I spent forever trying to find a video that adequately described how this works for family and friends. Excellent job, the illustration section at 2:35 is perfect!
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 😅
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.
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.
I've been watching some of your videos recently and ordered the Mono X the other day. So this is perfect timing for me that you're doing these guides and I can't wait for them! Thank you! 😁
Thanks Joshua. I hope you enjoy it. What's strange to me is that you're able to view this video as it's not even live yet 😀 I guess you were meant to be first 😁😁😁
was watching moonlight jewels video on doll making and i was so fascinated on how the resin printing process actually worked(since it was sped up) but this video explains it so well!
Where ever ordinary visible light can get into your house. UV light will get there too. So no. Direct sunlight is not required. Reflected light will do.
@VOG thank you for the information its super helpful.I am going to continue to watch your older videos, so far the ones that have come up is the Elegoo mars pro 2k and the phonton mono I dont know which one to get or if there is even a better one than these two. Which one do you think will be the better option if you don't mind me asking for what im trying to do?
Great video. I'm just starting out with the whole 3d printing malarky so haven't even decided on what route i'm going to take. This was a very informative 👍
I'm a total noob at this stuff and I honestly do not even know if 3d printing is the way to go I hope you can help me out .I want to create detailed 3d embossing folders to emboss metal sheets with an embossing machine like sizzix embossing machine I plan on selling whatever I make with this folders so I must own whatever I create I hope I'm making sense can you please give me a suggestions which 3d printing machine will be best for my intended use any info will be greatly appreciated.
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 😁😁😁
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.
Have you used uvtools? I'm running into an issue with blooming using siraya tech Blu clear. I'm going to try out the light bleed compensation in uvtools. I Have tried slowing the lift speed raising the height and adding light off delay all have made it better but not perfect. Any help would be much appreciated. There aren't many videos on uvtools. Love your videos keep up the great work.
I am buddy, and if you were a regular you'd have come across this before. For me the last letter of the alphabet is Zed, but the arm on a 3D printer is a Zee. I do this purely for my own benefit to be honest, though I'm really not sure why. 😁
It's for accurate printing, so models, prototyping, hobbies, etc. The resin typically isn't very strong but there are several good strong resins now available that make printing practical things worthwhile 😁
@@vogman ok thank you. So for now I believe I may be better served with a filament type printer. My wife has borrowed her brothers Longer Lk5 Pro. And likes it. But I was thinking of maybe doing the Creality CR-10 Smart Pro, or something else? Do you have a review or think it’s a reliable machine for different types of filaments? The resin was a thought for additional fun.
All good reminders for those of us that have been printing for some time as well. My Mono X has been printing well for some time now but I can always learn more.
@@vogman I had a heck of a time with my Mono X at first. Ended up replacing the bearings and went to a Pom nut on it. Smooth now for my prints. I mostly print FDM but the detail parts all get printed on the Mono X.
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.
Question: Is the resin the same thing as the photopolymer used for making stamps (e.g., address stamps)?
It's photopolymer, that's for sure, probably not exactly the same as for stamps but maybe.

Thank you. Every time I saw a resin printer in operation it didn’t make sense. Your diagrams were perfect in their explanation.

Temperature is very important, you're right 😁
Always wondered how these worked. Always found them so cool and unique to other printers.

@@redmonkeyjosh Good luck with your new printed✌️

Glad you enjoyed it 😁
Great video. Looks like fun. I need to try this someday.
Go for it!

I had absolutely no clue how this works and now i feel like i know exactly how it works amazing video thank you
Glad it helped!

Simply EXCELLENT! thank you - now part two.
Glad you enjoyed it! 😁

3 notifications at the same time, decisions decisions on which video of yours to watch first.
ALL would be good 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁
@@vogman Done!
Thank you very much 😁👍👍👍
Superb explanation and video editing. Great work!
Thanks Miguel 😁

yay, another VOG video! Excellent breakdown, I know a few people that this might help. Thanks!
Then please share. 😁😁😁
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.
And before anyone tries this, you need to find an alternative cooling solution for your printer, because air cooling doesnt work in vakuum
Interesting thought... and I have no idea what would happen 😁
Very good beginners guide 👍
Great visuals. Time for a update? And add a visual for the lcd screen as a UV Filter. Slicing a file is like printing a book page by page. ❤ 2:35
That was extremely simple and clear. Thanks.
Glad you liked it!
Great beginners guide I find it very useful
Thanks Lloyd 😁
But how does it turn that liquid into an object without a nozzle
great - now I can relax as it isn´t witchcraft
Did I not mention the tiny pixies that live inside the printer? 🤣😂🤣
this was a perfect explanation.
Many thanks.
I knew how all those other 3d printers work, ty for explaining this type!!!!
Glad it helped 😁

Hi Christen. I've heard of uvtools but know little other than the name. 😁
Zed arm, be proud of where you come from

Best Explanation/Demonstration on 3D resin printing I have seen. Thanks
Thanks so much for this video!!! Just getting into resin and this helps!!!
Glad it was helpful! 😁
Thank you very much!
omg perfect video existed
Thank you so much.
Perfect timing to Learn how to use my new m3 plus as a noob
Excellent 😁
thank you.
You're welcome
What happens to the unused resin?
The unused resin is filtered back into the bottle and re-used.
@@vogman Ah, thanks for your reply.
thanks ive been curious on how these work for a while
No problem!
This tech has moved so fast, but this is way too messy for me.
The new Anycubic Mono M5S is making things even easier, but you'll still have to handle and wash sticky resin prints. It's not for everyone 😁
Thanks! Great introduction!
Wow, thanks Frederic for the Super Thanks. It's much appreciated. I hope the series proves useful to you 😁👍👍👍
Very helpful. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
Is a resin printer primarily just for models?
It's for accurate printing, so models, prototyping, hobbies, etc. The resin typically isn't very strong but there are several good strong resins now available that make printing practical things worthwhile 😁
@@vogman ok thank you. So for now I believe I may be better served with a filament type printer. My wife has borrowed her brothers Longer Lk5 Pro. And likes it. But I was thinking of maybe doing the Creality CR-10 Smart Pro, or something else? Do you have a review or think it’s a reliable machine for different types of filaments? The resin was a thought for additional fun.
All good reminders for those of us that have been printing for some time as well. My Mono X has been printing well for some time now but I can always learn more.
Of course where was this when I started in resin. Ha nice job
We can all learn more Mark, especially me. I'll happily pass on the tips I've picked up and I hope others will too 😁😁😁
Then where would have been the fun 😁😁😁
@@vogman I had a heck of a time with my Mono X at first. Ended up replacing the bearings and went to a Pom nut on it. Smooth now for my prints. I mostly print FDM but the detail parts all get printed on the Mono X.
Ouch... good for you for persevering and sorting it out 😁
Good concise overview.
Thanks Perry 😁
Thanks for sharing 👍
Thanks again Craig 😁😁😁
Cool. Good stuff
Glad you enjoyed it
V good
Thanks
