Thanks for the vid and I love your responses towards the positive and helpful feedback you received. Ignore the negative ones.

Instead of the plastic scraper, i recommend using a silicone one (for cooking), so you dont scratch the FEP. And Nitril gloves, resin goes through latex ones

Went to your future videos and glad to see you got yourself a proper respirator!

"Without scratching the built plate" Dude that plate is scratched beyond repair 😄 Thanks for the tutorial

So detailed, and you actually talk about safely handling resin! So many beginners are touching resin bare handed and throwing away uncured resin...I have definitely never done that. Small channel to small channel, keep it up!

Even plastic scrapers will still scratch the FEP. The best option would be a silicone scraper. You can get some 2 part silicone from Smooth On, mix up a small amount and then dip the plastic scraper to get a nice smooth silicone skin onto the scraper. Any scratches or smudges on the FEP will scatter the light and effect the quality of the prints. As far as the cleaning goes, I always use a soft brush in the "dirty" bath stage to loosen the resin. I've found that rinsing alone does not break up the resin enough for a full clean. Just my 2 cents.

Looks like a pretty nice workflow but if you’re worried about your health you should really be wearing a respirator mask. Those papery polypropylene masks won’t stop you from breathing in the resin fumes at all. (Even though they sometimes are sent with resin printers) If you can smell resin, you’re not protected. And you won’t see the affects until you’re a couple years down the road.

I really appreciate the detail and watching your basic work flow. This video reminds me though, resin is a real pain in the ass and such a chore. :(

Get a respirator, wear nitril gloves, latex doesn't stop resin. Don't touch the parts of the gloves with which you touched resin with your bare hands (Get them off by your wrist, not by your fingers). Don't touch the paper towel that you used to clean your scraper with your bare hands. Don't use a plastic scraper for your fep, use a silicone spatula. Don't use a butter knife to get your prints off the plate, use a plastic razor. Other than that, great video. I'm especially thankful that you included a part about disposal of water-washable resin. People just touch this stuff and pour it down the drain as it it was dish soap.

hi - hope you know that your partikel mask doesnt filter organic solvent or resin fumes whatsoever! Since resinprinting is so easy anyone rushes into making tutorials! Good job of trying to reduce the messiness when handling chemicals, but you apparently missed out on a few key things regarding ppe!

Im still learning and your vids are great. One thing I've seen is that if you soak them in warm water before removing the excess it makes it more brittle and less likely to damage anything.

Denatured alcohol is superior IMO to iso. Cheaper, lasts longer and does a better job of cleaning the models. Doesn’t evaporate quite as fast but I blow mine off compressed air so really isn’t an issue.

Great video! Looking foward to the next video about suports!

[ButtonBasher]

i have the exact same printer and wash & cure station, just a little tip the wash and cure station lid/cover fits over the printer lid, it saves alot of space

[Jledcustoms]

Thinking of getting into resin printing. (Currently print FDM) this is the most informative video I’ve watched so far in my research, and has definitely made resin printing more appealing.

I do a first clean in a dirty bath and a second clean in a clean bath, with the clean IPA becoming the dirty IPA when needed, but I also spray an ounce of new IPA onto the part and build plate straight out of the printer to remove most of the uncured resin before it contaminates the dirty bath, and I spray the part coming out of the clean bath with new IPA to remove any residue from the clean bath. The IPA dripping off the part from the printer is discarded as it has a very high resin content. The IPA sprayed on the clean part just before air drying and post cure is allowed to drip back into clean IPA tank. I basically use a sprayer and two tanks to do a four step cleaning process.

[MAKEORAMA]

Very well explaind. Thanks for the tipps

[joeboy]

PLEASE wear saftey goggles when working with resin. if it splashes and gets into you eyes, itll be a seriously bad time. also the cloth mask isnt going give you any protection against the chemical fumes.

For such a small channel you have amazing quality!
