Resin printing is what got me into Blender and 3D sculpting! Bringing something digital to life is quite special. Because you need the actual stl or obj files to print things, making kitbashes or modifications to the things you buy to print is quite easy and fun.
No amount of protection is excessive for resin and resin fumes! Use that respirator and get some cartridges rated for Organic Airborne Vapors. (otherwise it's only good for resin dust while filing or cutting) Replace the cartridges as soon as the smell of resin leaks through. Properly ventilate any room with any amount of uncured resin, do not work on anything uncured without gloves. Your body's reaction to the chemicals involved will grow as you handle it more, so what seems fine now won't be fine later.
I cannot stress the value of respirator cartridges and ventilation, I've had a resin printer for ~8 months, and now the smell of uncured resin makes my nose burn for a good 6 hours. Get some thick disposable gloves for the initial wash, nitrile for handling after the wash and cure and for at least a week after. If your wash is dirty, your parts will not be washed properly. Don't leave parts in the wash for more than 5 minutes at a time, do everything you can to make them dry ASAP or you get more warping. Also important is temps, do not print below 20 degrees Celsius. Most pros will either get a vat band or make a heated enclosure.
If you are starting to print hollowed parts (75mm scale or larger, or tanks, or big bases), you will need a smaller UV light source to cure the inside of your parts, or you will need to fill in the holes after washing with glue or a technique called resin welding. You will need holes so your parts do not crack or explode over time (sometimes months, sometimes violently). If you can't fit a light inside, or you don't cap the holes, resin fumes will leak out for as long as uncured resin stays inside. You will want to place holes in a way that allows your wash to easily flow through, and manually run your cleaning solution through it multiple times, or else cleaning is not going to get it clean.
J3DTech has a good guide for resin printing in general. Welcome to the world of 3D printing! Your desk will be covered before you know it.
Lots of useful info thanks 😊
Welcome to the tribe. Pick up a small lunch tray to work on and to transfer the plate to the wash without dripping everywhere, a silicone mat for the printer and one for your work area. Small spray bottle of ISO is useful. The ISO in that wash tub will last you over a year. I print about 5kg of resin a week and don't have to recycle my large wash station for about 5 months. After you wash in ISO, have 2 tubs of warm water. One to wash any remaining ISO off and the next to soak to soften the supports. Now it is safe to remove the supports. If you remove them while the model has uncured resin on it, you will get that uncured resin everywhere (including your face and eyes) in tiny droplets. A resin-ISO mixture in your eye, even tiny droplets, is an unpleasant experience.
Just a few things. I recommend closing the blinds when using UV cure resin (yes you're in the UK but UV light is still present despite clouds). Get a UV torch to cure anything contaminated by resin as you can throw it away afterwards but you can check your local area and see if there's any further regulations i.e. certain recycling available for resin or certain waste bins. With the water used for washing that particular resin you can use natural UV lights by sitting that container outside in the light as this will cause the resin to harden and rise to the top, you can then poor that through a funnel and reuse the water or ipa (if you end up using alcohol based washing resin) you can then expose the mushy resin to some more UV just to make sure it's cured and disposable. If you do end up getting alcohol based washable resin make sure you don't leave it in direct sunlight or UV light as it can bust into flames. Yeah the white marks are a result of not letting the area dry before curing, this is also why there should be little UV lighting in the room as it can cause the prints to have that marking over it before the wash has fully gotten rid of excess resin but there's also something with the chemical breakdown as to why it needs to be dry, speaking of chemical breakdowns, it's also best to shake the resin before tipping into the vat as this makes the resin texture smoother and gets better results, just avoid creating bubbles, also have the room temperature around I think it's 24°c as resin works better when it's at a moderate temperature. I highly recommend a blackout cover for the printer too, as well as getting more FEP's. Slicing wise I'd be curious to know what you use but from what I've seen in ZBrush there's plugins for sending models right to the printer, be interesting to see how that works?
Sorry for the lengthy post. 😬
Congrats on the milestone, you deserve it!
I bought my first 3d printer the beginning of Summer too! Really excited to start printing my own models. But it has been a learning experience! Hang in there, and take your mistakes as what they are, just learning experiences on your road to progress!
So glad you showed your failures! I didn't get my resin on the printer, but yeah pouring back into the bottle is one of the most anxiety enducing experiences now for me so I always print as much as I can of the resin now. The resin trays don't really pour well unless there is only a tiny amount left.
Yeah, getting a metal funnel with insertable mesh sieve was one of the things I got pretty soon after also having spilt some resin on my desk, so that's a good idea.
Also, as others said, a UV flashlight comes in handy for either curing the inside of hollow prints or curing resin on paper towels and such
Seeing how excited you are about it makes me feel that way too 😁😁😁😁... congrats!!! It'll be such a nice tool to expand your reach!
Looks fantastic!
Awesome! Making me excited. Been watching other 3d resin printing videos too. Thanks for sharing Danny. I don't feel that bad now as I haven't opened my first 3d printer, Anycubic m3, for over 3 months😂. Mainly due to no time with 2 jobs and family. But I know one on get started out well be a leaning hurdle to get over. Can't wait. 😬
Que buena adquisicion, te felicito danny!
I'm also thinking a lot about having one at home but living in an apartement makes it very challenging! I have a few solutions but damn its kinda scary reading about it online.. You really want to be as informed and prepared as possible. Good on you for making the jump! Can"t wait to see some of your models printed
Ventilation wise? I saw some guy using a hydroponics grow tent with an exhaust to an air brick. I have no air bricks here but might have a go and exhaust out the window 😊
Pretty cool
Great video man
Awesome Mac! Always love seeing other 3d artists venture into 3d printing.
Out of curiosity, are you aware of what garage kits are? They’re essentially model kits made by hobbyists at home and sold in small quantities for other hobbyists to paint. In recent years, many garage kit modelers have been making the switch to 3d printers for creating prototypes and either sell them as 3d printed kit parts or further refine them to remove 3d printer imperfections (such as layer lines) and then create silicone molds to duplicate them. This is a very common method that Japanese garage kit modelers use and the community is very active on Twitter and TH-cam, most Japanese garage kits are typically anime or of cute girls in general.
Sorry if this explanation was a little messy but regardless I think if the idea of selling 3d prints interests you that it would be cool to check out online garage kits communities! There used to be a subreddit with more information on this but was sadly deleted some time ago. Looking forward to the next video!
Eyyy can't wait to see more about your first personal print, it looks great! That resin spill broke my heart for you though 😂😭
Jen got printed! 😅 wasn't intentional but the way I made her was pretty well suited to printing. Can't recommend spilling resin everywhere though, that wasn't great 😔
@@DannyMac3d haha I can imagine! Looking forward to the next update!
Well done Danny! love this vlog type video as well
Congratulations on the new printer! Do be very careful with resin on your hands and breathing in the fumes. Creating something out of your head onto the computer and being able to hold it in y our hand is amazing.
interesting, hoping for the next part !
Excellent, I just bought a saturn 8k and the same wash and cure station too....I will come on this new journey with you...please post everything!!
You gonna get a Saturn 4 Ultra? They have some amazing features on it!
I haven't watched past the moment you show the water washable resin bottle, just a word of advice : do not wash your prints in the sink, this kind of resin is as toxic as the others, it's just that water can clean your prints, but you still have to keep the tainted water in jars and dispose of it just like any other toxic substance, if you have disposal centers in your neighbourhood.
And I'd highly suggest to use regular resins instead, because water washable has cracking problems over time.
Last piece of advice, if you print hollow, don't use any infill as it'll trap resin inside your prints and it's gonna crack and leak over time.
Now back to the video.
This about the infill. I don't know why, but Lychee slicer does infill on 2D hollowing per default, but it makes it a challenge to drain all resin out and isn't even needed
THANK YOU! I've had prints crack and leak after sitting for some time and I've never known the root cause, I assumed I just hadn't fully cured them
11:54 , a bit of an unasked tip, close the window when you're dealing with resin since the uv light from the sun WILL cure the resin
I'm already into FDM printing for a while now, but now I want to take things to another level with a resin printer. Watching your video made me laugh, imagining myself in your place. I think that my first experiences handling the resin, despite watching a lot of content on line, will be pretty much the same.
One tip regarding the funil is to use a metal funil with a built in strainer That way you can avoid the need of the paper filter.
Looking forward to follow your nexts steps on that. Thanks for the great content.
I do gel manicures so I work with a lot of uv resin in a salon. I have to say I don’t know much about cleansing different types of resins but I use 90% isopropyl alcohol and cotton to cleanse mine. I imagine that would be a lot easier for smaller prints than the cleansing station, but I don’t know for sure. You might want to check it out.
I'll wait till it works like a Star Trek replicator.
I've always had interest in 3D printing, but I'm not sure if buying my own is a good idea or if I'm better off sending it to print, but keep experimenting, I'd like to see some of your sculptures come to life.
I look forward to seeing your future videos! Do you plan on selling your prints? Id love to get a printer, but the one thing stopping me is, as cool as it would be for me to print my work out, I really dont know what id do with them and wouldn't want to end up with an endless amount of plastic figs filling the house.
Tip use a air dryer after your wash then cure
Iv always wanted one my god it would be so cool to be able to make my own props ect! In uni we had two of them one of them another class somehow caught it on fire so you did better then them for your first printer. 🤣
Was also wondering, do you have a pack online with your stylised work for reference? Lost all my reference images afew months ago to a catastrophic PC failure taking my external with it so wondering if you sell art reference an turn around ect :)!
I was thinking about getting one. But I figured that since I've started doing clay sculpture, I don't need to print figurines that I can make myself. And then I decided that I'm a much better digital sculptor than clay sculptor, so now I think I will buy a 3D printer. Eventually.
I am scare to buy one too and go thru the same.
Suggestion: Focus your camera on the "infinite" and deactivate the auto-focus function. Stay safe.
If some one can tell me why all my prints with the washable resin are all starting to break and cracking ould help me so mutch.
It was one of my dreams to have a resin 3d printer so i bought one... just to be disapointed becouse all my 3d prints break and crack so easely using elegoos washable resins. Dident tryed to alcohol ones couse i go disapointed after buying like 5ltrs of water washable ones :|
Btw i dident got a funel... i got a cocacola bottle cutted up xD
try eco-resin, much easier
I'll look into it thanks 😊
so...at some point you gonna paint your own figures ;)? and btw whats the cost of this operation ?
Absolutely! Going the whole hog 😁
Costs are very variable, what exactly do you want to know cost of?
@@DannyMac3d oh just a general idea to start anything on your own XD did have one of my models printed was around 30 usd for 12 cm white resin figure years ago just wondering how it looks today.
Out of pure love for the channel. The pacing and storytelling of this video was not great. "If you are wondering why the music changed. You're about to find out." With two sentences you've killed all the suspense of this moment and it was probably one of the only interesting moments of the video.
One reason I clicked on the video was because I wanted to see you attempt to slice and print your own model to only be left with a "to be continued".
I think this content could be very exciting and interesting. I encourage experimentation and change within the channel. I'm excited to see what the future holds for the 3D printing videos.
Brutal, but appreciated. Was it really the only part you found interesting? 😟 taken the words on board. I did intend to include the character in this video but I also desperately wanted to stick to my self imposed deadline of posting today and just ran out of time. It'll be in the next!
@DannyMac3d Hey man if your deadline is self imposed. Take the time to make something great. Theres millions of youtube videos. Viewers have enough content to watch until they die. Theyre not waiting on you to upload. If you feel this urge to "stay relevant" making a couple lack luster videos won't achieve that.
Obviously, everything I say is opinion, and you ultimately have to decide what is worth taking and what is not.
This video as of right now is a glorified unboxing video. The premise and pitch at the beginning of the video is "To spice up the channel I bought a 3d printer". What are your plans with the 3D printer? How will this affect your 3D characters? Why should us as a viewer care about you owning a 3d printer?
If the pitch of the video is "I bought a 3d printer heres the beginning of this journey." Take us further back. Was this the only printer you were thinking about buying? Did you look into PLA vs Resin? I ran into these problems as a beginner this is how I learned from it (which is what you did with the discoloration)
Understand why youre making a video. Understand why we should care about the video. Little cheat code: film the video then film the intro so you can form your pitch around the story you know is going to happen.
I believe in you. Experimentation sometimes goes bad but we iterate and we improve. Cant wait to see the follow up video.❤
Sidenote: Dont delete videos it screws up the algorithm of your channel.
Rabbithole....
Clickbait with thumbnail. Oh dude...
Honestly I had intended to have the character in the video but it was a rush job this morning to finish the edit and post. That's why it cuts so suddenly to me ending the video. I have taken this on board as feedback for future videos though
