The water that washed the water washable resin models can not be poured directly into the sewer or sink. It has a wide range of application from board game miniatures to industrial parts and components.
What Resin Settings Are There & What Do They Do? Its difficult to narrow down a best exposure time since there are so many factors at play, such as the type of printer itself, to the color and brand of resin. Print orientation is the way your model is placed on the build plate in relation to the angles and rotations you use. You can definitely increase the number of bottom layers if your prints are getting proper adhesion to the build plate; otherwise Id stick to the 4-8 bottom layer range, having a middle of 6. x][o~/th Vq[AGvFr"@!WKjd9g3pWz\\z{ z_?" j-%by;=W7yQc!eLywo3t7'?\ D?1~wzRC Its not technically a resin print setting, but it is closely related to the process.

High speed adhesion with faster curing time, higher precision prints and easy to take out from the printing plate. Usually, the surface quality of a print is affected due to improper slicing and printing in badly optimized directions. The video below goes through the process of narrowing down the perfect exposure time for your resin prints. Sometimes, it might be difficult to find eSuns resin in stock, but if youre planning on making detailed models and dont want to use IPA for cleaning, this resin is a strong contender. Lifting speed is simply the speed at which the build plate is lifted from the resin vat after a layer has been cured. Resin exposure calibration or a resin calibration test is what people do to properly dial in their settings. IPA is the best and most popular cleaning solvent, but in case you cant find it, tripropylene glycol methyl ether (TPM) also works. *If you need the best settings for your 3d printer we highly recommendusing the included RERF (Resin Exposure Range Finder) or Resin ExposureCalibrationTool.This is most likely included with the 3d printer usb stick and or manual. Below are the best and ideal values for each setting but you should do testing with your printer or resin as well. The settings come with different levels such as 2, 4, and 8. Our Spectrum LCD Color Mix - Water Washable Resin is a high-quality 3D printing resin. Anycubic even stated thatthey wont be making a water-washable resinsince its very harmful for the environment when uncured.
ELEGOO photopolymer resin is compatible with the LCD 3D printers using the UV light source to cure models. I use a Mono SE and 2s normal layer and 40-45 for base with 6 layers for the Elegoo WW resin has been perfectly fine for me. 1 0 obj You do have to keep in mind that the best precision comes about in the Z-axis too, so having the most intricate details along the Z-axis makes a lot of sense.
Some of the resin settings change with the change in resin brand and color as well, but most of the settings are ideal for almost all types of resin and application. Prints made with Water Washable Resin are attractive and durable, with applications ranging from secondary school projects to industry use. For beginners, using that print orientation usually brings about higher success, especially when done in a way to reduce the need of many supports. Should I use another slicer ?
Thats because its packed inside an aluminum bottle, which is protected with thick bubble wrap. Thats usually done with isopropyl alcohol (IPA).
It stops your models from being built directly on the build plate, allowing it to be fully supported by supports and a raft. Rafts include many settings that can be adjusted such as the raft shape, area ratio, raft thickness, height and slope.
Your Z-lift height should be high enough that it gives your models clearance to adequately create a raft and supports underneath, without being too far that your supports are really tall. This is an important step every time you start using a new resin in your printer. endobj
People who have tried the resin even wrote somereviewson the resellers website, saying that the resin has lived up to expectations in terms of durability. Hollowing is the process of removing the inner material of a model, leaving a hollow outer shell of the print. What is Exposure Time in Resin 3D Printing? All rights reserved. Water Washable Resin is designed to be compatible with full range of stereolithography (SLA), digital light projector (DLP) and liquid crystal display (LCD) 3D printers.
Faster lifting speeds can definitely increase the failure rate of resin prints, especially larger ones. Models made with this resin have a nice, vibrant color. Honestly, there is not an ideal value of anti-aliasing when it comes to resin 3D printing. Changes in the structure or design of the model can harm the models strength and integrity, and it can also result in a print model with visible surface lines as well. Everything about the Photon series printers from Anycubic! This helps out with reducing print suction pressures so that your print doesnt get pulled off the build plate. When it comes to details, wed say thats where this resin truly shines. The differences between the formulations of regular and water-washable resins result in different mechanical properties of parts. It varies with the nature of 3D print and its functionalities. If you want details in a certain part of your model, make sure it is printed vertically rather than horizontally. For models like a sphere that have those water ripple effects, anti-aliasing + gray level 0 is ideal for surface quality. As with other water-washables, cleaning prints is an easy process. This google doc should help, it covers a lot of resins and recommended settings from the community. Please contact the moderators of this subreddit if you have any questions or concerns. People have gotten mixed results with anti-aliasing when it comes to resin 3D printing, but as the algorithms get improved, so do the results of the final prints. People tend to go with a lifting speed of 1-3mm/s or 60-180mm/min.
All these settings will depend on the size and type of your model and the required strength for your supports. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/u/0/d/1crvzMnt_8NJXAsABinoIhcOjE8l3h7s0L82Zlh1vkL8/htmlview. A lift speed too high can damage prints, especially where there are weak supports or overhangs, while a slow lifting speed will simply increase your printing times. It can put more strain on your supports and overhangs. However, what sets water-washable resins apart from a regular resin is that a certain percentage of a water-soluble ingredient is added to the mixture, enabling the resin to be rinsed with tap water. SLA printing is usually faster when the Z-axis height is minimized, so an orientation that does this can be ideal. This water-washable resin is a product from a Sweden-based brand named PrimaCreator. If 1,000 grams of resin is too much for your needs, theres a 500-gram size, too. Perfect wall thickens can only be attained by trial and error tests and an experience of 3D printing. Once you print your parts, we recommend taking a toothbrush tobrush the residual resin awaywhile the part is in a water bath. I would recommend running a good exposure time test such as the R_E_R_F (Resin Exposure Range Finder), or another popular one called the Resin XP2 Validation Matrix (direct STL file download).
This resin is compatible with many resin 3D printers thanks to the fact that polymerization occurs between 395- and 405-nm wavelength. Its more expensive than the previously mentioned Elegoo resin, but it shines when it comes to durability. The print model is orientated in software before starting the printing process.
Anywhere from 15 seconds up to 150 seconds is the full range, though youll usually see people with bottom exposure times from 30 seconds to 90 or 100 seconds. People have mixed results with this setting depending on what slicer they used, what the model is, and how large of an anti-aliasing setting they used. they wont be making a water-washable resin, Tough Resin & ABS-Like Resin: Best Brands of 2021, Water-Washable Resin: Best Brands of 2021. Elegoos water washable resin is surely among the most popular. Using this resin allows you to clean prints by simply using water. If you go ahead and print with it, youll notice that the parts are just a tadmore brittlethan those made with regular resin.
Supports are built on the strong foundation of the raft and it requires more exposure time than the rest of the supports.
However, its not all that glorious when it comes topost-processing resin parts. Print SettingsThe print settings below are for the resin without any pigments added, please see the Spectrum Pigment Page for all settings for all colors. What is Wall Thickness in Resin 3D Printing? First, lets learn what resin settings are out there. The best layer height for resin printing usually ranges between 0.01-0.05mm (10 to 50 microns), where you would use 0.05mm for faster speeds while still maintaining great quality.
I think a lifting distance of 9 or 10 is a bit on the high side, so Id stick to that 6-8mm range. Theres a decent amount of colors to choose from, and these resins are available in the usual 500-ml or 1,000-ml bottles. Depending on your 3D printer, you can get away with a lower light-off delay, especially for those monochrome LCD screens since they have a much longer life of around 2,000 hours. Phrozenis a manufacturer of LCD resin 3D printers as well as resins. An ideal light-off delay setting is quite hard to come up with because it depends on your 3D printer.
Printing with water washable resin is the same as printing with any other common resin and requires no additional expertise. If you have long unsupported parts on a model, rotating the model correctly is useful.

PLEASE UPVOTE THIS COMMENT IF THE ANSWER CAN BE FOUND IN THE BEGINNER'S GUIDE or the FAQ! When it comes to 3D printing, dimensional accuracy and printing to scale is important. For this particular resin, the manufacturer suggests using a brush to clear any residual resin from hard-to-reach places.
Well, a bit, but less than a regular resin, thats for sure. You can even fine-tune your own colors by mixing pigments into a new color. For standard resin 3D printers, you are likely to have a higher light-off delay as compared to a higher quality resin 3D printer, with modern monochrome screens.
Resin can get pretty expensive so its a beneficial step to take. Being water-washable doesnt mean you can touch uncured parts without gloves! Lower raft slope angles. Increasing your bottom layer count is usually a way of improving your print adhesion when your models are not sticking to the printing platform properly. If you have wondered how to calibrate your 3D printer resin, this is an ideal way to get it done. Suitable for the production of figurines, miniatures and models. This material offers excellent printability and cleaning properties. 500 g: ~$23 for gray; ~$24 for beige, black, clear green, clear red, and white; ~$25 for clear blue and yellow, 1 kg: ~$43 except for gray and black, which are ~$37. Resin slicers usually default to a layer height of 0.05mm, which is still twice as good as the upper limit of filament 3D printers, having a 0.1mm layer height. Low Shrinkage and High PrecisionELEGOO photopolymer resin is specially designed for reducing volume shrinkage during the Photocuring process ,which ensures the high precision of the print model with smooth finish. The default values for these settings usually do pretty well, but Id try to reduce the speeds and increase the lifting distance for larger prints. It should be placed under the sunlight to completely cure the remainIng resin in the water before processed to avoid environment pollutioin. The level of detail is comparable to Elegoos regular resins, so thats a good sign. In terms of the ChiTuBox algorithm specifically, they have a priority sequence which starts with the image blur, to the gray level, down to anti-aliasing. For layer lines, the orientation is going to have a large effect on how visible they are, since the Z-axis provides the highest resolution accuracy. What is Layer Height in Resin 3D Printing? In time, that area can swell, forming a crack. As for slicers, I use Chitubox, which works pretty well for free software. This setting generally doesnt change too much across 3D printers, so you can keep within a certain range which will be stated in the section below. You can still get adequate strength and amazing quality with a hollowed model by making use of wall thickness and infill settings. The odor isnt too aggressive either. Layer lines are more noticeable with aliasing, so anti-aliasing visually tries to reduce layer lines.
For the Anycubic Photon, I saw ranges between 4 10x the normal exposure time for the bottom exposure times, so you can take a rough average of 7x the normal exposure time. \km3L)c& PTN9dHvL@5#]AvXU&. Whats not so great is the durability. Available in an impressive range of 29 opaque RAL colors.
Judging by the feeling when trying to break two identical models, one made from PrimaCreator standard resin, and the other with water-washable, its tough to notice any difference. Many people have said that the changes are mostly visible under magnification, but hard to see under normal viewing. Although printing times are going to be slightly higher with a higher lifting speed, the difference isnt very significant. A layer height of 0.25mm is a perfect mix between amazing quality and a fairly good printing speed. The bottom layers of the print require more focus because they form the foundation for the whole print, and need better adhesion.
A balance is needed to get the print orientation perfect. <> It involves rotation, scaling, and moving prints across the build plate to provide an optimized printing strategy. Z136yx+g*"Z#'GN^r{)Y K9\&G At first sight, eSuns water-washable resin feels more premium than the above-mentioned resins.
This same principle applies in terms of making the bottom layers stronger. Water-washable resins enable you to rinse your 3D printed parts with tap water instead of alcohol. Resin 3D printing has always been a bit messy since liquid chemicals are involved in the process. You definitely dont want walls too thin, since it can result in print failures. Please contact us for more information. However, once the right settings are in place, its a very good option. Have a read of my articleBest Orientation of Parts for 3D Printing for more details. Dissolving excess resin in water is simple and straightforward, requiring only a short period of rinsing or soaking. You can adjust your layers heights through your resin slicer, with a smaller layer height providing the best surface quality, and a larger layer height providing quicker prints, and possibly more strength. This resin produces smooth surfaces with a bit of arubbery feel. 2 0 obj During the printing process, a lower lift speed helps the print to evenly peel off the FEP film each layer cure.
Resin 3D printing is known to have much higher precision compared to filament printing. After printing, but before the curing process, parts need to be cleared of residual liquid resin left on their surface.
<>/Metadata 1366 0 R/ViewerPreferences 1367 0 R>> Going through the lifting distance settings, there is a range between 6-10mm, with an average of around 8mm. The reason why 3D prints are cured after the printing process is because they dont get fully cured during the printing process. Furthermore, the ingenuous color mixing concept of our Spectrum resins resulted in an impressive amount of 29 RAL colors that can be obtained by adding our Spectrum Color Pigments to the resin. I recommend hollowing out all your models, especially if they dont serve any kind of functionality. The only thing is that the water-washable resin has less smell!
I couldnt find what level of anti-aliasing they used in these tests. Friendly Tips: Please choose your country or region/resin volume/resin color before adding to your cart~. You also want to give some space for the supports to build up a good enough foundation before getting to the print itself. Raft Slope refers to the angle at which the edge of your raft raises from the build plate. What is Z-Lift Height in Resin 3D Printing?
Come discuss resin printing or submit your questions here! Make sure you're using mono timings, which are always the lower ones. I used the recommended settings for the elegoo resin on lychee slicer but didnt get nice results (very fragile, very poor details, minis very hard to get off the printer, big pixel layers while using AA x4, etc)What settings should is use with this resin to get the best results ? Before we get into getting the ideal resin settings for your 3D printer, its a good idea to go back over the basics and form a solid foundation of knowledge before we get to changing things. For an in-depth explanation of how anti-aliasing works, you can check out ChiTuBoxs article. Furthermore, parts made with water-washable resins are generally more likely to crack because water can get absorbed within certain areas. Best Retract Speed (Lowering Speed): 3-4mm/s or 180mm/min. Overall, wed say that this resin has a good price-quality ratio.
I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. You will see a raft on many resin 3D models on the first layer to help with bed adhesion and stronger supports. The increased exposure time was to reduce the presence of horizontal lines that were found under a microscope. Your lifting distance should be high enough that it gives your models clearance to nicely come off the FEP film, and not too high that it unnecessarily increases your printing time significantly. Very safe, simple and fast removal process of uncured resin. A layer height of 0.05mm against a layer height of 0.1mm would double the number of layers for your model, meaning your print times will significantly increase. This material offers excellent printability and cleaning properties. I personally use these settings for Elgoo Water Washable white: 0.05mm layer height, 6 bottom layer count, 8s exposure time, 80s bottom exposure time, 0s light off delay. I did notice a pattern where the weaker Anycubic Photon 3D printer had a consistently higher number of bottom layers, going from around 6-10, while the Anycubic Photon Mono X mostly fell between 4-6 bottom layers. Some people experience their 3D prints coming out too small, too big, or not to scale, so I decided to write an Get A FREE PDF Download for the Mistakes & Solutions! stream What is Bottom Layer Count in Resin 3D Printing?
No detergent or alcohol required and can clean any residual stains directly with water. A raft is a foundation beneath your 3D models which sits flat on the build plate and allows the supports to be built on top of it. The fuller the build plate and quicker the lift speed, the more suction pressure that is created. Since layers are printed between the aluminum build plate and FEP film sheet, it creates a suction pressure every time the build plate lifts up. Walls that are too thick would mean you are using up more resin than you need, so you want to strike a good balance between these two levels. What is Print Orientation in Resin 3D Printing? Bottom exposure time is similar to exposure time, but only applying to the first few layers or bottom layers of your 3D prints. This applies to water-washable resins as well. Wall thickness is simply the measurement of how wide the external structure of a model is, measured in millimeters. Perhaps the biggest downside of this resin is that it could take you some time to get the settings right. What is Lifting Distance in Resin 3D Printing?

For models with a really rough, staircase-like exterior, anti-aliasing + gray level 0 gives the best surface quality. Elgoo Water Washable is on there.
Values below 1 second can contribute to lower quality, so you want to use 1 second at minimum.
In this article, weve pulled together a list of the best options for water-washable resins. The best exposure time ranges from 6-14 seconds for standard resin 3D printers with a 2K LCD screen, while powerful 4K monochrome screens can have exposure times from 1.5-3 seconds depending on the color of the resin and the printers UV power. Raft Thickness is simply how thick the raft will be, where a larger thickness generally leads to increased adhesion. If youre tired of brittle parts (which is a typical consequence of using water-washable resin), this might be the brand for you. You can 3D print spheres and round shapes a lot more accurately when you dial in your anti-aliasing settings properly. Ive been there before, and it wasnt a great experience, so I decided to write this article to help you guys out. There are other more advanced resin settings that most people wont really put to use, but Ill include them below so you are aware of them. 4 0 obj I haven't tried anything larger than a 32mm base mini though, so these settings might not hold up for vehicles.
However, this isnt completely true since theres no significant harm done if youdispose of resin correctly. Print orientation is not a set value type setting, instead, it is the combination of different activities such as rotating, scaling, moving, and placing the model on the build plate in slicer software. It does increase resin usage. Suitable for 3D printing end-use products.
6 Ways How to Fix Salmon Skin, Zebra Stripes & Moir in 3D Prints.
There are also other settings that relate to supports such as contact diameter, tip length, rafts and so on, but this article will focus on the other main settings. Raising the raft area ratio does well to increase adhesion and provide a great foundation for supports and a heavy model. General settings tend to fall between 0.5-2 seconds, so Id take a mid-value of that, being around 1-1.5 seconds.
I know PrusaSlicer tends to use supports all the way across the bottom of resin 3D prints, so the 45 angle isnt necessary for success. When dealing with chemicals such as alcohol, one must take safety into account, as alcohol is flammable and can cause harm to ones skin. You usually have ranges of exposure times, but they do vary widely with factors such as the printer itself, the UV power settings on your printer, and the color & brand of the resin itself. What is Anti-Aliasing in Resin 3D Printing? Layer height and the number of layers required to complete a model will determine the printing time and speed.
