How’s the smell of the denatured alcohol? I haven’t been able to use iso because it gives me terrible headaches. Water washable’s been ok… but it warps a lot during curing.
I'm a cheap ass that uses a 4 dunk wash. 1 dunk in murky Methylated spirits, 1 hot water dunk and support removal, 1 dunk into clean Methylated spirits and then a final rinse in clean water. That said though, I need to dry with cloth and brush or cloth and blow gun (cold) before curing to avoid the cloudy spots on cure. Might give this a shot when feeling less cheap. Just found Methylated spirits to be easily accessible from the supermarket, cheap as chips and lasts long enough when spread across multiple baths.
An idea for a next video, how to clean your 3d printer when it's all sticky ? I've always been thorough with the cleaning and used 99% IPA but it's still sticky. Will denatured alcohol do the trick, something else ?
Denatured alcohol / Methylated spirits is basiclly isopropanol with some added components so you can't drink it ( Tastes bad ) and slightly different ratio of the Isopropyl. Denatured alcohol refers to alcohol that has additives in the product in order for it to be sold as a non-consumable and non palatable product. I use what we call Methylated spirits , it cleans nicely and is way cheaper in Australia than Isopropyl. denatured; denaturing (ˌ)dē-ˈnā-ch(ə-)riŋ transitive verb. : dehumanize. : to deprive of natural qualities : change the nature of: such as. : to make (alcohol) unfit for drinking (as by adding an obnoxious substance) without impairing usefulness for other purposes. So i think we could call Butter Milk bob denatured (Dehumanize, obnoxious and without usefulness for other purposes other than attacking , crying and generally being annoying )
@CommissarGamza I noticed you scraping the build plate, you can skip having to deal with having to struggle with scraping it off if you use a mag plate add-on you can get off amazon or ebay lets you hot swap into another print when you pull the mag plates off.
Any high purity alcohol will work. Methyl Hydrate is 99.9% pure alcohol and should work even better. It's less than $14 for a gallon in Canada, so would probably be about $9 USD. Any methanol will work, it's all alcohol based.
Yo Gamza, Frog Man here. Happy New Year first of all, and do you think you could put together a complete guide to 3D printing miniatures for beginners? I think that would be a good video, although it might take a while to gather footage of every step of the way. Keep up the good work!
uncle jessy did a video using cleaners like simple green and mr clean , they worked really well and are cheaper, of course i saw that video the day after i bought 4 gallons of 99% ipa
Never had an issue with IPA, but I've always used a two step washing. First step is to get off all the heavy resin deposit and the second step a rinse. Only have issues with sticky models when the rinse alcohol needs changing. Works for me.
It's called methylated spirits in my country. There's not much of a price difference either. I'd wear gloves when handling either, as they're not pure and contain a trace of toxic stuff like benzene and methanol.
Can confirm. In the UK its called Methylated Spirits and is purple. Its also a shed load cheaper than Iso. Much more reusable, better at cleaning resin off.
Hey I bought some of it, How long do you run it in the wash and cure station for and do you dump the miniatures in a bath of something else before or do you leave it in the container?

Okay how many nerds are that bad at titling videos 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I've got a voxelab aquila and run pla. Is a resin printer really that much better?
👍

Have you tried making your own game system for your minatures??

could 3d printing survive in 40k?
just use 87 oct

Denatured alcohol is amazing! Make a nice filter setup using two 5 gallon buckets and a large filter and it can be reused for a long while

Just put it in a sealable container and put it in the sun, then filter. Problem solved lol. Thinking far to hard on this.
I have been using this for over year. In uk its called industrial grade methylated spirits. DO NOT GET THE PURPLE STUFF!.
Swedes/Scandis: denatured alcohol = rödsprit/t-röd
hear me out… water-washable resin.
would the brita change the potency of the alchohol?

Gamza I expected you to use hot water to remove your supports, it easy fast and usually leaves 0 marks
Actually, water is a solvent.
The Universal Solvent.
You are Sigma Male Gamza

Hell yeah, cheapass Sunlu is great. They sell 2000ml bottles for pretty cheap
what about adding dish detergent (dish soap) into the cleaning solution?

Denatured alcohol is cheaper and easier to get here since the pandemic than ISO/IPA.
It's easy enough to filter that denatured alcohol. You just can use any paper filter from any where. He'll you can use coffee filters!
But I'd still buy/build a setup that has cheap filters just for convenience. Plenty of chemistry sites out there for this stuff. 😄
What type of resin do you recommend?
Still remember the story of the dude that melted his glock in acetone
Hey I bought some of it, How long do you run it in the wash and cure station for and do you dump the miniatures in a bath of something else before or do you leave it in the container?
I’ve used that for years. I clear mine be curing it with black lights
i use acetone XD not the safest but it does a really good job
Oh I love Denatured Alcohol. Makes your potato canon more powerful!
