How do you prevent the residue at the bottom sticking to your prints when drying? That is my biggest issue. When that happens, I always think it's time to refresh my cleaning solution….
With this process the resin crap stays at the bottom. Nothing to mix it all in. I'm also dipping the items in and out of the IPA. This makes sure that it flows in and out of any hollowing. Without this... you're only cleaning the outside.
Where did you get the inner for those buckets?
Consider cone-shaped buckets with a spout on the bottom to drain out the gunk like what they do when brewing beer put a screen in there so the parts never sit in the cone shape and always in the clean IPA... a jug turned upside down and replace the lid with a spout can be an option
I did consider something like this but the funnels are all pretty tall not letting you get as deep into the IPA.
For removing the dirty IPA I have a syphon hose. It does quick work of it
How do you wash/rinse your models in those buckets, do you shake them? 1 by 1 ? How do you avoid to scratch models, which happens when they touch themselves together or touch walls while shaking.
@@henrykhenrykowski2736 I lift the metal basket in and out. 12 times per a wash.
This will allow for I hollowed model to drain the IPA out and back in flushing out the inside.
The action of pushing the metal bucket gently into the IPA also forces those little holes to act like Jets essentially power washing the outside.
Because I have the plastic funnel at the bottom, the heavy IPA saturated with resin doesn't get mixed back into the washing IPA towards the top.
Finally, the metal bucket is smooth on the bottom so it does not scratch or gouge into the plastic bucket. They still look brand new even after using them for over 6 months.
Hi J, any tips on how to dry prints? I sometimes get a "wet effect" after curing them. Thanks for the info
This is just another reason I use IPA and not water. ALso why I use a heat gun to dry and warm the prints before cure. I highly recomend this method for a clean and crisp end result.
Do you let your prints completely dry between washes?
I don't and depending on the print I'll either shake them off to remove most of the IPA or I'll hit them with the heat gun on the cool setting to blow it off/out before the next.
Where did you get the inner for the buckets and are those 1 gal buckets or 2 gal
