Thanks a bunch for the tutorial and all the tips, dude! 😊 Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@DutchRC]

Thanks as always brother :) I must say the prints are Gorgeous but the amount of work to get there less "gorgeous" ;)

[@54car54]

I've seen this on another review as well, where the protective brown packing paper isn't removed from the clear plastic turntable to allow the light to penatrate through to the bottom of the prints :)

[@DutchRC]

Interesting! As it is (I still have the paper on it) it soaks up the alcohol a bit.. But I can well imagine it should indeed be removed :)

[@N8theballer]

Quick question…what kind of alcohol or solution should I be using to clean? Bought my son a printer and resin for xmas and didn’t even know I needed this lol thank you!!

[@DutchRC]

isopropyl alcohol is what you need :) At least: that's what I use and it works well

[@N8theballer]

@@DutchRC you fill the entire bucket or do you cut it with water? Thank you!!

[@DutchRC]

@@N8theballerNope.. no water.. what you see me use in the video is pure alcohol

[@olwynskye417]

Any idea how long that alcohol stays effective until it needs to be replaced? I imagine that resin gunk is going to start building up in it after washing enough prints. I think due to certain plague that recently bothered the world, at least here isopropyl alcohol is quite pricey (~10 € / liter) due to people wasting it on making hand sanitizer.

[@DutchRC]

Welllll that kinda depends on the kinds of prints (huw much of the uncured resin clings to it) and how long you let it drip after printing.. The resin will kinda sink to the bottom of the bucket I should add... But I am still working with the first filling..

[@DanieleOttorogo]

you can use bioethanol, same result and at least here in italy 10 liters is now 29 euros

[@DutchRC]

@@DanieleOttorogoGood to know! Thanks for the info :)

[@ximrainnz1867]

for how long do you keep the alcohol in it? When should one switch it out?

[@DutchRC]

I don't think it goes "bad" per sé.. I just use it until it gets to opague / cluttered up.

[@mado.143]

Can the alcohol explode if exposed to any electrical appliances or air?

[@DutchRC]

nope.. but the alcohol Vapor might combust when you hold an open flame near it.. more less the same as petrol I'd say

[@mado.143]

@@DutchRC wow I really appreciate you coming back to reply to old videos, didn’t think I’d get a reply. I understand, thank you very much.

[@DutchRC]

@@mado.143 No worries :D it isn't a lot of effort ;)

[@fennoman9241]

You sound kinda like Sean Connery.

[@DutchRC]

Thank you very much! (unless you ment I sound like a dead man ;) ) ... I get this comment from time to time..

[@dontknow3949]

I am sooo unbelievably confused. So you talk about curing for ~10-20 minutes but all research I do says 2-7 minutes??? I’ve been curing for 6 minutes and it just does not have any effect whatsoever lol? But then I tried 17 mins after watching this video and it comes out as absolute pristine perfection. These are small models. I am so confused

[@DutchRC]

Fun! :D Soooo I simply experimented until things worked well.. And that's what I put in my video.. A short cure just isn't enough.. The size of the model matters less then I expected by the way :) Happy printing! ;)

[@dontknow3949]

@@DutchRCthank you! I will trust you and continue with the longer cures. They seem to be coming out great

[@ians9390]

could you "cure" the liquid by itself? In order to throw it away

[@DutchRC]

yes you could. but in a relatively large volume (say a small bottle) it WILL take quite a while..
