That worked really well on my transparent pyramid box, but i had to pour the resin on the model in order to get a smooth finish. Thanks for the solution
Awesome! Glad I could help!
Great as always.
Thank you!!!
Thank you bud! worked like a charm :)
No prob bob
awesome!
Very cool.
Thank you! I hope you stick around. Much more on the way
He'll ya gonna try this out finally dabbling into colors n wanted to see ways of making sure it stays clear
Hell yeah man! Be sure to do a secondary cure in water to avoid the tackiness
@@wilatheroicstudios2466 okay sweet do a water cure to help keep clean n non tacky I figure it'll be a couple bottle before I get a good grasp on the process for them
@@chriswills418 yeah I'm still learning and working on finding other means to make this process a bit better
@@wilatheroicstudios2466 idk if you've coverd this or not but what would be a better solution hollow or solid
I've heard curing the model while it's submerged in water removes the tackiness. You should give it a try
That was the first thing I tried, it worked somewhat but not 100%
cool its easier to just hold a small model and dip it in some resin and hold it while you rotate and cure it or you can just skip the resin and use the clear coat.
Tip: Resin doesn’t stick to the backings of stickers or silicone mats. If your curing station doesn’t have uv lights to cure from underneath, you can use those to put tour prints on.
Question: wouldn’t uv resistant clearcoat achieve the same result, meanwhile protecting the model from yellowing?
To answer your question, I use to do that. But it never got that glass like surface finish
@@wilatheroicstudios2466Thank you for the reply. That’s too bad, i would love to have that glass like end result for some objects…
Maybe it’s just not possible with printing and i will have to resort to printing, making a mold and cast it with casting resin to achieve that glass like object. 😔
I like your result though, i was just hoping to get an even more perfect result.
Oh well… I guess it’s not the end of the world if it’s not 100% perfect.😅
Great video, gonna try it to see if it makes my clear prints better. Question: You cure it once with the UV lamp, then again but with your cure station. What is the difference? I don't have a UV lamp, but I have the Mercury X Wash/Cure. Does it matter if I cure it in there for the first pass?
The secondary cure is to make sure you have all the surface cured. The 360 in the cure machine ensures you did that. Using a lamp prevents it from being cured to the surface. Use a silicon mat
How did you sand your piece before adding this brushed in resin. Also does any uv light work?
I didn't sand anything. If your supports are on point then they just fall right off. I have a video for that lol. And yes, any uv light will work. Including but not limited to the sun lol
for the colored prints did you brush on clear resin? or clear colored resin? 😅
You can do either or. Same result
Thank you for great vid showing how thing are done!
Some questions if i may:
1) for color transparen print you later use clear resin or the same color leftovers?
2) after reading comments here your method now is to print, skip wash, cure, apply another layer, cure in water. Did i get it right?
3) have you tried to print clear resin but later apply color resin? How does it look?
Hey buddy, thanks for the questions. It the resin only matters if it's the same color or clear. If you're printing with clear green, you take it from the build plate and cure it right away for the same effect. Or wash it, cure it, or use a clear or a green. However, I found a better, less tacky finish way to do this

Hi thank you for your video!
I have a few questions :
If you apply uncured resin what is the purpose of washing the print in the first time?
Also does it leave drop traces or any marks? If no do you have any tips on how to avoid it?
Thanx!!
Hello. To answer your first question, there isn't one lol. It seems a little redundant after a few times of doing this. However, the base could cure to the print making it hard to remove. If you wash it, place it on a silicon mat, then layer it with resin, you can prevent that.
I've never seen any drop traces or mark. It's just a conservative amount of resin that's needed. Don't over do it
@@wilatheroicstudios2466 ok thank you !
Which resin do you brush on?
I used the same clear I used to print it
Do you need to sand it ?
You can to clean up imperfections and such
my prints tunr our pretty yellowish, is there something i can do to prevent that?
Unfortunately that may just be the quality of the resin. You check out my follow up video to this. Might help ruclips.net/video/mqVZYfbP8O0/видео.html
YEah, I got same crap happen after UV-curing. I will try same thing just putting the model outside on sunlight. The UV curing might be too harsh for that cheaper transparent resin.
just discovered your channel, great content! i had a question, i used siraya clear and my print, whenever i clean it up, i get white spots in crevaces. will this process help clearing these blemish or do i have an other issue? thanks!
Sounds like your wash needs to be swapped out. If you use clear resin it may clear it up, but i think what's going on is your wash might be dirty enough to deposit uncured resin on to it.
@@wilatheroicstudios2466 that's kinda my issue, on my second print i did a first clean under water, in a clean recipient and the same bleemish appeared right away. my tank an iso were cleaned and new. :/
Very nice job!
i'm looking for a good non yellowing resin,do you remember what resin have you used for that?it look like anycubic,but i have tried that,and still got that yellowing finish in it
I used anycubic but I've never seen any yellowing happening. For this example I used a ultra clear resin, I wanna say it was Voxelab.
Hi!
I use Nova3D High Transparency and I'm pretty satisfied. No yellowing. (Printer : Anycubic photon ultra)
@@TomHrlt I used nova 3d,but not happy on how little things/things near to build plate fuse togheter. I have found a good one by Resione, g217 resin,very good at high detail,and easy to setup
@@Kevincondor i'll remember, i must say that this resin can have issues with supports too.
@@TomHrlt if you like try that one I said,is wonderful,is a bit on a pricey side,but it's worth every cent
Hmmm... Thought. How would this process work if applied to a translucent FDM print? Time to experiment! 😎
I took you'll still see the print lines.
Have you tried just clearcoating the prints?
I do that in a pinch but I don't get the glass like finish I want
Tried and tested method. And no need to apologise for the UV light; it's not going to come out of viewers' monitors and phones to hurt their eyes :)
Lol thanks!
try curing it on a silicon mat.
Huh....I did not think of that. Thanks man
i always got yellowing on my clear print, any idea why? and how do i get a very clear one?
It's the brand quality. Anycubic is super basic clear. I remember voxelab and siraya tech have the best clear out there but it's expensive
try ace hardware acrylic spray used to clear solar panels itsblike magic
oh so u need to wash WITH fresh liquid clear resin?
@@wilatheroicstudios2466 Oh I see. I guess I got cheap transparent. After 3D printing it looks great, like glass. And then after alcohol clean- it got milky. And after UV cure -it got yellow.
I gotta try your technique + varnish/clear coat.
Have you tried not washing the model and just curing it?
Yes. It still has a tacky surface
Hmmm... printing + curing + clear coating it. Might be a good idea to try. .
Do you still have any of these prints lying around? How did they hold up over the last 8 months or so?
Pretty sweet post-processing trick man!
I have a cetitan somewhere I'm sure. It looks pretty good still
put a pice off fep onto your curing plate and the part will not stick
Huh...good idea
Nice Video but the Fokus it’s not on point way too often😂 keep up the good work tho
Good information but man..work on your close-ups shots..the details are probably there. But no really visible..
That's why I got a new camera
Awesome@@wilatheroicstudios2466
