Thanks for commenting. But you will lose perfect flatness and get distortied view through the plate. Your suggestion would be suitable for complex shape prints (which I practice a lot). Also, this resin is tricky in curing the applied resin layer.
@@mikekiske I think it will be pretty difficult to get embossed letters with this resin unless they are large enough (may be 7 to 10mm high, and 1mm deep). Another thing is that you can get very small bubbles inside which will be highlighted by the led light to spoil the look of your print (unless you make the surface matte maybe). If the light source is outside those bubbles can hardly bee seen. You can get bubbles in any resin, not only this one.
This is ridiculous you have no hope of doing this on any print that isn't perfectly flat. Also I bought this resin and after curing it still has an oily surface.
You may try adding exposure time. Try washing longer, try acetone. Also you should cure it with a strong UV lamp (at least 60W). Then rinse in alcohol (I use ethanol) and polish or coat with high gloss, or you can cover it with a thin layer of fresh reisin, cure again, wash again and then polish with oily rag. I have a video with a model of Mars printer on the channel. It has green translucent cover (you can have a look for reference). So a couple of days ago I printed the same cover but of this clear resin. And it is it's surface isn't oily or stick adre rinsing in ethanol and curing. After I finish polishing I will make a short vid with the new cover. At the same time we can't expect a perfect glass-like look because real glass is hardened as a mass, not in layers or pixels. The main quality of this resin is that it won't get yellow at all. It is also strong so that I even add it to other (not clear) resins.

Wash print, dry print, paint print with thin layer of resin, then cure. You'll get the same / better transparency.

Hi.
Do you think this plate could be used on led lamp? Like those on engraved pieces of acrylic. Thanks for the video.

@@3DResinPrinting I see. Thanks a lot for the feedback. 🙂
