Making some infinity stones for a gauntlet, this is the perfect video! About to try it, I'll update if I think of it.
And that answered my curiosity about powder pigment / mica powder in resin 3D printing.. thank you very much.. 😁👍
This is exactly what I was looking for and a fantastic tutorial!! You've saved me so much time and effort 😊
Naww cheers! Happy to help 😊
Wonderful video! Thank you for your awesome research.
Happy you liked it 😊
Oh wow! Love it... thanks 🙏🏻
Very cool! Thanks for posting.
😊😊😊!
It blows my mind that this video only has 1.9k views, it should be 1.9M at least!
Naww cheers mate. Truthfully your channel is epic and deserves much more recognition too 🙂!
wonderful video thank you so much
Thank you!
Thank you Magician!
🔮🌕✨ Cheers mate 😊
Great video! The breakdown you provided was incredibly helpful. We have a couple of FormLabs Form3 printers and after some experimentation, we decided to opt for the after-care painting method. Although we were tempted to add the IPA ink to the print trays directly, we didn't want to use a new clear tray for every new color. Keep up the good work!
Preeetyy schmick! Would look great with some gentle under lighting as a mantle piece.
Amazing, well spoken, to the point magic! I hope the alcohol inks I ordered are as potent as those were. I read somewhere that someone used pigment powder (pretty sure it was glow in the dark) and the substance sunk to the bottom and the end result was a damaged FEP. I have a number of metallic powders and I hope I have the success you did!
Cheers mate and hope all the best for your experiments 🙂
I am building a dice tray with a large 24v wireless induction coil module embedded in the bottom, and plan on making resin dice with wireless LEDs inside them, and this has me wanting to try making the dice with my 3d printer, with a small tube cut out for the led to go into, which I can then fill up with resin from the tank and re cure to ensure the lights are dead center. SICK. I planned on using a medium grit sandpaper to give them a frosted effect to diffuse the light and make it so the LED isn't as obvious, but this might be even cooler.
Such a raaaad idea, I'd love to see some pictures of your end result 😊! We have a projects page ($200 store dollar credit available too) - core-electronics.com.au/projects/
I am actually thinking of printing the Apollo and Daphine model you show in a large scale using white alcohol ink and black specs
That sound awesome mate! Definitely show if you do😊 our forum is a excellent place to do so.
How good is that puzzle!?
I have also experimented with mixing alcohol inks into the resin with glossy resin pigment powder (not pearl-ex brand)... I am however using water-washable resin (due to ventilation/washing convenience) the results are great but I find the powder starts to settle to the bottom of the resin vat during printing quite quickly and I end up with a sparkly bottom (printed first) and more plain resin on the top... this is probably due to the lower viscosity of the water based resin. This, however, incidentally worked well on some models (unplanned victory) where it enhanced the overall look and effect, but on others it ruined it a bit... one model I actually inverted the original print orientation to make the glitter settle where I wanted it.... if the glitter settles too much tho the print will be weakened in those layers..... just my 2 cents worth!
Cheers for sharing man! Is proper interesting hearing your experiments with water washable resins. If I leave my set-up for a couple of days without printing I definitely notice colour layers forming in the tank and the glitter settle. I've always made sure everything was mixed together well before starting a print. Would love to see some of your 3D prints with this colour transition change, come make a photo post in the forums if you have time ☺️
@@Core-Electronics cool !! ... will do so. Also about to try the alcohol ink but using an airbrush for a smoother finish as well as experimenting with creating a gloss finish using UV Resin (water washable) and a UV light source. I will let you know how it goes...
Been wondering if this would be effective myself.
I was looking to maybe reproduce Dazus Christmas icicle in a fashion similar to a set of glass ornaments my grand parents had. They where clear with a slight blue coloring that could be seen when held up to the light.
What a beautiful 3D Print file! I have no doubt with some of the techniques I explored in this video you could get exactly what you desire 😊 Just use less Alcohol Ink than me and utilise Transparent Resin.
Would have been nice to compare the resin alcohol mix withOUT the pearlx for a 'true' comparison. (wondering how much of the 'cloudiness' is due to the pearlx).
Also, would be interested to know if you don't mix the dye in completely (leaving swirls and streaks) how that effect might come out.
Also, with the above swirling using a couple of different colors to get multi-colored streaks or areas. Perhaps like a Yellow + Orange + Red to create a 'Fire' effect?
I would be interested in another video if you did the above techniques to see how they turn out. - thanks
Nice mate, I have been doing further experimentation with this.
This model here was made with a two different colours of alcohol-ink with no PearlX. instagram.com/p/CQ4pxB6rjIn/
I have left swirls and streaks in the alcohol ink before and found it not to result in much change to the final piece. The movement of the print platform as it goes up and down ends up mixing the ink, making for no multi coloured streaks on the final print. When printing with PearlX if it is not mixed in fully (or has settled to the bottom) can cause issues with the prints.
A technique that might interest you that I did get some clear colour sections was by printing with two separate resin. You can also pour alcohol ink as it is printing to change the hue of the final component. instagram.com/p/CPwjgR9ooMO/
i want to print some sunglasses for a figure, can i actually see through it if i taint it a lil bit dark?
Could any of these methods work on things that already factory Translucent Black? Let say I wanted to color over it to give it that translucent look? Please help !
So if I do the 2nd method then I don't have to use primer or anything right? Just print, brush on the alcohol ink, let it dry, cure, then clear coat gloss?
Thanks for the great video man! A question: @ 4:10 you are saying that you add 10 drops of alcohol ink + half a tea spoon of pearl-Ex powder. Ok but to how much of resin do you add these? 50ml? 100ml?
Why choose alcohol ink vs translucent acrylic ink for clear resin?
Have you tried to paint the alcohol ink on not from IPA/Acetone but from water? The ink is poorly soluble in water, but it does disperse well in it
I will try that, you have me proper curious as to how it will affect the colour. Will tell you the results once I do it.
For smoky black siraya tech what do you recommend for bottom exposure and normal exposure settings?
Hit up this guide and print some Validation Matrices 😊 You'll figure it out within half an hour for your particular resin and printer combination - core-electronics.com.au/guides/perfect-resin-print-exposure-setting/
I’m thinking of trying to make a fire elemental fox using one of these techniques. which do you think would work best? I’m thinking of dying it using yellow and red to get a gradient what do you think. I’m just getting started with 3d printing.
Totally a fantastic idea! Since your just dipping your toes into this world I'd cure and finish the model first then paint it with alcohol inks afterwards 😊.
Wouldn`t the dying after curing look very similar to the dye before curing if it also had a gloss coat?
It would improve the final finish but they would still look a little different. In the article I have images of the moment both the jewels and triangles without gloss coat and the result at that point look quite different.
Do the colors fade?
Not one bit 😊 have them on my desk with me now.
The pearl x powder takes away the transparency, It would of been nice to compare transparency with the others with just the ink in the resin tank.
as now we don't know how transparent the finish will be.
what would of been best is do 1 print with just ink in the tank, then one with pearl x to compare the finish.
i treid to do the pearlex and ink thing but the pearlex powder all fell to the bottom and didn't really come out. i might not have used enough but i'm not sure. in the only other video i could find the guy had a printer that actually moved the vat instead of raising the plate.
Make sure to give it a good swirl/mix before you start any print so that way it floats all around. At 4:30 you can see how thoroughly I mix it.
where do you get your dye from?
You can find alcohol ink at most craft/art supplies stores.
Does the ink not have a sticky residue and rub off the print? I just tried this and have both issues
Hey mate, my prints don't have sticky residue, just make sure to fully clean the fresh print with IPA and UV cure it until all the tackiness goes away.
@@Core-Electronics not the the prints, the alcohol ink left a stickiness
How weird, I haven't had that experience yet but If I do I'll come right back and tell you how I fixed it.
hi, i think you are FBI too mb...thanks for the info
