In addition to a uv light inserted into the hollow model, I’ve had great success curing parts in my cure station submerged in water as the water reflects the light through the drain holes.

The first print I ever made (Mandalorian about 12" tall) I didn't know about drain holes...until several months later during hot weather when the base platform broke open and liquid resin poured everywhere on my desk! Lesson learned. I mean it POPPED that base wide open. Huge cracks. 😦

Bro, I’m a 5 axis aero space CNC machinist. Your videos really help me. Thank you!

Just started into resin printing and the hurdle was the curing but the box idea helps a lot, super ghetto but effective. Awsome video thanks!

Another thing I do that has really reduced resin in my IPA is airbrushing the outside of model before wash. I was shocked how much came off onto paper towels. I use the same battery electric airbrush you tested on the channel to do it. Also just to be on the safe side for resin inside the model I bought a little uv flashlight and I shine it in the holes. Better safe than sorry. Thanks for the vid.

Looking to get into printing and this helped so much! Just wanted to know how to properly clean and you have so many useful tips on so many ends! Great video

[InterstellarModeler]

your tips have been very helpful. I had some prints crack on me, particularly when I used water washable resin. Now I'm wondering if the issue was due to the walls being too thick and not using the infill technique that you have demonstrated in your videos (vs it being the actual product). Thanks again for sharing this great info. Will let my subscribers know of your channel when I get a chance.

Thank you for this ME cast - we love you!

Fantastic info. I'm so excited to progress into resin printing.

[AslanAtreyu]

Great video! I'm considering on exclusively using clear resin so any trapped resin can cure inside the model.

[Shinthaw]

Great video, thanks.

I have been thinking of buying a curing station but they are very expensive like you say, so I'm definitely going to make my own with an old tub and foil like you have.

Awesome Video Man, I'm new to the Hobby and I was not hollowing out my prints--Them suckers were HEAVY!!!! LOL Keep the videos coming!

[bigphillyed]

New sub, thanks for the videos, learning a lot. Coming from the FDM side, I really want to just print, not sure if I want to paint. But is there a good possibility of selling the prints on etsy, ebay, etc? I know I'm not going to get rich, just want to cover my costs. Really digging your videos, thanks.

Phrozen just released a uv laser for internal curing and a light putty. I can’t wait to get it.

One thing I have noticed that no one seems to talk about is the actual cure time and how much it can change depending on the resin type. For example, I was using the Elegoo 8k resin and for a 6 inch figure, it would take almost 20 minutes to fully cure. Now I use Sunloo Standard Grey, and it takes about 10 minutes to fully cure. (using the Elegoo Mercury Plus station)

very clear to understand, thank you and have a nice day🥰

[raginggamer]

My god you just reminded me to start my paint log 😂. I have 15 prints to paint haha

[genejordan]

Great help. I’m new to this and still learning. Great video

[RUFFENSTEINT]

where you place the drain hole is very important, it can completely cause a print to get all rugged uneven look starting at where the hole line would be.

Thanks for the tips. Being new to the hobby your and other's videos have been invaluable. My prints are getting better and better.
