Liqcreate Wax Castable 3D Printer Resin [HONEST REVIEW]

[@liqcreate]

Thank you for testing and reviewing our product! Looks great! One tip for people working in colder areas, if you place the bottle (cap closed) in a bucket of hot water. the resin is easily heated up and you can actually print some hours in a cold environment. the leftover resin will turn solid on the part after printing, but in an ultrasonic bath of >19C it will melt and clean it properly.

[@vogman]

Thanks for the opportunity to review your resin. I think it's clear from the review that I liked it. Thanks also for the useful tips you've shared here 😁

[@memocontini]

Good evening! Do you ship to Brazil?

[@johnhutchinson5557]

I would like to point out that if you look at the casting the area below the sprue attachment spot. You start to get a little degradation , the top half is excellent . Your sprueing location is trapping ash and gasses can't back around the corner. You are using a tall enough flask to accommodate moving the sprue to the bottom. Also smooth out all transitions. I have been a caster for 45 years, it can be very rewarding.

[@vogman]

Thank you John, I completely agree in honesty. I normally attach my sprue at the lowest point, as was done with wax casting to allow as much of the wax as possible to run freely from the flask. However in this instance I was being deliberately hard on this resin, testing if it really does completely burn away. I think given what I hard time I gave it, we can agree that it did a pretty good job. But thanks for your input. I truly value to opinion of those with real world experience 😁👍👍👍

Sunlu _used_ to use those same bottles for their resin, I loved them. Unfortunately they seem to have switched to the same ol' plastic bottles most other vendors use as of late. I kept all of those empty aluminuim bottles for storing excess resin from different mixes I've made; they're perfect for that. Pour in some IPA and shake it to clean out an empty bottle.

[@vogman]

Good tip. They ARE nice bottles 😁

[@KrakenCasting]

Wow, that print came out so crisp! The cast was stellar, too!

[@vogman]

Excellent work! When you put the piece in the ultrasonic cleaner to remove the investment, what is the green liquid/if mixed with water what ratio? What temperature and time do you use for this step? I am thinking about buying a blasting cabinet to use with my pressure washer to devest but as a home hobbiest it it is more convenient to use the ultrasonic cleaner. Thank you for the videos!!

[@jirimacek5194]

Hello, you describe flipping flask after an hour in the oven. Can you explain that to me? Isn't an hour too soon? The wax hasn't come out yet. Thanks for the info and your videos, they help me a lot.

[@vogman]

Is that what I say? I can't be sure without replaying the video, but typically, you begin with the button upside down so wax, etc, can drip out. Then, after the hottest burnout temperature and at least an hour before pour, you rotate the flask 180 degrees to help any trapped gasses escape 😁

[@HAL9000.]

Glad to see you're still Vogging here.

Already printing parts for the home. Repaired the kitchen pan drawer with a resin part earlier this month, and the bathroom extractor has had an FDM printed cover for years! Also, Tim Burton and Danny Elfman are coming to sue you, or offer you a film deal, I'm not sure which prospect is scarier.

Off topic, but, I think, a good question: Is Geoff looking at any 3D scanners? I will be doing my own research for a buy, but I'd definitely wait for Geoff's word if he has anything in the pipeline for review.

[@vogman]

Yes... a bit expensive for just "ordinary" resin, but as a castable resin, it's pretty good 😁

[@LurLemurllcorp]

What is exposure time you used?

[@stephengefell7317]

Have you ever dabbled with making your own alloys Geoff? I like bronze, but it's not always the color I want. Premixed white bronze is ok, but I feel like I burn out a lot of the zinc and haven't had great success with it. A little intimidated to try making my own alloys since it can be expensive to track down some of the trace metals. Also, at least in your videos you're always using ancient bronze and it looks great...what temp are you setting your furnace to? I have noticed conflicting temps on Rio's website between the print on the site and the MSDS. When I contacted them the representative gave me a temp that was definitely wrong so I don't think that particular person knew anything about that particular topic. Just curious what works for you as I kind of feel like I've been winging it. Working, but always wonder if things could be better. Experimentation is great, but expensive in time!

[@Mistertbones]

That casting came out nice! Seems like you're a fan of this resin.

[@vogman]

I did enjoy using this resin, yes. Normally I have to figure everything out for myself and waste time and resin just tuning it in. Liqcreate have done all the work already, as all companies should. I applaud them for that. It prints great and casts great, plus the price is fair. It's a good one 😁

[@Streamcatcher]

@@vogman sounds good, how do you compare it to bluecast X-one?

[@vogman]

I like X One, but I get a lot of misprints as it requires large supports, which can overwhelm a small and detailed print. I had no such issues with Liqcreate. As for casting, they both cast equally well.

[@Streamcatcher]

@@vogman wow, that sounds great. After your review I ordered a small liqreate bottle, which was surpicingly affordable too! Thank you for your review and answer.

I have a question about the vaccume rig that you use, how many items have you cast at once? im thinking about picking one up to do some small scale production work and if its only strong enough to do a a couple items at a time i dont think its what im looking for. For example, can you do (or have you done?) a pull tree of rings?

[@vogman]

Have a look at the original review video, it may help. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qpXbmo2pZbJ3mNU It's all about the flask size and how you stack the items. In the past I've cast several things at once 😁

[@danieldurrant2510]

So I got this resin for my phrozen 4k mini and 8k mighty. I'm still messing with settings to get it right but I had a question if you have the time: I'm running into the resin drooping/pooling in some of the tighter areas. I assume this is because of sub-surface scattering from the resin being semi transparent. Do you think there is a solution aside from playing with print angle and doing it in multiple parts?

[@asmrwiz-m4e]

Can i use 3d printed object instead of styrofoam in lost foam casting???

[@vogman]

I've never tried it, but I can't imagine it working very well in the "Lost" method.

Thanks for reply, Sorry for bothering again. In my country investment plaster cost a lot. So is there any alternative of investment plaster in lost pla casting?

[@franzsteinert502]

You say this is a wax based resin, is it possible to melt it with little heat after printing? I think I read somewhere that most casting resins (Siraya for example) dont really melt at all, but rather burn up at high temperatures.

[@vogman]

I wouldn't think so. These have wax content, but not enough to make them melt like wax. They typically revert to gas in the burn out process.

[@vartanpanossian7331]

Hey Vogman :D between this and siraya tech cast, which do you feel is easier to use?

[@vogman]

Which is EASIER? Probably ST Cast. Even though ST Cast likes it warm as well, it is still runny when Liqcreate has frozen, making cleaning easier. But if you have a warm environment, well... both are easy to use.

[@vartanpanossian7331]

Thanks!

[@HeliumFreak]

Are you meant to use the hotbox without the enclosure on the 3d printer? I dont see why you cant just leave the lid on, itll still heat up all the same.

If you keep the lid on, you prevent the heat getting in. With the lid off, everything is the same temperature 😁
