You could save some more time if the nozzle cap is removed and the needle is pulled out the front of the airbrush. That way paint is not being dragged through the dry end of the airbrush. It is only the wet end of the airbrush that should need cleaning (everything in front of the needle packing). With the nozzle cap off, there is access to clean from the needle packing forward. I do not know about the Neo but, the Iwata Eclipse's needle packing is quite deep into the body and lots of paint can collect and dry in there; especially if backflow paint mixing.
I’m not sure if I could drag it out of the front. That could speed up cleaning more time. I’ll try it out! I’m just used to removing the needle before the nozzle cap. Thank you so much for the
@@FrankMontano Just be careful raking off the nozzle cap for the first time. Take the needle out first, just in case. The Iwata nozzle caps can be on there really tight if they have never been removed. Only use a long, soft bristle brush to clean the inside of the nozzle...no metal brushes/pipe cleaners.
🧠 🧠 🧠 awesome video series really enjoyed it! Definitely looking to take my models to the next step. Question: how many copies can you get out of one mold? Like, do the molds degrade after using them?
Thanks for watching! I'd say it depends on how often you pour, which heats the molds. And if you're doing it often I feel like it starts to harden the molds which can cause it to get brittle. But typically 15-25 pours. Thought I'm not sure how long the 20-T will last.
It's a Paasche spray booth. It's good for small parts and painting a few things at a time. I left a link on the video description. Scroll down to the end and have a look.
Thanks man!! Yes some sculpting content is definitely coming. Typically it’s done at home with my kids around and I still haven’t set up a dedicated filming space yet😅
Hey man. First time watching your videos, and I literally know 0 about pouring resin, however the thought came to mind when you mentioned you have to shake the molds when pouring to avoid air pockets, have you ever tried using a vibrator to vibrate the mold as you pour? Maybe it's a dumb idea, but probably something I would give a shot if I was in your shoes. Btw, keep lt up and keep sober, sober is the new high, power to you 🎉
Hey! Well thanks and welcome!! It’s a really idea that could work. I have a vacuum chamber that sucks up all the air but hardly use it. 😅 Especially if I only have 3 minutes.
nice video :) those casts came out awesome overall! gona try lego on my next molds! Pressure pots dont force the air out of the resin btw, vacuum pots pull/force the air out, but obviously cant vacuum a mold and pull all the resin out haha, the pressure pots increase the pressure causing any air bubbles left to get comppressed down to tiny tiny sizes, and then the resin hardens around that so you just dont see them because they are so small. At least thats how I understood it🤷♂ could have missunderstood with the bubbles on the finger tips, when ive had that issue in the past, i found just pouring the resin with the mold tilted at a certain angle helps, so that resin can slide into the fingers along an edge allowing it to "get under" the air trapped in the finger tips, instead of coming from the top straight down trapping that air in the tips :)
Thank you so much for watching and your feedback clarifying! Really appreciate it. As for the bubbles I. The finger tips you are absolutely right! I didn’t give myself enough time to work them out but since have poured a couple with this technique. 🤝
They most likely are bad at some rate. I print just a handful of times a month and often leave for the night during printing. I also have two HEPA air scrubbers running and air out the studio after. I really haven’t felt any issues in the 4 years of printing. I’m fortunate to have a dedicated space to 3D print. Hope you find some info that helps support the decision to buy one!
Awesome work! and great video. I was wondering do I need a licence to sell Disney characters? I recently just got a 3D printer and want to make figurines.
