- In this video i explore the idea of making screen printing screens using my elegoo 3D Printers. Customizing my clothing is one of my favorite forms of self expression and with this new technique in my toolbox i'm sure i’ll have tons of screen printing in my near future.

Very clever! In theory you could also use the printer to cure the photosensible sheet used in screen printing so no resin is needed. Instead of a transparent sheet with the design to mask the photosensible sheet, you would show the design in the printer screen. Then you would wash away the uncured parts as usual. This way no liquid is involved in the process of fixing the image so you don't need to put the frame inside the vat of the printer. You just place the frame directly on the printer screen.
ill try this with a premade frame you can buy, dont see a reason to print it at all :D
@@Insane_Kane you need a frame that allows you to put the silk screen touching the LCD screen. In the traditional way this is not necessary because the LCD screen is replaced with a transparency print placed on top the silk screen. You would still need the silk screen flat on top of the fabric to spread the ink so I believe this requisite is met, but check it first.
I took a screen printing class. We used a 2d printer to print the image in black and white, whet it with some kind of oil and spread something that gets hard with light on a screen. We put the paper on the coated screen and then exposed it to bright light then washed it and the areas where the printed image blocked the light washed away. Then we used that to print images.
Super creative use of the printer!
Very clever use of 3D printing.
Thanks for watching!

combining crafts is something I love. if I get a resin printer I will try this out
Love definitely going to try this
Right on! Love this idea, thanks for sharing it!
Excellent job, great that you put in such a big effort to save the wood
What a fantastic idea aqnd the finished results were excellent.
This is genius. I can’t wait to try this.
I was a screen printer as a kid. I’ve been doing this occasionally for a few years. But differently than you. Just staple the screen to a frame, make a b&w transparency. Coat the screen in old resin you don’t need. Put the transparency on the top of some glass. Put the frame on top of the transparency. Then expose from the bottom. Easy peezey
You should definitely make more videos like this, this was very enjoyable! 😊
Agree! 💯
this is insanely cool!
i love the idea of using the printer, but i'm interested to know if you did the same thing but with actual screen emulsion instead of resin how well it would work.
Now I wanna try that
There are screen machines that do this
@@TimFleenor oh, the price will be 3x or 2x what your 3d printer cost, but yes there is the tools to easy out to screen print
Impressive, most impressive
Good idea I might try it one day
This is genius. Well done!
Great work, keep it up!!!!
Nice Job. Very cool and creative
Very cool! In the past I also tried something similar (fine mesh stencils but with FDM). Unfortunately it didn't work very well. But your experiment was very successful. Congrats!
I had an idea like this about a month or two ago but I would've tackled it another way. But nevermind your way is so much easier and more streamlined.
Great Idea and very good work on all of it! Love to see the different uses of a 3d printer! :)
I think you could re-purpose an old LCD 4K TV for this purpose.
Even the first test print that was even is pretty cool. Almost a design feature :) "Worn"
It's very amazing! You the best, i recent video all my friends who have same printer.
Ive had the same idea like year ago. Spoke to my friend who own the sewing company but never tryed. I think it would easy work with the wood frames and the fabric stapped to the frame at the bottom. Like 10-15 screens each H easy made.
Very cool! How many times can a single screen be used?
*Correction* - 0.05mm isn't half a millimeter. It's 5/100ths of a millimeter.
Awesome video!
Just a tip, add tiny (2-3mm) feet on the under-side of the frame. This will create a gap between the mesh and the textile which means that as you squeegee the ink through the mesh, the mesh lifts up from the already printed parts and won't stick into the paint that sits on top of the textile. This helps making sharper corners and when you are done with the print it makes removing the frame safer and easier.
I used to do screen-printing in the old fashioned way and I did this by taping toothpicks or shashlik sticks on the under side of the frames.
Great video! 'Nuff said
great idea, thanks for the upload and STLs. Please add dimensions to Printables details.
i prefer a silicone spatula for resin vat scraping, i found the stock hard yellow plastic one abrasive
Very cool
WOW !!!! It´s fantastic !!!
Good job
Shout out to @GetHandsDirty seen here doing screen printing! It's a great channel about custom tiny apartment rebuild.
I've watched this video many times to get the details down, I'm having an issue with getting the resin to stick solidly to the screen itself. Any tips? The screen mesh is taught and flat, and upping exposure to even 50 seconds results in a print I can pull away easily from the screen mesh in a couple of pieces. Can't wait to start using this for screen printing, thanks for the video!!!
Holy cr@p, now there is something else I need to try to do! So many projects in my head, so little time!! 😅
When you apply the ink, the screen is not actually touching the fabric/paper/...
The rubber squeegee pushes it down on a bit it with the ink and it lifts/peels off as it goes, so you don't end up with the screen stuck with the ink on your shirt.
I used to apply some spray glue to hold the fabric down so it didn't move along with the squeegee.
But I guess 3D printed frames for screens wouldn't be rigid enough to apply that much force on them.
I wonder if you could airbrush through the screen you made?
well that's a fine mesh you've created !! lol
Awesome!
Thanks!
Question, could you instead lay the screen directly on the print screen and then drop the build plate for the resin printer directly onto the mesh, holding it against the build plate (you'd have to set a new zero) and then run just one layer? You could even do it in the slicer software, do your solid model only the thickness of one layer then just have your "base" exposure be as long as you want. Then after it comes out put it in the frame.
I was thinking make a frame that snaps onto the build plate that has the screen on it and then go for it
@@natemartin9283 that'd be interesting. then make a second frame to go on the shirt to index the frames, so you can do multiple colors
you need a FEP layer between the screen and the mesh, otherwise you'd never get the cured resin off the screen and it would drip into the printer guts. could be a single oversized sheet instead of the tank's sheet though
@@TheRealPlato I assumed it was obvious you'd have the vat installed as normal and have the screen on top of the FEP sheet, then level your build plate with the screen in place, so it doesn't push the screen into the LCD panel. Then when you do your cure you only need to do 1 base layer. The best would be if you had a WhamBam, since you could just flex the plate and peal the screen off.
yeah like a tight fitting embroidery screen frame @@natemartin9283
Great vídeo, sure I am goin tô try when buy my printer.
Have you ver try some similar to do the solder mask on a PCB?
Greatings from Brazil
This is great, how did you import the image to expose as a screen without the head of the printer running?
I'm also curious about this step!
Fusion doesn't like complex sketches. To make it easier extrude a flat rectangle, then extrude one hole (either as new body or cut) and then use a pattern on the extruded hole (either feature or the body; for the latter you'll need to do a combine cut after). This is you mesh. You then just cut your pattern directly into the mesh. If you want to clean up edges, use outline on the sketch, extrude new body, then combine join.
We got an update on fusion yesterday I don't know if that'll help somewhat but I'm having issues with the rotation gizmo on mine it's just spinning my model now never used to happen maybe this update has fixed this? I've not been on today as yet
Fry liked your logo.
🚀
Can be done with fdm printer too
I might have missed it, but what kind of paint/ink did you use? Does it have to be a special paint/ink for silk screening?
Standard screen printing ink. The manufacturer shown in the video was Speedball.
Looking at it, the frame from the bottom of the vat of any of the Saturn series of printers would have worked well, rather than the 3d printed frame. Might have been more of a pain to use, though.
Love it. Inspired me to buy a resin printer.
Congratulations on the new printer 🥳
Screen printers everywhere cringing 😂 great video
Awesome.... 300 iq
not half a mm at a time, but 1/20th mm per layer. .05x20=1mm
At first I thought you were going to use UV cured resin instead of paint on the clothes 😂
What about not using the printer? Like, using the resin as the screen print emulsion.
What a great use for a 3D printer.
Вауууу,красава!)
I don't know what kind of gloves you're using, but I'm not sure there are non-disposable gloves that are truly resistant to resin. It seems like a waste to keep using disposable ones, but nitrile gloves are the only ones you can be sure resin won't be leaching through due to being more resistant to chemicals.
Perhaps silicone gloves work? Nothing sticks to it, so that makes it ideal for working with resin, I'm just not sure that it's resistant to resin to the extent that it will prevent any pass-through.
Can't you skip a resin step and use 1-2 small fdm layers?
hot print head would probably tear and melt that mesh? maybe some combination of very low melting point filament and high temperature mesh tightened to the max and trying to adjust printing height so that it doesn't tear. quick search turned out aluminium and pet meshes. maybe even the latter could handle it if used with some low melting point pla or such. also some glue which you can rinse away (maybe water soluble) could help keep the mesh down and intact. or maybe just print a stencil, maybe use it with a mesh over to keep things down and in place, although that would limit what you can print.
This seems like screen printing with extra steps. Also you can get into screen printing for like $300 for everything you need if you go with budget stuff. The cost of a Jupiter is about $1k but i guess if you already have it... mught be easier to print a frams for the mesh and use emulsion and the Jupiter to cure it instead of messing around with toxic resin.
🤯
not me being disappointed he didn't dunk the shirt in the vat
Your voice in this video reminds me of Evan from VanossGaming lol
It’s the Canadian accent haha 😉
Not a bad idea, but vinyl cutter seems to be a much better and easier solution.
.05 is not half a milimiter. at .05 it takes 20 passes to make 1mm
You may be onto something here...
As a former serigrapher everything about your process made me cringe. Bot wow, it worked after all! And it stood up to at least 2 pulls … you may have a winner here.
Seems a lot of pointless faff when there's tried and tested ways that are quick, easy and cheap. You can still use the LCD idea but just use a standard printing frame and emulsion.
couldn't you have just fdm printed the design onto the mesh and saved all the resin?
1:29 - fusion is ok with older computers the problem it is cloud based and has become slower by the years as more ppl are using it, better to use not cloud-based subscription free CAD
I assume this could easily done with any screen. 3D printer is not needed.
Most screens don't emit UV light and aren't designed for resin to sit on top of them.
Did the footage just show that other dude wash off UNCURED RESIN into a standard faucet, putting it back into the water supply ?
I hope I'm wrong and he has a collecting system under there ...
I think this is common practice for photo emulsion. I don’t think it has the same environmental effects as photopolymer resins. I could be wrong tho!
Like contaminated IPA there isn't much you can do with it once it's contaminated I collect my used IPA but the only options are to bin it so landfill maybe burning or sewage!!
Personally I put mine in the bin because I don't think it's good to dump contaminated ipa into the sewage system..
@@printitpaintit.2436 I keep contaminated IPA in a bucket so it settles.
Once settled, extract the clean IPA from the top of the bucket for reuse
The rest at the bottom of the bucket, you put get it to UV (lamp for a minute or the sun for a few hours)
Once that is stable, THEN you can bin it
If you cannot get it stable, deposit it in a waste disposal thing where they have a "chemical" sections
If you want to use UV resin you first need to learn how to clean it ...
@@GregorifElfeNoir I know how to clean it and you can only reuse is a few times even after letting it settle in the sun for a week it's still sticky.. After a few weeks it's useless but we print 24/7 across multiple large printers and go through 10L of resin like it's water, definitely couldn't be dumping 8L+ every few weeks into sewage!
In the UK most rubbish that is not recycled is taken directly to the local waste centre and burnt the same day, I think burning is better than going through a treatment plant and then local rivers..
dont put chemicals down the drain like these folks showed.....
This seems like the most overcomplicated and inefficient way of making a screen.
fckin cool!
