Siraya Tech Fast ABS-Like 3D Printer Resin 405nm UV-Curing Non-Brittle High Precision 3D Printing Liquid Standard Photopolymer Resin for LCD DLP 3D Printing(Grey, 1kg)

Product Information

Take the volume in ml from Slicers like Chuitubox Lychee and Vlare, divide by 1000 to get the weight of the model in wax and then multiply by the specific gravity for the gold you want to use and you’ll get a rough estimate of the weight of gold

As the name suggests, this resin is water-washable, allowing makers to clear prints fresh off the resin print bed using typical water rather than harsh isopropyl alcohol. Elegoo manages to offer this while keeping to the affordable prices we’ve come to expect from the company. Some figures 3D printed using Elegoo’s water washable resin.

A popular use of Tenacious is mixing it with standard resin to give it extra durability – this is just about the best mix for miniatures. We recommend medium preset support setting in Chitubox for smaller prints. Heavy support for large prints on large printers.

The curing of resin using UV lights is an exothermic process and causes temperature differences in the resin part. In the resin photocuring process, it is inevitable that printed parts shrink due to thermal contraction. Most resins are developed to limit this and have a shrinkage rate of around 3%. Siraya Tech’s asking price is markedly higher than more budget-oriented standard resins, but the extra spend is well worth it for the peace of mind of tough, flexible minis that won’t break at the first sight of strain. Furthermore, it’s more affordable than pricier specialist flexible resins, so it bridges the gap between a hobbyist budget and a high-quality resin. Resin printers cure the resin by emitting a specific wavelength of UV light. With typical budget resin 3D printers, this value is 405 nm. You need to ensure that the resin you’re choosing is formulated in such a way that it cures at this wavelength and has certain flexibility in the range. This is because resin printers might not always emit light strictly at 405 nm One of the popular resins for miniatures is Onyx Rigid Pro 410. It has a very low shrinkage rate, so it doesn’t warp the miniature after it’s been cast. It also has a high level of detail and a glossy finish, which makes it perfect for creating realistic-looking miniatures. Is water washable resin good for miniatures?

We like to thank many users, including VOG ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7MDl6ZeTrME) to help each other print and cast well. It’s also worth noting that Phrozen’s 8K resin has a low-odor formulation, which helps given the longer print times needed to produce 8K-quality prints. Like standard resin, 8K resin remains relatively brittle, so it’s better suited to ornamental minis than the rough-and-tumble of the tabletop. Best Resins for Miniatures Cast is an affordable castable resin designed for lost wax method. Below is the recommended print setting, cleaning, curing and burn out recommendation. Tenacious reached its optimal strength when the printed part is post-cured with UV after cleaned. Use 395-405nm UV light and cure for about 25 minutes.
