No. A respirator needs to be used in both steps. Your brain is important too, not just your lungs. A vapor cartridge is needed for the resin and particulate filter for sanding. OUTDOORS.

At 0:48 you state that the resin is strong without the cloth. This is known not to be the case. Without fibers in the resin cracks propagate unchecked. Adding resin to a porous surface might add strength but for other surfaces all you would be doing is adding weight.

I did something similar with all of my 3d-printed Mando plates. But be warned: this strengthening technique does not prevent your plastic plates from breaking when being knocked or falling on the floor (depends on the flooring - carpet provides a higher chance of survival than tile). But there is higher chance that all of the fragments will stay together. Also, I never bought such a kit, but large quantities of expoxy resin and large packs of fibreglass mats meant mostly for boat repairs from the usual sources (I always get the 300 gr kind - plenty strong). Also, I never cut it with scissors, but tear the mats into smaller pieces. This way, pieces overlap way better and creates a stronger bond.

@GalaxyBuilt 5 ай бұрын
If it’s armor you’re referring to, there’s such a thin bit of material that after connecting it could easily break again. I would recommend gluing the seem, possibly welding the inside, and definitely using fiberglass resin and cloth to make the back stronger to avoid it snapping again.

@GalaxyBuilt 6 ай бұрын
It’s probably a good idea for extra strength! I didn’t do it on the smaller pieces of this armor though, because I didn’t want to add to the thickness of the back of the pieces. Also, I had already painted them when I finally got around to this step, so I didn’t want to have to sand. But it’s a great idea!

I'm planning to do some armor, how do I reinforce the outside? Use resin? Or resin and fibreglass? I don't want to lose detail on the exterior of a helmet or chest piece etc. But don't want it to be at risk of caving in
@GalaxyBuilt 8 ай бұрын
Are you printing it with enough walls and infill? Doesn’t take much to keep it from caving in. I would say that if you’re concerned you can definitely coat the inside or hidden parts with fiberglass resin. It works quite well to add strength. I highly recommend doing this for seam lines between pieces for sure

I’m in the middle of painting right now and I’m wondering if you just wait for like a couple of hours before masking the back and cheeks and starting to mask the red.. or did you wait overnight? I’m wondering if it is risky to leave the masking on overnight and then starting the red..

It definitely varies between different paints but I would advise at least waiting overnight for the paint to dry before putting tape on it. If the paint is not set, masking tape will ruin the paint job when you go to peel it off.

Quick question; Have you had any issues with the exothermic reaction's heat warping or damaging pieces at all? I originally tried to 'rondo' my 3D printed armor (resin + body filler) but it seems to have gotten too hot and ended up warping some parts to the point where I had to re-print them. That's a bit different than just the fiberglass resin by itself, but I'm curious if you noticed any issues.
@GalaxyBuilt 11 ай бұрын
I have not has issues with this particular fiberglass resin getting too warm for 3d prints. However, I've used Epoxamite 101 in the past and noticed that if I had the correct amount of hardener or a little bit too much, the reaction would be too fast and "smoke" as it dried. Using a slightly lower ratio of hardener helped, just took longer to set. I hope that helps!
@colinmsmall 11 ай бұрын
Do you remember what grit sandpaper you used to sand with the electric sander? Also, how did you go about sanding the top edge part of the visor frame on the outside where the printer tends to leave layer lines.. or did you just use a soldering iron?
@GalaxyBuilt 11 ай бұрын
Usually I have either 80 or 120 grit on my sander. For the edges around the visor and along the bottom ridge I used a bit of the soldering iron but I also used a file as well. Filing those edges is a pretty easy way to smooth them

You can help yourself out a lot with alignment by either adding pegs and slots to the design, or just add slots that will conform to a generic wood peg (you could also use aluminum or carbon fiber rod to make stronger pegs for smaller parts). This has the added benefit of preventing the seams from being a structural element and almost entirely shifting the challenge to just hiding the seams rather than trying to make them as strong as the rest of the print.
