UPDATE,
I would check if your wash and cure can use water as some say not to.
In my one (Anycubic Wash and Cure 2.0) if you leave water in the container too long it can cause the parts inside to rust. It's easy to replace but can be a hassle so don't leave the water in the container for prolonged periods of time if you go down that path.
Or use distilled water
I use this resin on a halot one and one plus....2.5 to 3.0 depending on the model and 80%to 90%water with 10%to 20% ipa does it for me
I didn't think about water/IPA mixes. Thanks for the tip!
Hey Andrew there's something call "SAP absorbent" for mostly soil moisture control, you can add some black water-soluble paint into the leftovers and absorb it with the SAPs.
the dark color and SAP will do the job.
I haven't tested SAPs with the residues but I use them in other water wastage handling
and remember to get the lower grit ("thicker") ones,
as high-grit (more powdery) will be blown away by wind and pollute water and soil :(
I’ll have a look into if I go back to water washable resin. At this point I’m sticking to ABS like.
I appreciate the tip though, thank you very much.
Love your videos, glad to meet you in TH-cam. I’m new to printing and I got a lot thru yours. ✨
@@HKGDot you have any recommendations and instructions for this? Im also looking for methods to solve the water waste problem and this seems promising, ive not found anyone really talk about it before.
I figure you let the water sit in the sun for a few days. Filter it. Repeat.
Then dump the filtered water over a pile of rubble behind the shed.
I saw one video where a guy used a Zero Water pitcher to filter it and then tested it with a device that gives you the ppm.
Once it reached a safe level he dumped it. I assume.
Really good video.
I just got that same wash and cure station and actually use WW resin.
I haven't done any prints since my W&C station arrived so it was good to know it works well with the water instead of the IPA inside of it.
Thanks so much.
With regards to disposing of the water, I put it in a aluminum tray on a table.
The heat from the sun helps evaporate the water in the metal tray.
You can use one of those disposable baking trays (but make sure it doesn't have holes in the bottom)
Thanks for the tip Keith, definitely look into getting a tray. I think the metal will make a difference.
A comment above brought up water and the risks of using it in the wash and cure. I've put my reply here, but I would consult your manual.
"From a quick look, using water has a high risk of causing the screw/bolts/bearings in the rotor to rust and if I was to do this going forward I would empty out and dry the bucket between washes so the parts aren't submerged in water for a long time."
@@Habes Yes, I've heard that the water in the container can't be left in for long periods.
I wasn't going to do this anyway since it's a very plentiful resource.
Thanks for the reminder on that.
what were your settings for the water washable resin? was hoping you would post that information. I'm having issues getting the settings right.
Soz, I over looked it when making the video. It was around 3.2-3.5s per layer on my Halot One
Still need to start printing, but I really don't get.
So you can run bleach, chlorine ect down the drain, but resin or water with resin in it is wrong?
I am not going to do itn but I just don't understand why not resin when its "okay" to put all those other chemicals down the drain.
I'm not sure either Andy.
From my understanding it's best practise to cure any resin before disposing of it. I don't get why other chemicals are ok though 🤷
@@Habes Of course curing Resin and putting it in the wastebasket, but its the filtered liquid part that confuses me.
I am going to use water washable resin, so its going to be mixed with a crazy amount of water, and I am going to filter it before flushing it.
I really can't see any reason why we don't flush it, since we flush all the other stuff already.
@@andychristiaens1810 That's fair. I completely get that!
If it was me I'd do a bit more research to see what people do with the waste water. I won't be continuing with water washable resin at this point.
I'd be keen to hear what you decide to do.
It's pretty simple, you are not supposed to dump pure bleach and chlorine down the drain either, it's also bad for the environment...
But the level of toxicity for the different chemicals is also not the same, and the quantity of water polluted by each is not the same either.
And finally some chemicals are common and usually targeted by the water waste stations, but the chemicals in the resin (especially the ones used to uv-cure the resin) are not common and probably overlooked by those treatments.
In general, uncommon chemicals need to be handled appropriately. In France it's pretty easy, just bring them to the recycling station and they will handle that for you (we pay taxes for that kind of stuff). Not sure about other countries
@@OlivierCombe Thanks for that in depth response. I'll have to look what the options are for Australia.
Can i mix two colours of Elegoo water washable resin?
I can't speak from experience as I haven't done that.
In theory it should work if their exposure setting are the same.
But it's probably worth testing it out.
Hope that helps :)
can i have my printer in my room without any safety issues or pproblems?
I'd avoid it if you could. I think long term exposure, particularly if you're in your room a lot when it's running.
However if that's the only place, look into an exhaust pipe and extractor fan that you can connect to your printer to your window.
I just started testing anycubics new abs-like water washable resin! Processing is easier for sure. Did you ever get that water to evaporate?
Let me know how that goes.
I don't think so. It's been a while but I think I put them in bottlesd and ran them through the wash and cure and then filtered out the cured resin from the water.
@@Habes really happy with it so far. 4 prints in. Time will tell if the water evaporates or not. Maybe keeping it outside but in a shaded spot would work?
Not sure why you run your printer so fast as often it's a false time economy. If your getting failed prints then generally a bit slower pays for itself both in time and cost IME.
Personally I've never had a failed print over the last 2 years worth of resin printing and over ~20kg of water washable resin and some dialling in to begin with. I increased the speed then dialled it back based on reliability, also anything that looks tricky to print ill drop it to stock speeds as 1X 6 hour guaranteed print is better than 2X 4 hours prints with the 1st one failing :)
My personal tip is to use a quick prewash bucket to get the worst of the excess resin off then transfer to the wash station for a polish wash. You get a better result and gunk up your wash station less and the part gets less residual white gunk on it as the polish wash water is cleaner.
Large shallow metal baking trays to evaporate off, you want as big a surface area as possible and a good airflow if possible so a sunny windy location is best.
I don't do it but you could do a final IPA dip to help it dry faster and/or if you have a spray booth put wet models in there with it running to get airflow over the models.
Sorry I missed your comment.
The Halot One is a bit funny that the speed settings (at least with the firmware I'm using) can only be adjusted in increments of 1mm/s and 3mm/s worked the best out between 1mm/s, 2mm/s and 3mm/s.
Only way I've seen to get around this is to use chitubox, but I don't like that slicer.
Great suggestion on a prewash bucket. I think I will implement that this week!
Thanks for those tips for waterwashable resin. Appreciate you sharing your wisdom :)
What you mean by don't put in sink because the water that goes into the sink will be treated with chemical and ETAR stations... It won't go into the river or something to kill aquatic life? I'm confused...
Same as regular resin, maybe even worse due to water dispersion. Read the instructions on thr bottle. Cure it in the sun, and despose as plastic waste
That's a fair question.
The MSDS for this resin (section 6) says:
Do not allow product to reach sewage system or any water sourse.
Inform respective authorities in case of seepage into water course or sewage system.
Do not allow to enter sewers/ surface or ground water.
I'm following the instructions from Elegoo.
They are not set up to deal with toxic chemical waste in household waste water, same reason why chemical plants cant dump their waste down the drain. Please dont do it, water washable much like 'plant-based' is just green washing from the resin manufacturers to make things sound better for the environment. Plant based just means the bulking material is plant based, not the toxic chemicals that actually do the magic we all know and love. The SDS data sheets for all these resins are all remarkably similar, they are all pretty nasty.
@@B4MBI72 I see and understand of course however... How can they control others are not doing so... So in a open world scenario they have to take into account that not all people at least one will to not respect it.. so.. how would they do that's a thought
Its terrible for your pipes. If that makes you not dump it down the sink idk what will. Resins does get harder with heat..
can I was it in the sea?
Haha no
I hope no birds or animals drink the contaminated water.
That’s a good point. I’m fairly sure none did, but a little disappointed in myself for not thinking about that.
I’ve allways washed mine down the sink
can I was it in the sea?
XD hope you're doing well Cal
@@Habes Cal drowned. Sry. RIP.
