When it comes to 3D printing, it can be difficult to get a good first layer without the help of rafts and brims, with certain filaments out there. Once your 3D print is complete, removing the rafts & brims can be troublesome. I went out and researched how to best remove rafts and brims that…
There have been many times when I’ve been 3D printing and my resin prints start sticking to the FEP or resin tank rather than the build plate. It can be frustrating, especially since you have to do the whole wash and cure process. This led me to do some research and testing to figure out…
Resin 3D printing can create some really high-quality models, but people wonder whether they need support while printing. At some point, I wondered this myself, so I went out to properly research the best methods of making supports for resin prints. The best way to add supports to your models is to use the auto-generated…
I was sitting here with my Anycubic Photon Mono X printing a model, and I realized there were white marks or residue over my resin prints, so this got me wondering, how do I fix this? After some research, I found some pretty simple fixes to solving the issue of white residue on resin prints….
When it comes to 3D printing clear resin models, I’ve heard a lot of people having trouble with cloudy prints, or even yellowing. I had to go and find out how the experienced 3D printer users out there stop their clear, transparent resin prints from looking imperfect and low quality. The trick to 3D printing…
3D printing has gained a lot of popularity in recent times, but people wonder just how expensive or affordable 3D printing is. 3D printing is not expensive and very affordable as you can get a decent 3D printer for around $150-$200 like the Ender 3. The materials you need to 3D print are also relatively…
3D printing with resin can get pretty messy with all the liquids, such as resin and isopropyl alcohol, but people wonder how to properly dispose of it. This article will aim to guide people in the right direction in disposing of resin and other materials involved. To dispose of uncured resin you need to fully…
Resin 3D printing produces amazing quality prints, but what about the cleaning aspect of it? Some people don’t use the best methods of cleaning the resin vat on their 3D printer, so this article will help you in that regard. Ensure you are wearing gloves, disconnect your resin tank from the 3D printer and pour…
The FEP film is a transparent sheet placed in the bottom of the printing VAT between your UV screen and the build plate, that allows the UV rays to enter and cure the resin. With time, the FEP film may get dirty, scratched, cloudy or worse, punctured and you need to replace it. I wondered…
I was sitting here with my Anycubic Photon Mono X resin 3D printer and I wondered whether it’s possible to mix different 3D printer resins together, so I decided to look into it. You can mix 3D printer resins together to change the color or mechanical properties of a 3D printed resin object. Some people…
