Resin printing is super cool. It's close to magic. The bad part is that I feel like I'd never be able to fix this thing if something breaks. With a filament printer, everything is mechanical and simple. This is high tech.
I spent forever trying to find a video that adequately described how this works for family and friends. Excellent job, the illustration section at 2:35 is perfect!
I noted the same, most videos it's some dude patting the top of a printer, behind him are a bunch of printed 3d fiction characters backlit by colorful LEDs on nice shelving. Then it's the slow panning shots of the printed stuff while they drone on and on about printers and hardly showing the process 😅
A very overlooked thing about this kind of printing is that you want to run this machine in a warm environment. Warming up my resin to 30c helps a ton.
DOOOD! Yours was the first video I found when searching for the question. I'm very accustomed to disappointment, so when I get a great video on the first try?! I'm THRILLED! Well done sir! I'm noticing resin printing is fantastic for creating detail art. Obviously, there doesn't seem to be opportunity for color printing. But people printing and building models which are later painted, that looks like the basis of a fantastic hobby which eliminates the need to buy expensive plastic model kits only to find them defective or your own clumsiness ruins it... and if parts get broken, they are easily replaced as well. Might just have to get one of these pretty soon! Mainly I was wondering how/why they are printed upside down. You have answered that in the presentation perfectly. Perfectly.
was watching moonlight jewels video on doll making and i was so fascinated on how the resin printing process actually worked(since it was sped up) but this video explains it so well!
I've been watching some of your videos recently and ordered the Mono X the other day. So this is perfect timing for me that you're doing these guides and I can't wait for them! Thank you! 😁
Thanks Joshua. I hope you enjoy it. What's strange to me is that you're able to view this video as it's not even live yet 😀 I guess you were meant to be first 😁😁😁
Great video. I'm just starting out with the whole 3d printing malarky so haven't even decided on what route i'm going to take. This was a very informative 👍
All good reminders for those of us that have been printing for some time as well. My Mono X has been printing well for some time now but I can always learn more.
@@vogman I had a heck of a time with my Mono X at first. Ended up replacing the bearings and went to a Pom nut on it. Smooth now for my prints. I mostly print FDM but the detail parts all get printed on the Mono X.
@VOG thank you for the information its super helpful.I am going to continue to watch your older videos, so far the ones that have come up is the Elegoo mars pro 2k and the phonton mono I dont know which one to get or if there is even a better one than these two. Which one do you think will be the better option if you don't mind me asking for what im trying to do?
I'm a total noob at this stuff and I honestly do not even know if 3d printing is the way to go I hope you can help me out .I want to create detailed 3d embossing folders to emboss metal sheets with an embossing machine like sizzix embossing machine I plan on selling whatever I make with this folders so I must own whatever I create I hope I'm making sense can you please give me a suggestions which 3d printing machine will be best for my intended use any info will be greatly appreciated.
I've no idea how much pressure such a device places upon the embossings. I'll tell you immediately that most resins won't cope with this as they're fairly weak. HOWEVER, the good news is there are specialised resins out there that are designed to be nice and strong, such as Siraya Tech Blue. I get that you're a newbie so let me just make this nice and clear for you - pretty much any resin printer, regardless of brand, will be able to print very nicely detailed patterns for you using this resin that you can then use in your embossing folders. Frankly it sounds an ideal application. I'd love to see how you get on 😁😁😁
Questions when it supposed to start 3d printing does the plate start at Home ( in the Tub of resin and work in way out ? I still can’t find an actual video of it 3-D printing on UA-cam it’s all show offs
That's a tricky one. Originally most resin printers "homed" at the bottom. For a while now many have seen the wisdom of homing at the top. Which printer is it?
Have you used uvtools? I'm running into an issue with blooming using siraya tech Blu clear. I'm going to try out the light bleed compensation in uvtools. I Have tried slowing the lift speed raising the height and adding light off delay all have made it better but not perfect. Any help would be much appreciated. There aren't many videos on uvtools. Love your videos keep up the great work.
@@vogman I googled a bit more… apparently the patterns are made on a LCD screen above the UV light so the light goes through that pattern and 'burns' the resin on each layer. So it's not about the UV light but the LCD - theoretically one could use any light source (as long as it's UV and on the resin's wavelength of course) and it would be fine. Heck I just found some videos in how to 'overclock' my printer by replacing the UV lights and/or the LCD o.O
I am buddy, and if you were a regular you'd have come across this before. For me the last letter of the alphabet is Zed, but the arm on a 3D printer is a Zee. I do this purely for my own benefit to be honest, though I'm really not sure why. 😁
Do you think that printing in a vakuum could result in better prints, because you have no air in your resin? But i could also imagine, that it results in worse prints, because the material deforms and micro- or nano-airbubbles could act against this.
That is the coolest fucking thing I think I've ever seen! So clever. The delta printers are a close second. Is the printing basically done in pixel resolution, then? And how do they account for distortion from the light being unfocused?
It's for accurate printing, so models, prototyping, hobbies, etc. The resin typically isn't very strong but there are several good strong resins now available that make printing practical things worthwhile 😁
@@vogman ok thank you. So for now I believe I may be better served with a filament type printer. My wife has borrowed her brothers Longer Lk5 Pro. And likes it. But I was thinking of maybe doing the Creality CR-10 Smart Pro, or something else? Do you have a review or think it’s a reliable machine for different types of filaments? The resin was a thought for additional fun.
Where ever ordinary visible light can get into your house. UV light will get there too. So no. Direct sunlight is not required. Reflected light will do.
Came here because I specifically wanted to know how resin printing is not just "black magic" and you couldn't have done a better job at explaining it.

Thank you. Every time I saw a resin printer in operation it didn’t make sense. Your diagrams were perfect in their explanation.

Temperature is very important, you're right 😁
Resin printing has always perplexed me, thank you for explaining it so well!!!

@@vogman oooooo how strange, it must have been fate 🤔😂
@@redmonkeyjosh Good luck with your new printed✌️
Always wondered how these worked. Always found them so cool and unique to other printers.
Thanks! Great introduction!
Wow, thanks Frederic for the Super Thanks. It's much appreciated. I hope the series proves useful to you 😁👍👍👍
I had absolutely no clue how this works and now i feel like i know exactly how it works amazing video thank you
Glad it helped!
yay, another VOG video! Excellent breakdown, I know a few people that this might help. Thanks!
Then please share. 😁😁😁
Great video. I'm just starting out with the whole 3d printing malarky so haven't even decided on what route i'm going to take. This was a very informative 👍

Of course where was this when I started in resin. Ha nice job
We can all learn more Mark, especially me. I'll happily pass on the tips I've picked up and I hope others will too 😁😁😁
Then where would have been the fun 😁😁😁

Ouch... good for you for persevering and sorting it out 😁
That was extremely simple and clear. Thanks.
Glad you liked it!
Great video. Looks like fun. I need to try this someday.
Go for it!
Simply EXCELLENT! thank you - now part two.
Glad you enjoyed it! 😁
thank you very much for the enlightening! im sure now i will go with other methods
You are welcome!
Very good beginners guide 👍
I knew how all those other 3d printers work, ty for explaining this type!!!!
Glad it helped 😁
Great beginners guide I find it very useful
Thanks Lloyd 😁
3 notifications at the same time, decisions decisions on which video of yours to watch first.
ALL would be good 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁
@@vogman Done!
Thank you very much 😁👍👍👍
Superb explanation and video editing. Great work!
Thanks Miguel 😁
this was a perfect explanation.
Many thanks.
Fascinating, thanks!
Thanks for watching 😁
Thanks so much for this video!!! Just getting into resin and this helps!!!
Glad it was helpful! 😁
Great visuals. Time for a update? And add a visual for the lcd screen as a UV Filter. Slicing a file is like printing a book page by page. ❤ 2:35
thanks ive been curious on how these work for a while
No problem!
Best Explanation/Demonstration on 3D resin printing I have seen. Thanks

Thanks for sharing 👍
Thanks again Craig 😁😁😁
amazing video
Thanks for watching 😁
Cool. Good stuff
Glad you enjoyed it
Got it, magic.
When the printer hit the resin with UV light why is it needed to cure it again in UV light?
Thank you very much!

Question: Is the resin the same thing as the photopolymer used for making stamps (e.g., address stamps)?
It's photopolymer, that's for sure, probably not exactly the same as for stamps but maybe.

Hi Christen. I've heard of uvtools but know little other than the name. 😁
thank you.
You're welcome
omg perfect video existed
But how does the light form the pattern for each layer? That's the only thing I don't know yet...
It's just a matrix of light... I've never thought about it more than that.
@@vogman I googled a bit more… apparently the patterns are made on a LCD screen above the UV light so the light goes through that pattern and 'burns' the resin on each layer.

Zed arm, be proud of where you come from

Do you think that printing in a vakuum could result in better prints, because you have no air in your resin? But i could also imagine, that it results in worse prints, because the material deforms and micro- or nano-airbubbles could act against this.
And before anyone tries this, you need to find an alternative cooling solution for your printer, because air cooling doesnt work in vakuum
Interesting thought... and I have no idea what would happen 😁
That is the coolest fucking thing I think I've ever seen! So clever. The delta printers are a close second.
Is the printing basically done in pixel resolution, then? And how do they account for distortion from the light being unfocused?
Is a resin printer primarily just for models?

Perfect timing to Learn how to use my new m3 plus as a noob
Excellent 😁
What happens to the unused resin?
The unused resin is filtered back into the bottle and re-used.
@@vogman Ah, thanks for your reply.
But how does it turn that liquid into an object without a nozzle
great - now I can relax as it isn´t witchcraft
Did I not mention the tiny pixies that live inside the printer? 🤣😂🤣
Are the toxic fumes that come from the resin?
Yes, most resins are very harmful. We need to take care of ourselves and others when we use them ua-cam.com/video/tm2PyYS8ncI/v-deo.html
Where ever ordinary visible light can get into your house. UV light will get there too.
So no. Direct sunlight is not required. Reflected light will do.
I still don't understand how the resin knows what shape to make under all that liquid
*The right choice of an investment has always been a big problem for me I know picking a wrong investment will leave a big scar in the future.*
Knowledge helps us make informed decisions 😁
My dumb ahh thinking they work by creating a molding first 😂
This tech has moved so fast, but this is way too messy for me.
The new Anycubic Mono M5S is making things even easier, but you'll still have to handle and wash sticky resin prints. It's not for everyone 😁
