- Resin 3d printing, what is it? How does it work? Why should you care? We cover all the basic of resin based printing. Also called SLA or MSLA printers use a fundamentally different use of technology than filament based printers. Liquid Photopolymer resin is used as the material instead of PLA or ABS plastic. Then the LCD screen below the liquid bath selectively blocks UV lights from shining into the polymer. This solidifies instantly and makes one layer! Those layers stack upon each other just like a "Normal" 3d Printer!

The fact that this was already 1 years old and resin 3D printer is just going mainstream today shows how important and timeless this video is, i don't know if you gonna read this bro but i'm quite sad that you only got 6.6k subs with such an informative channel, This is an amazing channel that the few appreciates.
When I looked up how resin 3d printers worked this was the first result. I was cool to hear you guys are somewhere in Edmonton as well.
Cool! Good to hear from you.
Same.
Listening from calgary
same but medicine hat! quite a drive but still, berta
I'm curious about this because all the videos I've seen make it look like there's just like a pool of liquid and then all the sudden somehow the whatever it is just starts coming out of it which doesn't make any sense versus the other ones which are easy to comprehend.
You guys explained this really well.
Thanks for stopping by!
Literally looks like magic so I needed a detailed explanation.
I think you're confusing it with that scene from Terminator II.
@@gunslinger2989 hahahaha 😂
The lcd acreen is what i was missing. I always wondered how the uv light only shines on the relevant areas of each layer. Makes perfect sense now.
This is a VERY helpful video for learning the differences between FDM and Resin 3D printing! I had heard of resin printing, but didn't really know anything about it. Not only is this a great, interesting, and informative video on 3D printing, but were I in the market or wanting to get into 3D printing, I'd want to watch this video. Very helpful and interesting... and yes, I think he's earned another month's rent ;)
As a new convert to resin, there are water washable resins now. No need for IPA and we get the water washable resin around $25 per kg. Ofc the dirty water is toxic and need to be left on the sun for the resin remnants to harden. Also we have to cure the supports before we dispose them.
One minute & 24 seconds in and I’m already liking and subscribing!
That closed captioning is bananas
I just figured out about these printers, had to look up how it worked, that's absolutely genius!
It it pretty awesome. Thanks for stopping by!
I've had that exact printer sitting in my Amazon cart for about 2 years. Someday I'll justify getting it! :-)
It's me, your consciousness, you deserve it after how amazing you've been doing lately
Heyyy treat yourself! Don't let that turn into more years! You deserve this!
It’s on sale for $135 today
Excellent tutorial for people like me who are familiar with FDM printers but know nothing about the resin printers. Well done!
You explain this so well I understood it like a light switch went on now I completely 100% understand exactly how this works and that's crazy
Thank you. That was the best explanation I have read/seen about 3d resin printing.
I know nothing about 3D printing but your explanation are very easy to understand and helpful. Thanks a lot 👍
I have a 3d printer coming in and I already made resin related things. But I feel like the part you said was difficult I already experienced in my rain craft so I dont feel so intimidated by the machine. I'm excited to use it to make figures of my artwork
Thanks! Very informative and helped push me over that resin printing line.
Awesome, I am glad you enjoyed it!
Fell down a rabbit hole & ended up here. Super informative thank you ❤
It also depends for what you're going to print. For example, I personally bought a 3D printer to print parts for DIY projects etc. So I don't really care a whole lot about super fine prints like a resin printer can do. A 0.2MM nozzle is more than fine enough for me. Also resin printers are usually pretty small as for the bigger printer you want, the bigger LCD display in the printer etc which brings the cost up dramatically. However for people who more want to print figurines or other art related stuff, or in general where fineness plays a really big factor, I can really see the value of a resin printer.
Hi
Wondered about this and this vid answered all my questions, cheers :D
My question is why can't you scale it up? Couldn't you just have a larger pool of resin? Or is the main problem gravity, since the model is being lifted out of the bath upside down, like you said, a huge resin printer would have a super heavy model and it wouldn't successfully keep sticking to the bed upside down? Is that it?
stumbled across the video and I am also an alberta man and I got very excited when I realized you guys were local! (3 degrees and a million billion dollars later given to the u of A for tuition; I miss having roommates and being a student. Enjoy it all boys! )
If you're not going to print anything for a while, do you need to drain the tank? Or can you leave the fluid in the tank until the next time you print?
Thanks for the explanation it was clear and concise.
Glad it was helpful!
It's almost like how stalactites gets formed in caves! Very cool!
That is what I was thinking when I watched them form as well.
Very informative and entertaining. Thank you
Glad you enjoyed it!
thanks for your valuable knowledge
I love it this is the best video I've seen so far on slr but I was waiting till the last second of the video for you to actually use the machine lol
That is so freaky! I never would have guessed it printing upside down!
It really made me think about the movie Small Soldiers ... in the intro of the movie, they print out toys, do you think it was this technology? Was it available at the time ? My memories may be a little bit unclear due to the time i've seen the movie... but i'll definitely go back to watch the scene ..
Thanks for explaining this.
Only video that I actually understood lol
Great explanation on the resin printing process. It's been badfling me for a while.
Thank you so much for this informative video.
Great video. Im new to all of this and everyone assumes everybody knows all the terminology.
If you show this video to anyone 20 years ago, they'd think resin 3D printing is magic. It's pretty incredible how technology has progressed.
if the light shines up from under the resin tray, then how does the layer get hardened if the light has to shine through the tray of resin
Very interesting! Nice to see Mr J Hoven.
Glad you enjoyed it!
if resin printers werent so small and expensive i would 100 percent get one they are awesome
Awesome video. Liked and subscribed! How do you get smooth surfaces on SLA resin prints?
Honestly, the best way to smooth them is sandpaper. Slowly getting finer and finer grit. A faster method that doesn't work quite as well is to find a high-quality filler/primer spray can that works on plastic. It filled small gaps fairly well.
Lots of great info .👍
Hi I’m just getting into 3D printing and I’ve been looking to create a small product with a LED light inside of it. It sounds like this process would be much more complex after watching your video. Are there any tips or ways to move forward with this idea? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
I have an ended 5 plus prints like crap. Your 5 pro print looks amazing. Please help me figure mine out. The esteps are set flow set temp set speed set and level. Just can’t get much to look good at all. Think my cuts profile sucks.
Thank you for explaining ^-^
Happy to help!
How much weight does the resin material support? theres some pros and cons about it?
Great review thank you
Questions - What kind of files are compatible? What software do you need to create a file? Can you use files from thingiverse or are the files for resin printers unique?
Pretty much any STL file is compatible. You just need to remember to add a few extra supports for resin as opposed to FDM.
Please could you tell me is printing with resin at home poisonous with time and will affect the health? Also which fdm printer is the fastest but stil offers nice details when print? Thank you.
I just found out about these. Now I need to save up for both kinds.
As someone who works with epoxy resin, I’m very curious if the resin used in these printers lets off any unfriendly chemicals. Does it omit any hazardous fumes while it’s sitting in the printer or while it’s being cured?
No the smell is minimal the same as uv gel for nails
Love this video! Also, what brand of lapel mics are you using?
Thanks for watching! We use the Rode video mic go system :)
@@DestructiveCreativity Awesome! Keep up the great work, love the channel!
Can you suggest a type of UV resin to 3D print a GoPro mount? Thanks!
Great vid, thanks!
Great explanation
How suitable is this printer/resin for lost was casting? Will it burn off like wax does? Is there a specialized wax resin that is more suitable for using this printer for lost wax casting?
Also, how can you calculate the material losses when you empty the resin reservoir back into the bottle?
Thank you so much bro
Exactly what I was looking for! Great video! I didn't know about the potential allergy so def steering clear of this now, don't need to get more EpiPens haha
Thanks for watching! I definitely agree.
how big of area do you need and where should you keep
Ok, that's insane technology. I'm almost always blissfully unaware of how much technological advancements we make annually because I don't understand it. But, over time I pick up things here and there, and they're always so shocking to learn about.
Is that the printer which industry uses for making 3d printer molds ?
Great video.
5:48 you mention that resin prints are "faster, stronger and more detailed"
I'm not sure about stronger, if you check Thomas Sanladerer's channel I think he tested resin vs filament and found that filament prints are almost always mechanically stronger then resin prints, usually by quite a lot.
crazy coincidence I'm using that same toothbrush
For real though what a great informative video 💯💯💯
Nice, Thanks for stopping by!
I finally searched, "how does a resin 3D printer work", and decided to pick this video because of the gentlemen's lab coat.
Thanks for stopping by. :) I have worn out a few of those coats over the years.
Really good video!
Thanks!
hey where can i find the model of kraken at 4:12? thanks
So, its photo emulsion similar to silk screen printing? Fascinated by that screen...would revolutionize the silk screen process. Instead of printing negative images and blocking light statically, that screen would allow me to change images in an instant! Where could I buy a screen like that?
Fascinating idea! The screens can be purchased from most 3D printing suppliers, but I would suspect there are some problems that would need to be overcome. You have piqued my interest to be sure.
@@DestructiveCreativity I'm a full time business owner and an engineering student which will make finding time my biggest obstacle but I have begun sourcing materials and designs. I will keep you updated if you'd like!
@@foxtree4255 That would be amazing. I don't think I've heard of an application quite like that!
so cool!
So essentially a resin printer is for smaller more detailed pieces where as a fillament is more for bigger, not so detailed ones? Iv seen people print in pieces just to glue it together when the pieces are all done too
Good video if you were on TV. Feels to produced.
So you say that the resin printings is faster (I would say that I agree if you only include the printing part and not the cleaning and recurring)
GOOD VIDEO MAN
Can it print moving parts?
That's very interesting agreement ; )
How long does it take?
I personally like pla printer but these are cool
So the screen doesn't show the parts of the models piece by piece to make the print?
I'll try and answer all your questions here, there are two different screens, one small control panel that gives you information, and one larger, horizontal screen that blocks UV light selectively to harden the resin. The higher the resolution of that screen, the more details possible to print. And to a certain extent it can print moving parts. (a wheel on an axle for example) Let me know if you would like more clarification!
Is Resin prints waterproof?
Yes
these machines are wicked
Right? Thanks for watching.
@@DestructiveCreativity i shot you a sub as well! very informative video!
I got a 3d printer and there was way too many complications and factors that made me not wanna use it. One print would come out fine. I wouldnt touch a thing the next a complete mess. This looks way better
I came wanting to know how Resin 3d printing works. Now I want to know about Tree-D printing to..
What printer is that exactly?
I saw this one time and was very curios how the liquid turned into a print so now I know
Can i print small gears in it of size 10 mm and 20 mm
Yes absolutely, but if you are designing the gears yourself, you can expect lots of trial and error as you play with different settings.
Awesome.
Thanks for watching!
Why do you need supports for this kind of printer if it's printed upside down?
As luck would have it, I need someone to help me sort out a 3D Systems SLA iPro 8000 printer here in Edmonton. Maybe Joseph is looking for a part-time job and can help us out.
Hey Anthony, I'd be interested!
Why does the resolution of the screen matter if it doesn't show the actual image on the screen
Each pixel of light is curing the resin, higher pixel density = more thorough printing. I would assume
>FDM modeling
Don't forget to back up your DVD disks on your HDD drive.
In like 5 to 10 years, Resin 3d would be the new plastic filiment 3d printing that's seen today. Probably
I agree, the age of FDM will pass.
I still dont understand completely. If the light is what hardens the material wouldn't you need need physical blockers in the tank depending on what you are making? Like if you are printing the structure for a open faced cube. You have the base with 4 pillars that would be the walls that I get but when you print the top of the cube then part of the cube you dont want resin is exposed to light also. Or better yet a dumb bell? When it started to print the handle wouldn't all the resin between the tops of the weights be exposed to the light? Also if you have to be careful of uv light how do the UV light refractions not mess up the print? The red Hogwarts looked really transitive and I can only imagine how much light refractions the was giving off to surrounding resin even with the base light restricted
You're right that the resin is clear, in the visible spectrum anyway. The resin absorbs UV light and uses it to form bonds that solidify the resin, Because of this, the resin is actually extremely opaque to UV light at the 355-410nm range so bleedthrough is not really a problem.
It's a really cool machine but not gonna lie the resin itself is even cooler imo
When you've got to stretch the video for ads you make your point in 2 minutes and repeat it for 5
Yes, but how big is a pixel?
cool
U guys are charming! Keep it upp
Thanks for stopping by!
This is..very funny to watch in 2023, because i've been watching doll customizing channela since 2018 and they been using resin 3d printers to incredible results?? And even tho you cant necessarily scale up a solid piece, you can print of much larger parts and then put them together.
Also if you cant get whatever brand's curing machine, just get a uv nail lamp and put it on top of some aluminum foil and you are all the way good
Why are the only subtitles available auto-vietnamese?!
Good question! Honestly, Google's auto caption service thinks I am speaking Vietnamese. I have no idea why, and they can't fix it...
i feel hatchbox and pla both made the price comparison seem worse than it is
Pretty sweet technology. Someday we will ssy "computerbrain print my breakfast utensils and you toss in an old pop bottle and it turns it into whatever you want and when you get done u turn it into something else and so on FOR EVER 😆😆
So how does it actually mechanically work?
why were the subtitles nothing to do with the audio?
I have no idea... Google consistently thinks I am speaking Vietnamese, and I have no idea why. Thanks for letting me know, I will see if I can fix it.
It's shocking how cheap these are for how well they get things done
Right? Give it 5-10 years and this will change many areas of our lives.
