clear 2 part resin works extremely well, but have to be brushed on.
to be honest you always show what you are printing but you never share how you setup the exposure settings etc. for each time you are doing with some new printer , could you share as well the settings for exposure?!??! don't be so damn greedy!!!!
not being awful but they really dont look very good
Polyurethane-based liquid floor polish is a far less expensive solution that accomplishes identical results.
2x Clear spray can would build up a good clear coat.
You could use the spray lacquer by minwax. It works the same way. You just get a lot more when you buy the quart.
You can get the same effect when you dont wash your prints before curing. It needs just a little more time to harden up.
Im also not sure why you was printing that Pokemon upside down, so you have to cover it in supports.
That's a pretty cool idea. I had a Chun Li in kikosho position project in mind, and I wasn't sure how it would come out (too mate, would painting ruin it, etc). Seeing this strategy makes me think I can pull it off! A bit of dye and laquer should do it.
I don't have a lot of money to spend on
Lacquer so I have my grandpa pass into a bucket 🪣 after a long night of drinking
Then I just dunk my figurine in and presto
I still where a ventilator
His pee smells horrible 😫
positive part about using laquor is that you can load it into a spray gun and shoot larger projects with something like an HVLP.
Solution for a too-large project: pick up a chocolate fountain. Dip dip dip!
Cool, but does it work for an FTM?
This is basically what I did with my hour glass exterior I painted it on with a brush. I know if the print is hollow you have to do both sides so you can pour some in, then pour it back out. I used Polycrylic.
What a palaver, I just leave the prints to drain for as long as possible and then cure them without washing, perfect glossy prints.
Or you could just put the gloss in a container with a wider opening and transfer it back in to the tin afterward. Dude
Diluted 50/50 and airbrushed would have been far better & easier.
7:15 did you try or if you did can you tell me, putting the bucket into a spray bottle and see how well that work like if your was using the spray can
probably would have done a better job spraying them with lacquer in a mini hobby air gun looks a lot nicer and you get that shine 2 it rather than that dull look
Why tint the resin? Print them clear and then tint the lacquer.
curious how this would go with silk filament and clear filament
without any experiments it was clear for me that the results would be the same as any clear glossy finishing coat spray. The difference between this can and spray can is only viscosity corrected by adding more solvent into the spray coat for easier application.
The only way to have perfect cristal-clear transparent prints is to use clear resin as you do, but use XTC3D epoxy coat, the result is perfect. I tried many varnishes, but I do'nt know why, the XTC 3D is the only one who maches perfectly.
I posted this on clay's project brother and thought it would make for a cool video For enhancing your dip process:
Thanks for your video, its awesome, i got an idea how not have to worry about the drips as much.The idea is this in a diferent project with tumblers where they put to much of paint or what what ever, they have this thing that rotates the tumblers so you dont gt the drip effects. Second part of the idea is instead of how they basically do a tumbler, since this is more 3 dimesional, have 2 rotating so it basically rotates thru all 3 X,Y and Z axis. i think you and jessy could do this and you would have overall less work, but the front end would be more mone but in the end i believe it would take less time and be more awesome looking. Please feel free you DM me. I have just started my own resin printing journey but i research alot of different things, do give me a shout out
Dammit man, whenever I hear someone say Po-kee-mon I just wonder if people pronounce it as "Caff-ee" when talking about cafes.
Just had a thought. He mentioned bubbles which is also a problem with epoxy resin. Some epoxy resins have a long enough work time to use a vacuum chamber to remove all the air. Since uv resin doesn't cure the same way, has anyone ever tried using a vacuum chamber on the resin before printing to see if it does anything? Just got my first resin printer the other day and actually can't find anything online about this.
This would be good for resin gems and coins!
I will regret this. But flowerpots as hats made me iykyk… Ahem…
Now
whipdip itInto shape
Shape it up
Get straight
Go forward
Move ahead
Try to detect it
It's not too late
To dip it
Dip it good
Carry on, Youths. ô¿ô
Testors makes a high gloss wet look lacquer – wonder if that works
Would love to know how you set up your time lapse to capture the build plate only going up and never down ❤
If you really looking for glossy an even coat, you can try penetrol mixed into the laquier. It will slow down the drying time but its one of the reason it will be so even and glossy. It works as a retardant.
AUTOMOTIVE CLEAR COAT SPRAY PAINT. nobody ever listens. it looks better and keeps the resin from turning yellow.
Can you try this with FDM
Yo if you ever wanna revist this idea. Try 2 part epoxy and use mica powder instead of ink, a little mica powder in a vat of siraya tech blu clear v2 will give you a perfect tinted translucency with some nice shimmer(once sanded or coated). You can deepen the color by adding some mica powder to the epoxy or use a raw clear print with a tinted epoxy coat to achieve a very light tinting effect. I particularly recommend the blu resin because its viscosity does a much better job at keeping the mica powder distributed for longer print times(i've done 7h prints with no noticeable fade in color from top to bottom).
I used a couple coats of clear rustoleum on a clear blue Vaporeon
I believe that you would have gotten AMAZING results just using clear resin without coloring!
Does anyone know if this would prevent cure inhibition in casting resin statues in Plat Silicone?
Are you finding that the parts have a smoother finish with this method without any sanding?
you need to buff the lacquer, try with some pledge and a microfiber towel
Great video! Thanks, is the clear resin you paint water base? What type of color paint you used to paint it? Do you have a link? Thanks!!
Lose the mask, people pay good money to huff that stuff.
I do woodwork and use lacquer. The plus – dries FAST and gives a nice finish. The negative: lots of fumes. I only do it in the garage with the door open and a fan going.
