Are 3D printed parts (and bottles) watertight? 💦 #nexa3d #xip #mSLA #watertight #3dprinting

Remember to use food-safe material if you intend to drink from a 3d printed container. Don’t want to poison yourself…

I wouldn’t drink anything that’s come in contact with resin plastic

[Its-Tim]

For food safe stuff, sand the print, apply a food safe finish. It’ll help with sealing and it’ll make it less likely to trap food or moisture between layers

[schurikn]

It's caused by settings, try higher temperatures. And maybe try the mesh fixer

[stevenrais]

I pressure tested manifolds that I printed at home for my work's ink system. Held pressure for hours at 150psi. Resin kicks ass at this type of thing

I've got several vase-mode water tight items, in PLA - mostly smaller vials things to keep my plants hydrated. No leaks thus far, despite the 1 wall.

If you're going to store water for drinking make sure that you are using food safe material

[ThatJay]

there's ways to get it watertight. like having thicker walls, higher temps for better layer adhesion, and printing in vase mode. Ive printed completely watertight out of PETG.

Nice hamilton auto field watch, best part of the video!

[thelastfablefenix]

amazing idea, can save a lot and eventually when we recycle other plastics we could find a way to make recycled resin anything for common use

[xileducky]

Try putting soda and a lid and do a tiny shake for a pressure test

[conmantheoriginal]

Quick tip if you want water tight prints i recommend taking a look at Salt annealing

[andrewtucker]

Love your watch, bro. Hamilton is what i rock on the daily, as well.

[comradewhitmoyer]

Nice Hamilton I’m going to be saving up for one

[kanncentric_fb]

Hey I love your Hamilton khaki field! One of my favorite time pieces!!

[RoseKindred]

People complaining about safety, but that was not the point of this, just if it was watertight. This is a good experiment for practical use, such as finding out which material to use for house plants or even desktop fountains.

Use ironing on classic filament printers to make them watertight

[mgburrito]

You can achieve a watertight print by increasing temp, line width, flow rate (by like 5%), layer height, and decreasing speed. This is the key to watertight prints. It also helps if you dont have a flexible filament

[Linkus_]

You can easily make the tpu tight, just decrease layer thickhness and and increase temperature maybe make the inner walls thicker

[largebills]

That's a nice Hamilton you have there 😎👍
