Power Resins Review | Wax, Dark, Opaque, Zero | Cast-ability

[@jacobijewels8089]

I need you to turn up the volume on the video bro , thank you for making your content .

[@royaltyjewellers4736]

Hey was just wondering what setting you use for dark having a bit of trouble with it on a Saturn 2

[@Mourke]

Was just about to purchase the Opaque and thought that I should give it another go with search for review. And.. yeah.. you just made my mind up and saved me like 24 bucks. Did you try to cast a print along with regular wax in the same flask? Asking because I don't do casting myself, I give my works to a guy who only does casting. Good channel, keep up.

[@ClearMindJewellery]

Awesome, glad we could help. Yes we’ve combined resins and wax and even organic together and everything has come out in the casting.

[@medmoudi76]

even with zero you need to cast after printing for shrinkage ?

[@Brendenmai1111]

Hi, I’m currently using power cast burn and printing with any cubic photon s. My models on the computer show that the prongs are in the correct spot but when it’s printed they collide…. Do you have any take on that? I’ve tried lowering the microns and exposure time but still get bad prongs but the models come out.

[@vaseamelestean8150]

Hellow, nice video, is there any possibility you can share with us the casting regim in silver? With casting temperatures? Thank you

[@ClearMindJewellery]

Our full burnout process is here kzbin.info/www/bejne/fJXGnIyKi5elgMk We also put it all into a handy cheat sheet clearmindcasting.com/products/lost-wax-casting-cheat-sheet-poster

[@vaseamelestean8150]

@@ClearMindJewellery thank you

[@Saywhatohno]

Amazing video!!!!Do you sand the piece before casting, if you do which grit do you use? Which casting machine do you use? What exposure setting do you use for dark? Which is good for pave and filigree?

[@ClearMindJewellery]

We don’t sand before casting. Exposure settings are listed in the community page. The kaya cast vacuum there is a review of it on the channel. Zero for pavé.

[@Saywhatohno]

@@ClearMindJewellery which resin would you recommend for gold casting? We have high detail prong designs. Thank you

[@maynardmann1518]

A very nice review can you share your burn out schedule?

[@ClearMindJewellery]

We follow the recommended schedule per the investment.

[@sergiogiusti456]

I tried zero resin and appear the layer line on the model also if they are positioned at 45° respect to the platform, Have you noted the same issue during your test?

[@sancakli454]

Hey can I learn about your burnout cycle? It says that you can cast and get good results with a 5 hour burnout cycle?

[@MrLaurentpg]

I used the dark resin but it seems like it wont cast perfectly im using plasticast too :( can it be the cured time ? Or maybe the mix even if i followed the rules :( and what burnout cycle did you use ? 5-6-8 hours ? Thanks

[@ClearMindJewellery]

8 Hours is a minimum when dealing with resin burnout, the larger your item the longer you should hold you max temp up to 2 hours. I would start there if you were less then 8 hours: f7a06ad6-4b2e-4070-9571-9eb8e938f9fc.filesusr.com/ugd/cc5f22_902ad781b4e74bf3b3d55bff34f7fe6c.pdf

[@JohnJones-oy3md]

Just curious - in this age of castable resins, do you still see any advantage at all to using the resin print -> silicone mold -> wax injection method?

[@ClearMindJewellery]

Ya it’s way cheaper lol. Especially with larger orders, and also faster for bulk orders.

[@JohnJones-oy3md]

@@ClearMindJewellery How about casting quality. Do the castable resins generally give the same casting finish as regular wax for you? Thanks!

[@ClearMindJewellery]

You get out what you put in. If the resin printed well and is made correctly it prints with a surface finish equivalent to wax.

[@LilLeishear]

@@ClearMindJewellery What about for very detailed items with many small prong diamond settings?

[@stl3impressao3d32]

Your channel is very good. Did you do UV curing on POWER RESINS prints? What time did the cure take?

[@ClearMindJewellery]

There is no post curing. As per the previous video.

[@commafetchin]

will you have any pinpoint setting rings available for stone setting practice?

[@ClearMindJewellery]

We haven’t made one but it’s on the list.

[@commafetchin]

@@ClearMindJewellery great I’ll be on the lookout

[@pablogeneroso4897]

I am using resinworks, however in some parts with low relief writing problem, I am quite in doubt between the power resin wax (blue) and the bluecast x10 sharpinnazer, do you have any indication?

[@ClearMindJewellery]

I believe we replied on Instagram but in case anyone else wants to know. We've tried CR3A with good results, and X10 with Sharpanizer. The casting for both has been perfect, but printing with X10 is a real hassle. We also found with resin works on some bulkier models the resin expansion can result in infill like in our PLA vs Resin vs Wax video, though usually not as badly.

[@maynardmann1518]

​@@ClearMindJewellery interesting, how did you think the power resins held up to the blue cast line. the review here is pretty glowing, and it would be good to know if it manages to hold a torch to the seemingly omnipresent blue cast products.

[@ClearMindJewellery]

@@maynardmann1518 We have already tried Bluecast, Resnworks 3D, and Prusa castable resins and the Power Resins Dark is our new favourite. We will have a ranked list in a week or so.

[@maynardmann1518]

@@ClearMindJewellery awesome looking forward to it!

[@giuseppeguzzardi9658]

Can I ask what to do if the resin doesn't stik to the printer platform? Thank you

[@DarthMonkey180]

apparently applying a thin layer of resin with a small brush onto the platform and curing it under a UV light for 5-10mins should help. It is also recommended to repeat this process 2-3x for better adhesion

[@giuseppeguzzardi9658]

Thank you D. I have solved buying a so called N-Fep. The guys from the company also suggested to use a primer sort of glue and that too was working until I have changed the fep for the n-fep, now the resin is working all the time. Thank you! Good job you doing here!

[@thefunkyhippy7778]

@@giuseppeguzzardi9658 what is an n-fep? I have this problem

[@bharatjain1997]

Don't drop temperature and then cast you will get good results

[@lelygirl]

Do you do a water wash after washing the prints in alcohol?

[@ClearMindJewellery]

We do the washing cycle in alcohol on our CW1 and then immediately do the drying cycle. No water wash. Power Resins doesn’t need any post UV so we just dry. With some other resins it’s a drying cycle and then UV.

[@lelygirl]

@@ClearMindJewellery Thanks for the response. I actually design, print and pass the pieces to a jeweler to cast. I use the opaque but it seems like a hit and miss with the casting as some items cast perfect and other times its a mess. Also do with think sealing the prints in a air tight bag after drying might help reduce shrinkage if you're not casting immediately?

[@ClearMindJewellery]

There are a lot of reasons things can come out imperfect. If your models are really heavy for example. However I would check in with your casting studio about their burn out schedule and investment. If either aren’t meant for resin it will wreck the cast. It’s best to cast resins ASAP but if you reduce air and light exposure it will help.

[@trinifires]

@@ClearMindJewellery Noted and Thank you!

[@jorgeemiliano2035]

Which of the PowerResins did you find the best print and casting quality?

[@jesselewis7641]

any thoughts on ash with zero

[@ClearMindJewellery]

There’s no evidence of ash with any of them. Surface finish was 👌

[@maynardmann1518]

@@ClearMindJewellery that's what I want to here I can deal with classic porosity but surface ash is worse than herpes!

[@George-ew3gx]

I am looking for a resin with a short burnout time (6-8 hours), do you know of any?

[@ClearMindJewellery]

Fast burnout is typically more a feature of the Investment, look for Dental investment, they are often times designed for rapid firing. Bluecast X10 and One X are both very high wax content resins that I've heard handle Rapid Burnout pretty well.

[@sancakli454]

Hey george did you have any successes with those short burnout cycles? Would love to learn from your experiences. Best.
