Problem: they were NOT cured. Whoever did the print for him, did him no favours. There was liquid resin INSIDE one of the models. I know because a brittle part opened up to a river of the goop. Which also smells terrible.
So I contacted my buddy who does a lot of 3D printing (and his company actually has sold most of his physical line to Crooked Dice!).
Solution: pure actetone bath, followed by UV cure in the sun (since I don’t have a UV tent). It’s been epically raining here, so I had to wait until this morning, when the sun woke me up – hooray.
And wow, it WORKED. I’m always leery of what acetone does. It eats stuff, it reacts, it’s flammable, don’t drink it… it’s nasty.
Using a paint tray base (the thick kind that you put a tray in when house painting), I put a generous amount of acetone (pure, industrial) in the reservoir. Tested a small part of a turret. And … looks like no eating.
Dunked them and toothbrush scrubbed them, let them dry, and then put them in the sun for about an hour. No more sticky print!
Ready to prime.😎
