  • Resin printers create amazing prints but the uncured liquid resin is a pain and can get all over everything. Here are some of my tips for containing the mess and keeping things safe. This is my SLA Resin Management Guide or Resin Handling Guide. Most of the stuff I mention in here is pretty cheap. In the $5 - $15 range.
    Regarding my mask. I know it's probably not a good enough mask but it's easy to wear and it's better than nothing. Also with the ventilation system I added the fumes are very minimal. But feel free to leave your suggestions in the commets.
    Here's where to get all the stuff from the video. These are affiliate links which help support my channel.
    Rubber Mats - the ones I use in this video are no longer available on amazon. But these look better cause they are very large: amzn.to/3pmhfws
    Or these that are more like the ones in the video: amzn.to/3eAqcw0
    An alternative to those mats are these food trays which are ridgid and therefore a little better at holding liquid and spills... amzn.to/3lo3bQK
    Metal Funnels - amzn.to/39ZU56y
    IPA - amzn.to/2T0uFzS
    Spray Bottles - amzn.to/2T2q7t2
    Nitrile Gloves - amzn.to/2Tm6T0c
    My Mask - amzn.to/3cgvWL5
    Tea Strainer for Recycling IPA - amzn.to/3c7ZJFr
    And this is my favorite resin (not shown in this video): amzn.to/3kln4qe

    Part 11... instead of throwing out the blob after purifying the IPA, place the blob into a mold to create a shape or model you wish to recreate. I create hexagons for my war game with the blob which solidifies in the sun. This way I recycle the IPA and upcycle the blob into a desirable items essentially saving money and creating less rubbish.

      Ive found that the same applies to a lot of things in life. Like if you buy a fancy new panini toaster and stick it in the back of a cupboard as well as choose a hard to clean model, you'll end up never using it because even taking it out is a hassle, nevermind cleaning it.

    As a newbie to resin printing, I found the warnings about how toxic the resin is overwhelming. You helped make sense of all the noise and save me a few dollars in the process. I can now print as much as I want, without worrying about my family's health or the impact that I'm having on the environment. Thanks for the great video.

      It's true, I did genetics (and I never had a cross contamination), and pretty much everything you do is lab grade, except not having a fume hood, which tbh is overkill at home.. I haven't bought a 3d printer yet but I estimate it would take me perhaps 12 to 15 print goes before I wasn't really conscious of the steps..
