I would I agree if I had scratched it with paper towels. Paper towels get wet and, therefore, soft, thus leaving no scratches. But your suggestion makes sense anyway.
Never ever go anywhere near uncured resin without wearing nitrile gloves to help prevent skin damage and scarring, and ideally you should also be wearing a beathing mask with filter to prevent the harmful VOCs that the resin emits from damaging your lungs, and lastly some form of eye cover to prevent eyesight damage should the resin splash.
Yep, I realy find this one (called Papia) very soft, not leaving any dust or lint (wet wetted in alchohol) unlike, say, the one u can see placed under the vat. And when shopping with my wife, we buy two different "brands", and now you know why:)) It also perfectly fits the width of the vat thus making removal of residual alcohol easier.
That's correct. I use a collecting (slops) bottle and drain whatever remains in the vat after a print (a series of prints) into it without filtering. After I collect a sufficient amount in that bottle (normally 150 grams or so) for a new print I shake the bottle well and pour its contents into the vat via a filter, thus only straining once instead of 5 or more times.
@@3DResinPrinting Actually I may follow suit and save on filters, they are not expensive but it's a pain in the butt going through 3 a day and waiting on new ones to come. Less waste is always a good thing regardless of cost
@@3DResinPrinting that's an awesome idea I will save my resin bottle to do that with. I am only buying the water washable type so I can leave the cleaning water in a storage toat that can go in the sun after a while to cure micro resin and be filtered with a basic particle filter and I find it doesn't give off the harsh smell of other resin.
Ethanol, if affordable in your location. I get ethanol at a price just a little higher than that of IPA (which I also use sometimes). Ethanol is better for cleaning and smells better. Not sure whether those using microfiber cloth discard it each time after use, but I have no problems with using tissue paper - as soon as it's wet, you get no scratches on the film (and you ain't going to press the paper against the film like crazy, because the main job is done by the solvent).
The problem for me is when I use gloves everything gets contaminated with resin, and I cannot notice it. When I work without gloves nothing gets contaminated because it’s more convenient for me to handle things without gloves. As I mentioned in the description, please wear PPEs you consider appropriate for your case. The purpose of safety precautions is to achieve safety, not just wear (often wrong) PPE. So I achieve my safety by not using equivalent that leads to contamination. On the other hand, I use good and sufficient ventilation which most users ignore.
Without gloves, if you're careful enough, there is a 1 to 100 chances that you get resin on you skin. With gloves, the chance is much higher. At least, this is how it works for me.
Any suggestions on how to fix a cloudy screen?
Excellent! Thank you for making this video!
Wiping down the FEP with tissue or paper tower is the perfect way to scratch it. Use a microfiber cloth instead.

@@3DResinPrinting How do you clean the microfiber cloth afterwards? You cant put it in the washer...
@@mrthoreau5668 This is another reason for using paper towels. Just UV-treat and throw into the bin.
Excellent, congrats! Thank you!

I recommend using a hazmat suit
Gloves definitely, but breathing masks are arguable. Studies have shown that the VOCs emitted are far below dangerous levels.
Why use tissue paper instead of paper towel? Does it have less dust particles come off it than paper towel?

I noticed you didn't strain/filter your resin into the bottle?

@@DeusMachina71 Yep. And you also save time avoiding filtering each time (no waiting, no extra operations).

You talk like a robot and your video has the feel of an educational film from the 1970's. But good info.
Thanks for your comment. Robot is my second name!:)) Seen the logo on the videos?:)) Today I am releasing a new video. Mind checking the new voice?:)
@@3DResinPrinting LOL!!! (Thumbs up!)
I like this sound as it is very clear and easy to understand
Cleaning agent? IPA? or something else. Personally I use microfiber cloth instead of any paper

step zero use gloves !!!

@@3DResinPrinting what type of gloves are you using? is it as good as nitrile? I'm looking for alternatives, preferably something more reusable.
Um, wear gloves!

Takes 11 minutes to explain a 5-minute process Lol. Just drain the resin and clean the vat out with alcohol There saved you 11 minutes.
Next time instead of watching a movie just read the short narrative. This will save you much more time. lol
