monger - great work - can anyone tell me the material properties of the b9 cherry red with the grey?
Is the mixed resin final part softer like wax, than the standard grey. I like the details of your results, but am making prototype parts that get some light handling and light function testing. Just curious if the red makes them softer or more delicate, or weaker?
Sometimes my mixed resin parts split (I think from trying to warp post printing) and sometimes they seem to seep long after. They definitely have alot more flex when first made but eventually harden up.
Thought about it. Haven’t had time to try it. I have a feeling it won’t work though. The b9 resin (or at least part of it) seems to cure using visible light, not just UV, so the Form1 just cures the uv part of the resin resulting in a very grainy print. Unless you add some formlabs resin into the mix, then it works very well.
Before you ask…Haven’t tried mixing formlabs castable with b9 resin either.
Does the B9creator printer use a different light than just the UV out of the projector ?
If I red correctly from all your experiences the best mix for quality and cast will be the 25/75 mix (clear/cherry) ?
Just a bit of B9 red resin feedback. I followed this thread 1.5 years ago and went with the grey and red mix and ended up happy with a 60/40 mix respectfully. Several months later I am now casting after printing with clear and red at the same ratio. I tried the castable blue and it does not give me any better results at twice the price. The red and clear mix gives me a great print and flawless casting and I am saving a ton of cash.
when do you use that resin what is your selection of the resin from Preform program?
Is open mode has choice for resin drop down resin selection?
Could please let me know?
Thanks
Hello all,
Does anyone have experience with mixing tough with clear (white,grey or black is also fine). In a 4/1 mixture app.
I would like to have a mix that is tougher then the clear (more flexible) but not as flexible as the though.
I’ve now made a small mixture and have uv cured it without the printer. This seems to work just fine.
Does anybody has an idea on the machine settings. Or should I just try the tough setting?
Any opinion is welcome.
Thanks in advance!
Are all of these tests being done in open mode? I would really like an open mode with more options! I’d like to turn on the heater and wiper, I’ll watch the fill manually.
