My biggest concerns are the tub of resin filled water and possible brittleness. Your system you shared of just re using that same water over and over is a good option since obviously the stuff can’t go down the drain but 1 pro of IPA is it can just evaporate away faster if you need to get rid of it. I’ll be curious to hear if the prints are less durable as well
Might pick some of this resin next time. Just got some Sulu Abs-like for my first 3D printer. Would love to see you go through the whole printing process. Would be a great help for beginners such as myself
Have you tried the Sunlu ABS Like Water Washable resin? It's pretty flexible and I've really liked it. I haven't really gotten any brittleness issues and 2.5 minutes in my curing station is PERFECT.
I've used water washable resin for a while now as the odour is generally less, it's much easier to clean in case anything goes wrong and I've gotten some really impressive results on my Halot One. However I have found it to be quite brittle and once cured you can't really do much with it. I still use alcohol to clean it though and fully cure any waste material left over - it also evaporates quicker so I'm not chucking any waste water into the water supply. I'm going to test some Nylon/ABS-like resins this week as I'm looking for something a bit more durable/bendy for things like spearmen and more elaborate minis and conversion pieces. I think for more simple or robust minis water washable resin is a solid choice.
I just tried to wash my first print and there is this weird white film in certain spots. Am I doing something wrong? from the build plate to the water what steps am I missing?
The thing I don't understand is that in Europe for example industry can't use any other solvant then water for resins, inks and paints witch means : the technology exist, is reliable and durable eg. : any european car paint is water washable made. I don't see why the individual should poison himself
