> I’m building a test resin heater to see if that will help tough resin prints. I just got a bottle of tough, have yet to try it, but from all I’ve read, it’s viscosity can make it difficult to use. warming it up should help with that. I saw how someong before used a chicken coop heater, which was neat, but I wanted to avoid heating everything with forced air, focusing instead on just heating the resin. This technique uses a reptile terrarium heating wire (submerged) and a temp control w/ thermoc…

What is the temp of the resin in the tank? Many were having issues with tough resin which is also very thick like flexible. I heated the resin to about 35C/95F and it thins out to clear’s viscoscity and prints wonderfully.
