I watched this video about a week ago, and it seemed like a cool idea since most people add dye to their resin vats directly and I wasn't into that. Unfortunately, I couldn't find your video anymore until today (damn you RUclips!). Ended up getting the same ink and tried it out. The results are great! Also tried to just 'wash' my print in ink diluted with IPA but that didn't seem to stick at all. Thanks a bunch for this vid :D Now all I gotta do is find out how to reduce yellowing a little (comes out of the initial IPA wash yellow/frosted) and my transparent prints will be awesome!
Hey awesome! Glad it worked out!
Another awesome video!! It's so cool to see my models with such gorgeous 3D prints!
Thanks Mia! I really need to step up my production game but I hope the video conveys the idea anyways 😅. Always happy to share your awesome models!
Beautiful work! Great to see how the alcohol affects the color. 💙😎👍
Thanks Mia!!
So Cool, Those miniatures look incredible with that beautiful tint.
Thanks @Ashkan Aliyar! M3DM has fantastic models and they're a lot of fun to print and "ink" 😁
I will definitely be using your methods 3D Resin-Sensei
That was fantastic. I'm calling you "butter fingers" from now on 😂 Cheers, JAYTEE
Thanks JAYTEE! Can't seem to hold anything lol.
Thank you so much, this is EXACTLY what I needed for my miniature drinking glasses and gin bottles. Liked and subscribed.
I purchased the supplies and followed your recommendations and they look great. I highly recommend that others try your techniques also. Thanks for the tips. I'm using the alcohol dyes you recommended and a clear resin but am using a *water washable* clear resin and appearance wise it looks the same. The clear coat does a great job of removing any surface cloudiness too. Because of the many color options I prefer the clear resin however I see many people having difficulty printing with clear but haven't found too many solutions for this. Models that I print using a darker resin come out perfectly, however when I print with the clear resin I often get just blobs in the tray and nothing on the print plate. Considering that you have a great deal of experience with using clear resin, have you had problems printing with clear and, if so, what settings did you change to fix the problem please? I'm experimenting with different exposure times however perhaps you have some expert advice? Thanks!
Brilliant idea. Thank you 😀
Thanks for watching!
So I'm using Elegoo clear blue but it's definitely frosted. Maybe it's the acetone I'm using. Maybe it's the ink you use. Not sure what it is, but I'm trying to get to the bottom of it as I really need this print to be as glass like as possible. I'll try a super quick dip in the acetone as it's much much stronger than 99% IPA. Hoping that's it as I do tend to leave them in there too long sometimes.
Definitely could be the acetone. I haven't tried cleaning prints with it but I know even with 99% IPA leaving it in too long results in cloudy prints.
Great video love love love that dyeing process, I am just getting started in resin printing and with will work great with my crystal dice tower do you have a link to the dyes you are using and yes I just sub to your channel keep up the great work
Hey there, thanks for watching 😃. Here's an Amazon link for the Jacquard Alcohol Inks I use:
www.amazon.ca/s?k=jacquard+pinata+alcohol+inks
Great process for the outside. Any thoughts on what to do if you model is hollow to keep the inside clear?
Yes, what I do is print it with drain holes, clean quickly using a syringe and IPA and then add a varnish to the inside also using a syringe. It works best if you empty out any excess.
I like the frosted look to be honest.
Yep, there's definitely times the frosted look is best. The clear is definitely useful in some cases though.
Don't worry I only judged the presence of the pizza hut box.
how long did you cure it on the uv box? mine turned yellowish.
So, there are 2 things you can do to prevent yellowing. Turn the exposure time down slightly in your slicer, start with small changes to keep quality prints. The second is being very careful to turn the curing lights off as soon as the print is no longer tacky
The result are really great. Looks like crystal. What do you use for a clear coat please. Will any spray lacquer work?
Hello, thanks for watching! I just use plain rust-o-leum clear coat spray paint. I've seen quite a few posts of people using different lacquers with similar results though.
@@TD3DMakes Thanks for the response. I just ordered some uncolored clear resin and the alcohol dye you recommended so I can try your technique. I've been using clear colored resin but the pieces are a bit too dark (and cloudy) but I think I can get better results using your method. I'll be buying the clear coat spray tomorrow and will keep you posted. Thanks again.
Good luck 👍
thanks for sharing the technique
Thanks for watching!
muy util, gracias :D
Well now I know how to pronounce your name half 😁 I really want learn this resin stuff.
Don't touch the uncured resin. I got serious rash on my arm after tried resin printed bracelet.
hey man, great video, one question, what setting you use for print a glass effect?? Thanks
60sec base time, 8sec layer time
I just use the stock settings in Chitubox for Elegoo Clear resin.
I like your video! I'm from RESIONE resin, and want to ask you if you'd interested in reviewing some of our resins which have high performance and precision.
Can I have your e-mail so that we can communicate with each other?
Hi there! Best way to contact me is on twitter DM. @ThierryDeux is my user name there. Looking forward to hearing from you 👍
