Resin question

When you use anycubic green you get great translucent figures.
How can you keep em translucent? as soon as you clean em in IPA or post Cure under UV they turn opaque?

Has anyone changed the uv led cooling fan for something a bit quieter? If so recommendations please ?

Är det någon som vill komma igång med ett komplett startkit så har jag en annons ute på blocket nu, AP printer, ultraljudsbad, uv-lampa, fläkt etc. Det går bra att kontakta mig vid frågor.

Sorry for the swedish introducton. For different resons I sadly dont have the time to print anymore, and my Photon is just collecting dust atm. I have an ad out for it now and thought I spread the word in this awsome group.
If this isn´t ok by any means Ill ofc remove the text.

Tried the PowerCast Burn castable resin from Powerresins. I like that it doesn’t need UV post curing. In fact, the tech support person said that it is not recommended to expose the print to UV. Just a rinse with 95% ethanol (the tech support lady also said no IPA to rinse either).

I’m happy with the detail at 35 microns. I didn’t think the mill grain in this model would show but it did (the ring is size 6.5)! Took a little over 4 hr to print. I found out from the first prototype that I need to change the orientation and position of the supports, as a few of them kind of messed up with some elements of the design.

I prototype mostly with Anycubic UV ECO resin but I’ve been itching to try this castable resin from Powerresins. It’s a bit expensive but if I can get this level of detail, then is worth the investment.

My IPA curing ordeal: Okay, so I got myself a 72W UV nail station, but like with sun curing I still only get white goop instead of cured microflakes that I could easily filter out. Filtering the goop through a coffee filter gives me yellow IPA. It just doesn't seem to go clear anymore, is that normal? Any difference in using this IPA compared to "fresh" clear IPA for cleaning prints? (Resin used was Anycubic green which came with the printer!)

I'm totally new to this, so I apologize for being an idiot... I'm using Monoprice Rapid UV Gray with a regular Photon.

The Google sheet says 20 seconds exposure. I did a few miniatures, and wasn't terribly impressed with the detail.

Reading through here definitely had me suspecting overexposure... so I decided to run the Monocure test print at 15 seconds as a baseline, and I think it looks pretty damn good. Should I screw around doing tests at higher and lower exposures, or just try printing models at 15 seconds instead of 20 seconds, and see what happens?

Thanks in advance! ?

Need some advice.

My prints even after cleaning are incredibly sticky. There's almost no chance that it's residual resin because after a wash in cleaner, I'm curing these things overnight and then hit it even more with my UV flashlight for a good minute or two up close just to be thorough.

I'm assuming that it's the cleaner I'm using that's making it so sticky. I'm using the Mean Green that Uncle Jessey on Youtube recommended and a sonic cleaner (I saw the video about the heater and yes I'm no longer filling the tub with mean green or leaving the unit plugged in) but for now I'm just trying to make it not sticky.

I'm also driven to think it's the left over cleaner that's sticky because AFTER I cleaned it I thought "Okay it's safe to touch" and after handling it a bit, the skin on the tips of my fingers started to flake off a bit. A telltale sign that you're touching heavy-duty cleaning solutions. (Wearing gloves until I KNOW that it's clean now)

I've tried warm soap and water, cold water, washing it with IPA. Nothing seems to get this thing to not be super sticky.

I'm considering not using the green stuff anymore and switching back to 99% IPA. Give me your experiences/suggestions

需要一些建議.

打掃後我的指紋也非常粘. 幾乎不可能是殘留樹脂, 因為在清潔洗衣機洗完後, 我將整晚修補這些東西, 然後用我的紫外線更近一分鐘或兩分鐘.

我假設它是我使用的清潔劑使它變得如此粘. 我使用jessey叔叔在youtube上推薦的卑鄙綠色和一個聲波清潔器(我看到了關於加熱器的視訊, 是的, 我不再是, 我不再用粗糙的綠色或離開單元插上), 但現在我只是嘗試 讓它不粘.

我也被驅使認為是左邊的清潔劑很粘, 因為清理乾淨後, 我覺得"好吧, 它 是 安全 的", 處理一下, 手指上的面板開始脫掉了. 有點. 一個告訴你正在觸控重型清潔解決方案的跡象. (戴著手套直到我知道現在乾淨了)

我試過溫暖的肥皂和水, 冷水, 用ipa一起洗. 似乎沒有甚麼能讓這東西變得超級粘.

我正在考慮不再使用綠色的東西, 並切換回99 % ipa. 給我你的經驗/建議

Hello Guys,

so i kinda lost the overview about what firmware is for what photon and so on.

I know i got an original Photon (got it over a year ago).

Whenever i turn the machine on i have to check wether the display works or not. For that i have to remove the vat and to the UV test over and over again.
It NEVER works on the first try and i have to restart the machine atleast 10-15 times until it works.

Can anyone tell me what Firmware is the best solution for that?
Btw. i already changed the mainboard as i thought it was broken and anycubic sent me a new one. This hasnt changed anything.

Calling all users of Monocure 3D Rapid Grey Resin!!!

I have been printing perfect prints using Prima Creator Value UV Resin Tough Light Grey on the Photon S but now I'm trying with the Monocure one but I'm having issues.

The print comes out OK but with a serious lack of detail on the side of the model facing the supports.

The other side is fine with good details but the side facing the supports almost looks like it's melted making the finished model almost useless.

Hope somebody out there has got some good tips on how to solve the issue so I can get though the Monocure Resin and go back to Prima Creator :P
