    Came here because I specifically wanted to know how resin printing is not just "black magic" and you couldn't have done a better job at explaining it.

    Resin printing is super cool. It's close to magic. The bad part is that I feel like I'd never be able to fix this thing if something breaks. With a filament printer, everything is mechanical and simple. This is high tech.

      I noted the same, most videos it's some dude patting the top of a printer, behind him are a bunch of printed 3d fiction characters backlit by colorful LEDs on nice shelving. Then it's the slow panning shots of the printed stuff while they drone on and on about printers and hardly showing the process 😅

    A very overlooked thing about this kind of printing is that you want to run this machine in a warm environment. Warming up my resin to 30c helps a ton.

    DOOOD! Yours was the first video I found when searching for the question. I'm very accustomed to disappointment, so when I get a great video on the first try?! I'm THRILLED! Well done sir!
    I'm noticing resin printing is fantastic for creating detail art. Obviously, there doesn't seem to be opportunity for color printing. But people printing and building models which are later painted, that looks like the basis of a fantastic hobby which eliminates the need to buy expensive plastic model kits only to find them defective or your own clumsiness ruins it... and if parts get broken, they are easily replaced as well. Might just have to get one of these pretty soon!
    Mainly I was wondering how/why they are printed upside down. You have answered that in the presentation perfectly. Perfectly.

    • @vogman

    • @vogman
      @vogman  2 года назад

      I've no idea how much pressure such a device places upon the embossings. I'll tell you immediately that most resins won't cope with this as they're fairly weak. HOWEVER, the good news is there are specialised resins out there that are designed to be nice and strong, such as Siraya Tech Blue. I get that you're a newbie so let me just make this nice and clear for you - pretty much any resin printer, regardless of brand, will be able to print very nicely detailed patterns for you using this resin that you can then use in your embossing folders. Frankly it sounds an ideal application. I'd love to see how you get on 😁😁😁

    • @caincha
      @caincha 24 дня назад

      @@vogman I googled a bit more… apparently the patterns are made on a LCD screen above the UV light so the light goes through that pattern and 'burns' the resin on each layer.
      So it's not about the UV light but the LCD - theoretically one could use any light source (as long as it's UV and on the resin's wavelength of course) and it would be fine.
      Heck I just found some videos in how to 'overclock' my printer by replacing the UV lights and/or the LCD o.O

    Do you think that printing in a vakuum could result in better prints, because you have no air in your resin? But i could also imagine, that it results in worse prints, because the material deforms and micro- or nano-airbubbles could act against this.

    • @EnchantingCat8365
      @EnchantingCat8365 2 года назад

      And before anyone tries this, you need to find an alternative cooling solution for your printer, because air cooling doesnt work in vakuum
