You don't need to end up with a lot of waste water for water washable resins. We use a spray bottle to wash with water, and the waste water that is generated is minimal. A spray bottle is also much better at cleaning than an ultrasonic, because the water that comes in contact with the print is always clean, whereas the water in a wash unit gets dirty and saturated as soon as the prints touch it. Dirty water just doesn't clean as well. I recommend that you try a spray bottle the next time you use a water washable! 😄
You can deal with disposal of contaminated water EXACTLY the same way. Put your bin of water out in the sun (put a lid on it). The resin will cure. Toss the cured resin. Keep cleaning with the same water. Couple bits of advice: use distilled water unless you have basically pristine tap water in your area - or even if you do - zero minerals or other particulates to interfere with the reaction. also, use an ultrasonic cleaner - even the hollow models will get much cleaner using water with an ultrasonic than alcohol without.
Thanks for sharing your insight on this subject. I find your videos to be very informative and of good quality. I see that you are advertising JLCPCB, I have had many 3D prints done with them and their quality is very good and the price is unbeatable when compared to other 3D Printing serviceS. Have you thought about making a video of comparing Print quality and overall price(and perhaps other variables) between JLCPCB and Commersial off the shelf 3D Resin 3D printers and perhaps even FDM printers.
I personally prefer normal resin, water washable is good if you don't have a great set up, but the stuff is brittle and just cracks a lot easier from my experience
I live on private property and have a hot asphalt road outside. I can toss wastewater on it and it evaporates fast in the direct sun - but not as fast as any residual resin cures leaving and unreactive film or pieces - does that Help? I do wear a respirator for Nova3D stuff, very unhealthy not to!
The thing I don't understand is that in Europe for example industry can't use any other solvant then water for resins, inks and paints witch means : the technology exist, is reliable and durable eg. : any european car paint is water washable made. I don't see why the individual should poison himself

A comparison video is a pretty good idea. I'll look into that.
Can we use UV light on the contaminated water to solidify and separate the wasted resin and then flush out the remaining water in the drain?
The remaining water must be left to evaporate
Is it better to use regular water or soap water?
Regular water works just fine.
@@FigureFeedback Alright thanks man
Very good advice

Yea id agree but i use waterwashable because the only way i can get ipa is by spending 20 quid for a litre

What if I boil the contaminated water outside so it can evaporate faster?
Ngl i just buck ot over my fence
@@ClipCraze-i8j BRO that is not ok. You pollute the Groundwater that way. Just let it evaporate my dude!

I've been thinking about this myself. Did you ever get a decent answer?
