I recently printed a clear green shard project from the recent season of The Mandalorian. I knew there must be a way to get the green shard more clear, and after searching I found your tutorial. Absolutely fantastic results! Thank you so much! I used all the different sandpapers, micro polish papers and polish from your materials list. I dry sanded with the grittier papers and wet sanded with the fine papers, polished, and finished with a clear gloss coat. Perfection!!
My friend thats some impressively light touch sanding Ive spent alot of time in my trade doing just that and it couldn't have come out cleaner very good work!!
I like helmets but lenses are often tinted and very diverse in shape (like Kamen Rider cosplay helmets for example). If you alcohol ink dye these prints and then sand like this can you see through them well enough for lenses?
Hi, Congrats on the content. Would it be possible to tell me which features you used to print that clear. I'm having problems where the models result in transparent resin
@@3DPrintedProps my question was not about the color but i'm having troubles in printing in clear resin. the models came out very bad with a lot of malformations wherever there were supports. Can you helping me troubleshooting this? Thanks
Sometimes working on prints is like doing bodywork on a car. There are probably some clearcoats that can fill in the resin without giving you a glossy finish an avoid having to go past 2000. But that's all trial and error with factors like the resin used/environment.
FINALLY A TUTORIAL ON HOW TO SAND CLEAR RESIN HOLY CRAP!!!!!!!!!
Hope it helps! :)

Hi Kevin! Fabulous work on those wings! Wow! Thanks for the Flitz love dude!! Much appreciated! 👍👍👀
Thanks🙂🙂
You seriously sold the product , amazing quality hope they wont higher the prices long on the way so I will have change to make some projects with it
Great video. I always do a glossy clear coat at the end to make it as clear as possible.
Yes, I should have mentioned that, thanks. I didn't want the wings glossy, but I do that as well when I want a gloss look. Thanks.😀

Thanks 👍
does doing this helps removing the horizontal lines on print aswell?
A lot of work but they look great. Thank you.
Yeah, took a bit, but in the end if you need that look, you have to get in there and do it. :)

Can I use Flitz polish paste on any resin color ?? and what does it do ?
does it smoothing the surface ?
Yep, just think of it a super super fine sandpaper
How come the veins didn't get wiped out by all that sanding?

I didn't print it that clear. I had to do a lot of sanding.

one question, resin printing become thinner after all those sanding, right?
so we need to thicken the model before print? for how much?
won't that resin breaks easily? cause it seems so thin, but i dont know if the resin is not so brittle

Yep. This was my second attempt. I did use a clear matte that looks cool. But I liked these plain.
Does it have to be paperthin or can it be like the size of a finger to get it see-through
I've seen this done with dice and much thicker pieces. :)
Dumb question. How did you not sand the veining away?
Hello. They are pretty deep, so it didn't hurt the details
always sand in the same direction. otherwise you will get cross patterns.
In your video the end product still looks very hazy to me. Is it translucent? Definitely, very much so. Is it clear? I wouldn't call it that.
Can you use this technique for small things like cups and bottles?
As long as you can sand them. really detailed parts would be tricky though. As you noticed, I didn't really even try to get into the veins.
