Form 1 / 1+ / 2 3rd Party Resin Settings Master List

#551

@fantasy2 I’m having an issue with your cartridge module. I sent you an email and PM a week ago, is there a better contact for you?

I’ve been using DigitalForge3d resin. I’ve printed maybe half a liter and it’s great. Not a single issue with prints and the price is awesome. So far I’ve been using it in closed mode by pouring it into an empty cartridge. I have not tried it in open mode, but hopefully when I get @fantasy2’s cartridge module working, I won’t ever have to. I’ll post some pics of my next print batch.

Oh wow, it completely dried up?!

Nice to hear! Very cheap resin indeed. I’ve sent you an email, please check it.

Hi Dave
I have just read your post in the Formlabs forum. I am disappointed because you wrote a negative post without giving us any chance nor time to answer your email from yesterday 18/10/2018. We received your email yesterday at 8 pm European time. I am answering now in the morning…
You wrote a complaint in the forum at the same time as you sent us an email, not giving us any chance of explaining how the product has to be handled.
3Dresyn HDT1 is a liquid which tends to solidify naturally after one day or so. This is due to its intrinsic chemical nature. It has a incredibly high Tg. It tends to crystallise naturally before polymerisation. This process is 100% reversible since the material has not polymerised nor become solid and unusable.
It is 100% usable and ready to print. It just needs a gentle warming in the microwave or in a water bath to become liquid again. Once liquid has low viscosity and it is incredibly rigid even at very high temperature.

Best regards

My apologizes but this should be something you tell a customer or at least give a heads up on the bottle If it starts to solidify after 1 day! and if there is a process that needs to happen before it is usable then this to should be on the bottle so reviews like this doesn’t happen. ( I see you added a note on your website or maybe I missed it ) A gentle warming in a microwave? Do you any perimeters for reheating in the microwave? I don’t want to degrade it by over heating. If this sits in my tray for more then a day is it going to solidify in my tray during storage? I can’t microwave the tray as theirs metal in it & in open mode the tray will not heat. I must say I am discouraged at the lack of up front info. I have heard a lot of good things about 3dresyns. I will think about if i even want to try using this resin now as I don’t want to risk ruining it before i get to even print with it as it is a pricey resin. I will wait for your reply.

Hi Dave
I accept your apologies. Next time, please wait for our reply before writing a negative post.
As corrective action, to avoid this happens again with another customer we will add a note on the label saying: “warm it gently until melting before using” or we will send an email to the customer with detailed usage instructions, besides the technical information already published in our website www.3dresyns.com and specifically in https://www.3dresyns.com/pages/3dresyn-hdt1

3Dresyn HDT1 has to be warmed up gently in a microwave or even better in a water bath at around 60C until the solid melts and becomes liquid. If you choose to melt in the microwave (put the tap to the bottle to avoid the light of the microwave starts the photopolymerization reaction) please do it gently in steps of 30-45 seconds and shake it, then repeat the process until full melting of the product. After printing, transfer the resin left in the resin tank back to the original bottle. The material will not degrade if it is heated at 60C. Be careful with exposing it to room light since it will react with light as any SLA DLP 3D resin.

I would like to encourage you test it and value its extremely high deflection temperature (rigidity) at room and even very high temperature. Once polymerised in the printer, its softening point and deflection temperature is around 290C, just below 300C.
Remember to print it in open mode in Formlabs clear version 2 settings. All our standard resins have been fine tuned to these settings.
For more detailed instructions we can communicate privately by email or by phone. Please use this contact email as contact: info@3dresyns.com

Hi!

I would like to ask, if someone has succeeded with UV Photocentric Hard Cear resin ?
My Form 1+ printer flawlessly the Maker’s Muse Snowflake Latt in 0.1mm layer height and Clear V4 settings, but I wanted to print with lower layer height and I cannot succeed… (tryed Grey V4 and Clear V4 again)

I’m looking forward to response
Thank you

Lukas

Your form 1+ allows you to change a lot of parameters so I would try to play with that instead of the standard profiles.

#558

@fantasy2 you mean to experiment with OpenFL ?

Here are pictures of my issue with 0.050 layer height. It had to be pen from Formlabs Pinshape.

#559

You guys should really relax a bit. Forums are there for just that, now that this issue has been posted there is a record and information regarding this issue, which is useful because you obviously didn’t care to warn the consumers that this would happen.

Encouraging consumers to keep questions private only helps in raising the public’s suspicions…

#560

Has anyone successfully printed the new FL Castable Wax on the F1+ ?

#561

Hello, I am curious…did you manage to use the detax resin?

#565

Did anyone try using Accura (3d systems) resins on From printers ?
I heard it has slightly different wavelength and they need vat heater. I wonder if it still worked for someone ?
Or maybe someone modified printer to use it

#566

Does anyone have working settings for the bucktown EP200-V420-S for the form1+

I just bought 4kg of it so i hope i can get it to work

#567

There are some great tools in this thread. Thank you for the work you guys have put in to compile this info.

I brought home a Form 2 yesterday and only have some Elegoo black abs-like resin. Haven’t been able to find any profile info for this resin.

Anyone have experience or suggestions?

I’ll probably end up ordering something else on the list for the Form 2 if it’s more effort than it’s worth.

#568

i missed that this was an LCD/DLP specific resin. That wasnt a thing last time i had an SLA printer.

Glad i bought a small bottle.

Ordered some FTD resin but in the meantime i am going to mess with some of the Monoprice resin. Marketing says it is intended to work with laser printers as well as LCD and DLP.

I recognize that i still need to find a compatible profile. if i find anything useful, i will share the results. I got the form 2 for free and i dont have any work fro it so testing is the perfect use of machine time.

#569

Small chance that any of the LCD or DLP resins are going to work unfortunately…

#570

Yeah. Been catching up on new resin formulas.

The monoprice marketing claims it’s for laser sla printers. I’ve run every version of Grey, black, clear and castable profiles (most commonly suggested for other 3rd party resins) with no luck. They all cure but it’s over curing by a long shot. So much so that light dispersed by the laser reacting off the surface of the platform creates a huge “splash” of cured resin.

My FTD resin order has been delayed. I’m going to just have to order some formlabs so I don’t feel like a failure lol

#572

Not sure if anyone is still active here. I obtained a Form !+ and did a few prints out of the box with the Photocentric Flexible at Grey V4 and it worked VERY well. I just can’t get it to cure in post. Does anyone have any ideas on a setup. I did end up putting it in water and setting it under the light over night… it is better but still not done. I don’t really ant to have to cure for days and days.

#573

You really need a strong UV light and curing under water to get it tack free. It can help to wipe a layer of oil when done.

#574

When you say strong… is there a quantifier to that?

like these?
