Wash and cure times on resin labels

Feature Requests & Ideas

Hi Formlabs,

Can you add recommended wash and cure times / temps on the resin bottle labels. We frequently change between different resins and having this info to hand would make life a lot easier.

Just an idea.

Thanks Richard

Hello buddy, how are you?

Well just to understand you, this info isn’t shown to you in the display of the wash and cure machines automatically? Which WnC machines do you have?

They have a list with these for all the resins that you can print out and keep on hand for easy look up

Hi Richard,

Thanks for sharing your idea! Unfortunately, putting that information directly on the resin cartridges would be a bit tricky, since curing times differ depending on the curing station you use, so we would not be able to guarantee that the times printed on the cartridge work for your setup.
The best practice is therefore to consult the Formlabs support page for recommended wash and cure times (see here for Form Cure, here for Form Cure 2nd Gen., and here for Form Wash).
As @MattRForerunner mentioned, you can download the cure times as PDF to print them out for your print farm, and as brought up by @JoaoMarcos , a lot of our post-processing stations have presets for our materials as part of their UI.
I hope this helps!
