) to see if that makes a more durable mould that is less prone to tearing? It seems like it would be easy to alter the mix to increase the "hardness" of the rubber-like gelatin, just by adding more of it. Whether or not that would reduce the propensity of the mould to tear is an open question that only testing would answer.

THIS. 4:22. The impossibility to cure liquid resin diluted in these dedicated resin cleaners (I confirmed it to be impossible for now at least with Sunlu Resin Detergent and MonoCure3D ResinAway) is what prevents me to switch to such solution and ditch IPA. Not only these products are most of the time more expensive than IPA, but the impossibility to cure suspended liquid resin wit UV means that it cannot be filtered out, hence the cleaner cannot be recycled contrary to IPA, and must be disposed at a local waste collection center when dirty and ineffective. What a waste of money! There are other cleaner detergents out there (Elegoo, Phrozen, FormFutura, BASF, Sailsea, BlueCast…) but I fear they all act the same. @Geek Happens did you eventually find one that allows diluted resin to cure inside when exposed to UV light?
@geek-happens5 ай бұрын
The only other cleaner/detergent I've tried was from Sailsea and the resin does cure out of it quite well. As far as cleaning... meh, need to make sure the solution isn't too diluted to work.
