Processing Instructions
- Resin Preparation
- Shake the bottle for several minutes before use to ensure a homogeneous mixture.
- After shaking, let the resin rest for a few minutes so trapped air bubbles can escape. Otherwise, air bubbles can affect the first 3D print layers.
- Gently mix the resin before every 3D print to maintain ideal viscosity.
- Keep the resin tank at least 75% full for consistent flow. Viscosity can rise with heat, and a low resin level may cause 3D print failures.
- Store the resin in its original packaging in a dark, dry area between 5 °C and 30 °C, and reseal after each use.
- 3D Printing Parameters & Orientation
- 3D print with 50-micron (0.05 mm) layers and orient suspended parts to maximize the non-stick effect against PMMA.
- 3D print at an angle to improve surface quality and reduce defects on flat areas.
- Apply shrinkage compensation as parts may shrink slightly during processing; this improves model accuracy.
- For large parts, reinforce supports by increasing their thickness or depth to prevent failures.
- To avoid damage during removal from the build platform:
- 3D print in a vertical orientation.
- Reduce the number of bottom layers.
- Use a metal spatula at a low angle.
- Adding extra thickness at the base of the model helps prevent chipping.
- Post-Processing
- Rinse 3D printed parts for 5 minutes in IPA (isopropyl alcohol) or (Bio)Ethanol — ultrasonic or other agitation is preferred.
- Dry completely before curing: air-dry in a well-ventilated area for at least 30 minutes, or use pressurized air for 2 minutes.
- Post-cure in a high-power UV chamber for 15 minutes at 65 °C. Preferred curing wavelength: 300–410 nm.
Safety Precautions
- Always wear appropriate PPE: protective gloves, clothing, eye protection, and face protection.
- Use in a well-ventilated area or outdoors.
- Wash thoroughly with plenty of water after handling.
