Test of Blue-Cast: compatible and castable resin

#184

@RickyMcG - Could you please share the file for the skull ring? I want to make a pen holder out of it.

You can give a try to BlueCast LS (low shrinkage)

#186

This requirement to immediately cast after printing is not something my workflow can tolerate.

#187

I’ve bought Daylight Castable resin. Here’s my best print with Castable V2 0.025 settings.
I can’t get any further print after this point.
Printing with Grey resin settings was even worse.

What can I try next? Can someone advice what to do?

Daylight castable? The one from photocentric3D? That’s not suitable for the Form2.

#189

Are you sure? I bought this according recommendation that it is suitable.

#190

Interesting… Daylight resin is formulated to be highly reactive.

They sell a UV castable resin specially designed for the form2:

Hey @rclaborne! Did you ever mention how much boric acid to add to the investment? Is there a ratio?

#192

Start with 1.5% of water weight. Increase to 2% if not hard enough.

#193

Does anyone have burnout cycle for Bluecast X10? Is it the same as original?

#194

For X10 you can butnout just like Wax, just use the burnout recomended by your investment.
I do even shock burnout with phosfate bonded investment, invest and after 20 minutes just put the flask in preheated oven at 900 deg C , hold for 1 hour and cast. This is for CrCo alloy casting

Hi, 3d_garage
What casting machine do you use to cast this?

#196

I can print bluecast with Form3? I have tried to print with casteble wax resin ‘purple’ but I have had a bad experience. Someone knows a solution to this problem?
