I found this thread on third party resins, but it did not seem to offer much of a conclusion:
For reference, I will be printing another one of these STAT. It is needed for a trade show next week. My boss intends to next day air whichever resin I tell him to get. The print below was done using Vorex resin at .10mm using Grey 01 settings and turned out GREAT. Its a 5x scale of a little metal automotive body clip.
You should be able to easily mix red pigment with some grey resin to get red. A tiny amount of pigment goes a long way. Maybe after the mix print on the black setting instead.
Is the maker juice pigment the way to go? Or is there another company you might recomend?
I think my boss would rather just buy some print ready red, rather than trying to guess at what color we could get when mixing our own. The cost of the resin really isn’t much of an issue as long as it works.
Prints in MJSF come out great, and appear to be more elastic than FL - but perhaps weaker.
Mixing red pigment with CLEAR formlabs resin will give you a nice vibrant red. If you use white as a base you will require much more pigment to get past the “pastel” stage.
If using Clear 02 I would keep the settings as is before moving up to the black setting. If you have the time, I’d try both and see which works best for tinted clear resin and post results here
I use Oh So Strong pigments from Smooth-on with my 2-part resin. This also is a very strong coloring so only a little is needed. When my tray gets down to being near the end I may give it a try.
