Jessy, just FYI, Avoid using Alc inks. Over time the colors will fade off into some ugly shades from sunlight or when exposed to UV light, or will even burn as the resin heats up. That is why your pretty light purple turned into that very ugly reddish brown in all but the thinnest parts That's trademark alc inks for purples to do that. Also why that bright color for the flames dull to such an extreme. Blues will also fade to a puke yellow, and others may lose their pigment altogether. Instead use resin dyes (be careful as some brands have started re-branded alk inks as dyes). Same effect, but their design to pigment resins. Alc inks are NOT designed for resin, though many brands buy them in bulk (often from the same place) slap their logo on them, and market them for resin... Their proper use is on paper. Saying something is for something doesn't always make it true. That's like buying glue in bulk and slapping a label on it and marketing it as a skin care product. Or how we now see a LOT of milk/latte frothers advertised as 'resin mixers'. Edit: To tell for sure rather you are using dyes vs alc inks. Dyes when a drop is added to resin will remain a drop and not really move much at all. Alc inks when a drop is added will sit on the surface and rapidly spread out and 'move' as the alcohol evaporates in the air.

As a long-time model builder, one of the things that's commonly used to make clear parts 'clearer' is (in the USA) Future floor polish. It's an acrylic clear and it self-levels really well. Wonder if it would work as well? No mask needed, and you just drop it onto a paper towel to drain.

Care to elaborate? Have you ever tried it on a PLA or PETG part?

@davethepak Год назад

interesting video. Thanks for making it. So, as someone who has used "dipping" (what it is called in other hobbies) and worked with gloss sprays - here is a bit of info on what is going on. First off - a gloss coat (lacquer or otherwise) can not make the material in an object more or less transparent. What it DOES do, is smooth out any existing imperfections which can diffuse the light which might be making an object appear less transparent than it is. (think like a pair of glasses or clear plastic with a lot of scratches). So something that looks less transparent can be improved quite a bit if its current surface is not perfectly smooth. Similar to how sanding and buffing would render a surface polished and allow maximum light transmissivity - the gloss instead of removing material to smooth the surface, fills in the small gaps and imperfections - thus, giving similar results. The red resin test piece was not that transparent to begin with, so making its surface more smooth - did not have significant results. The yellow was a bit more transparent material, so it had a somewhat more profound effect. Gloss also makes the surface more reflective - more shiny - which can also help with appearance. Most glosses can achieve this affect (obviously, with some variance on their own optical clarity and chemical compositions). There are many brush on (or can be applied with an airbrush) varnishes (many water based) which can give this affect - and an old hobbyist trick was also to use some of the older acrylic floor polishes - as they could be used similarly (many are no longer available) and were a cheap source by volume of gloss acrylic finish (a few others mention this - I have a big jug of minwax on my painting table next to my airbursh). Spray can varnish can also do this, but getting consistent coating on oddly shaped objects can be a challenge at times. The main benefit of the various dipping varnish is that typically it is a more durable surface - which for some (war gamers who are going to handle a piece a lot) is important, but others maybe not (an art piece going on a shelf). Side note: if ever using a varnish (spray can especially) make 100% sure the target piece is dry - if it has a high moisture content, the varnish can fog or get hazy as the moisture interacts with the other chemicals in the curing process. Anyway, thanks for the vid - hope this info was useful to build upon the cool stuff in the video.

@josephpk4878 7 месяцев назад

I use polyurethane varnish (Varathane) on my FDM prints for this type of finish and it works great - also strengthens the print, a bit. I got tired of using fillers and sanding and just took my print and dunked it into a can of Varathane and then hung it to drip-off. With one final sanding of the top layer, it hides the layer lines and takes paint well. If you're using multiple coats, you need to recoat within the specified times, to avoid applying over under/over cured finish coats.

@rallywagon261 2 года назад

Pro tip. Use a length of fishing line, dip the tip into the UV resin then using the UV flashlight cure it onto the inconspicuous spot on the print. Then dip the print into the lacquer and hang by the line. Once its dried, get in with some snips and cut the fishing line as flush as you can.

@Calamity_Jack 2 года назад

@TD3DMakes Год назад

Thanks for sharing, I've been meaning to try this method for a while now, looks like you got some nice results. I made a video a couple years ago on getting clear prints with a slightly different method. I print in the clear resin first, then use the alcohol inks after applying them directly to the print. This keeps my clear resin clear without contaminating the rest of the container. I use the clear coat spray can after to make them crystal clear.

I love using “Rustoleum triple thick Glaze spray” on my clear prints after curing, two coats. I also dry it in complete darkness, seems to help with the yellowing.

I use the Triple-Thick Crystal Clear Glaze from Krylon and the results are awesome. I'm betting that they are pretty much the same thing.

You could air-brush the lacquer on your prints once the level in the can has dropped, or onto larger pieces. No need to buy compressed gasses Perhaps shellac is a better option, as it is 'organic' since it is a resin secreted by the female lac bug. It also comes in different colors.

@madp3d 2 года назад

I've only been resin printing for two weeks now. But, I have been applying clear coats to woodwork, metals and painted miniatures for 40 years, as well as painting numerous cars. Most of these finishes will yellow and crack over time. You will always lose surface detail and sharpness. I avoid using clear coats whenever possible as they are permanent, forever. For woodwork, I prefer polishing wax coatings and oils. They can be re-applied to "brighten" years later and do not build up, losing detail. The best clear coats are automotive as they are intended to withstand heat and extended UV exposure, but they could melt the resin. Not sure on that. All of this being said, most of these products are highly flammable and toxic, not to mention bad for the environment. My old age and wisdom (hehe) says "less is better". Thanks Jessy

@komosky 2 года назад

@Calamity_Jack 2 года назад

I wonder how airbrushing automotive clear coat on resin prints would work out? Clear coats are designed to not yellow in the sun (easily at least) and are pretty tough coats to be able to stand up to weather, scuffing, etc.

@madp3d 2 года назад

@@Calamity_Jack Totally agree. They are usually "thinned" and applied in very thin coats. I am not set up to do that kind of stuff anymore but would love to see someone try it. Napa Auto Parts in Canada used to mix automotive paints in rattle cans. Not cheap, but far better than off the shelf spray paints. I am going to see if they still do it. If you are going to try airbrushing, it is usually a 2 part mix and it is highly toxic. Use proper PPE. Thanks for the reply.

@Calamity_Jack 2 года назад

@@madp3d Good stuff, thx!

@OldManRogers 2 года назад

You'll need to cure beforehand as many varnishes and lacquers tend to have uv protective components to prevent sun bleaching. The gloss lacquer essentially fills all of the gaps and dries to a smooth finish hence why it looks so transparent. The matte effect is because of micro imperfections in the print (eg the layer lines) which will diffuse light whereas the gloss is as if you dipped it in glass. For drying a wire rack might be helpful to avoid pooling although removing excess is still best. Also old wargaming trick: coloured lacquer can leave nice effects because the pigment will settle more in the recesses Finally for gigantic things painting it on should work as the lacquer should be reasonably self levelling

@jimmysgameclips 2 года назад

Thats an awesome tip, now I want to see a video on that

@OldManRogers 2 года назад

@@jimmysgameclips It's the same principal as gloss vs matte varnish on miniatures. Gloss essentially dries super smooth so has maximum reflectiveness where as a matte surface is 'bumpy' which stops the shine. Satin varnish is half way between. Some mini painters will put a layer of gloss on a model before using a thinned paint or oil wash so that it flows better (although with dedicated washes such as citadel/games workshop shades they are formulated to flow regardless)

@TheIcemanModdeler 2 года назад

Glad u covered it at the end, yeah it might be better to just spray paint or airbrush a glossy varnish over it, the issue is after washing prints in IPA it tends to fog them and i've seen people polish prints after curing using a dremel with polishing head and paste. Working on a project now that involves printing multiple bases in transparent resin, think i'll get Siraya Simple Transparent, will have to figure out the print settings, someone recommended using something like 1.5 sec exposure per layer, prob because it's transparent. Not sure about tinting it in the vat, i will prob just paint it with my airbrush using transparent paint.

@masamasa1815 2 года назад

I never had much luck making my resin prints clear unless I sand down the layer lines. I find there is just to much light refraction coming off of the layer lines. You can fill the layer lines in with a clear gloss of some sort but at the point where the layer lines are filled clear gloss becomes opaque. The fine scratches from a high grit sandpaper are filled in much easier by a gloss coating giving you that nice clear ice look. Sometimes hard work is the best way.

I used this technique for chess pieces to give them that polished look. Be careful as the lacquer can chip off and crack. Has issues sticking to plastic

Try using floor varnish to dunk it in instead of lacquer. Works for me in clear resin.

The Bubbles you're noticing is from uncured Resin. you're supposed to leave a little hole in the model so you can drain any resin that gets trapped in there, then you can fill it. though if you're doing a clear print, that might be harder of course. id probably fill it with clear resin after printing, im not sure.

@cellphone7223 Год назад

Can the resin that is broken away from the model be re-used? Or is it going in the trash....

@johngriffin5446 2 года назад

if you use a long support piece and cure it to a corner of the model you can then hang the item to dry from that support

@zero00044 Год назад

Just had a thought. He mentioned bubbles which is also a problem with epoxy resin. Some epoxy resins have a long enough work time to use a vacuum chamber to remove all the air. Since uv resin doesn't cure the same way, has anyone ever tried using a vacuum chamber on the resin before printing to see if it does anything? Just got my first resin printer the other day and actually can't find anything online about this.

Have you edited the mask sculpture ? I've bought the same file and my file on the mask part have a super gray chunk that makes very heavy the mask. Thanks for the video !

@alluringskull1679 2 года назад

What filament did you use for the mask/hand base?

@angellaracuente6343 Год назад

7:15 did you try or if you did can you tell me, putting the bucket into a spray bottle and see how well that work like if your was using the spray can

@MrMadeinthe80s 2 года назад

Or you could just pour the lacquer into a container with a larger opening?

I saw some model maker dunking some miniature airplane canopie on windex and the result looked great. It creates a sort of thin layer ziping and highlighting the structure. Translucent...no but shine and realy clean...yea!

@jamesmyers2087 2 года назад

Jess, this is off topic for this vid, but I asked on another where you were reviewing a printer with a resin reservoir feeding system how difficult it was to clean it, tubes and what. If you see this, could you explain how easy or difficult you found it to be?

Uncle Jessie wats the best 3d printer For student Jewelers first time printing??

@ray24051 2 года назад

You will probably get about the same result or even better results using something like a Krylon triple Glaze clear coat. I have used it when I made my Blade Runner blaster grips, I printed the grips in translucent resin then airbrushed them with translucent orange paint and then I hit it with the triple clear coat and they are absolutely glossy.

@TristynRusselo Год назад

no need to buy anything. paint with clear resin! wash, paint with resin, cure

@colemirek 2 года назад

Does this trick do anything for FDM printing or just resin?

@mithrandir404 2 года назад

Have you heard anything about elegoo shipping out the pre orders of the Jupiter? I'm suppose to get this shipped to me in August after they moved the date back a month. I only seem to get an automated response when I email them to ask for updates

@andreojuegosyestrategia1266 Год назад

Great video! Thanks, is the clear resin you paint water base? What type of color paint you used to paint it? Do you have a link? Thanks!!

@tabletopmika4349 2 года назад

Never dip, always a brush. That is something that I have learned from using The Army Painter's quickshade dips for my wargaming miniatures.😆

@hoofty37 Год назад

To get the super deep gloss you need to rotate the part slowly while the lacquer is drying. It allows a thicker coat without running off the part. Just dip and remove slowly. Let drip for a few minutes then put on a rotary drying rack. A bbq rotisserie motor or an epoxy tumbler turner works great. I've gotten nearly glass clear finished pieces using anycubic eco clear resin and lacquer clear coat. Look at videos of dipping fishing lures and you'll see what I mean about rotating the parts. Personally I find using epoxy gives the best finish though.

@error404civicnotfound 2 года назад

I believe you could also use glossy clear coat spray paint too! It’s probably a lot more convenient too!

@UncleJessy 2 года назад

yep! exactly what I mention towards the end. Cool option to dip but might stick with spraying clear sprays

@komosky 2 года назад

use aerosol lacqeur you wil get 1000x better results

@couryrussell7653 Год назад

Could dunking work for FDM pieces too?

What would it do with transparent PLA?

@anthonyriccardella6858 2 года назад

can anyone recommend a good lower price respirator like the one he is using in the video? Thanks so much!

@5RandomThoughts Год назад

You could use the spray lacquer by minwax. It works the same way. You just get a lot more when you buy the quart.

@The.Achilles 2 года назад

Just get some liquitex high gloss medium. I did this on some clear blue resin water I printed and after cure it was all foggy until I put the Liquitex on it. After that it become completely clear.

@FrankJonen 2 года назад

How about tinting the lacquer instead?

@charlescarpenter9098 2 года назад

Maybe experiment with tinting the lacquer just a bit to create a wash. As a mini painter, a good dark wash is a fantastic tool because it sinks into all the tiny crevices adding a ton of definition. Army Painter used to sell a dip that people would use the exact same way that you did in the video.

Does anyone know if this would prevent cure inhibition in casting resin statues in Plat Silicone?

@cherish9634 Год назад

What is that air compressor that you’re using? It is that a little tiny one? I would love to have an air compressor in my project room. I have my big air compressor in my garage but I would not bring that in the house.

My Jupiter just came in and I’m stuck overseas for work for the next 2 months 😭 I’m stuck watching your videos to add to my to do list for when I get back and can start printing
