Reply To: 3D Printing For A Potential Buyer

[grantinvanman 9605xp 0]

I have a friend who owns a mini company here in Calgary. He recently sold a lot of his range to Crooked Dice. So he does really good work.

His go-to for 3D printing is an Elegoo Saturn 3. Go to the 4 now I guess. It has a large plate. The biggest plate you can get makes life better.

 

For software, he uses Blender  – there’s a learning curve

These are his go-to options for materials:

Resins

Mix the 8k resin with Siraya Tech Tenacious to make it a bit bendy,  15% mixed into the bottle

After the print, this is what he does:

Pure simple green, let dry, pure acetone, let dry.

Then you’ll take it to a sink and run some hot water in another tub. Let it soak for 10 secs then remove the supports. Might need some clippers to help get the fragile areas.

Need a funnel with a sieve too

In case you have failures you’ll need to empty the vat
