Experiments with removing 3d printing resin from Isopropyl Alcohol (IPA) with a siltation tube

I've been experimenting with removing solidified 3D print (UV Cure) resin from the Isopropyl Alcohol (IPA) washing vat. I built a siltation tube out of clear 3" PVC pipe (36" holds a gallon of IPA) that allows the cured UV resin to fall to the bottom of the tube. I drain the silt from the bottom of the tube with a valve and then filter and decant the IPA.
Items I suggest to replicate my tube:, which can be purchased at any local hardware store:
3" PVC tube (36-48" long)
[I used Clear so I could see what was going on, but opaque is cheaper and more easily available. It appears that 24-48 hours is as long as you need to let it sit before draining.]
3" to 1.5" PVC adapter
1-1/2" x 1/2" Schedule 40 PVC Reducer Bushing Spigot x FPT
1/2" hose bib with 90 degree (1/4 turn) ball valve
Thread Tape (Teflon)
PVC Solvent & Cement
I'll include Amazon Affiliate links to the above items so you can see exactly what I'm talking about...but I don't recommend you buy them there, as it is usually cheaper at a local hardware store.

PVC Solvent & Cement amzn.to/3GM7Ecz
I've also purchased these graduated cylinders, which I plan on using for decanting in the future... amzn.to/3L0Ot1g

Use a double valve setup. Close the bottom. Add a Section of tube between the two. The close the top. Drain the bottom. And then it won’t mix.

I was going to say the same thing. Add a second valve a bit higher and close it before draining off the bottom.

Instead of coffee filters would a filter made with diatomaceous sand that is used to filter above ground pool water?

@jay Summet I like the idea, however I think your ball valve is way to big. I’d say scale down to garden hose size and use a clear tube which will enable you connecting to the valve. Small valve will diminish the splash and see thru tube will allow you to decide when to close the valve

How do you handle the sludge building up on the walls and Bottom of the tube? Mine is almost completely clogged by now :(

Maybe I haven't used it enough, but so far I haven't gotten sludge buildup inside the tube. [I do have sludge that comes out of the tube, especially on the first "shot", which I then let settle in a graduated cylinder and after I pour off the IPA I pour the sludge away. However, it doesn't "stick" much, so I can rinse it out with a little bit of IPA.

@@summetj My tube had a 3-mm thick layer of sludge built up after 2 months of frequent use. But i also used 10l of resin in that time. So might just be the level of contamination on the IPA.

So it looks like you're doing what they call in chemistry a titration, (edited out my comments as I hadn't watched til the and a d saw you got a smaller valve, nice.) Keep up the good work!
@summetj
@summetj 6 месяцев назад
I'd call it siltration, as we are removing the (cured resin) silt from the IPA by letting it settle to the bottom. With a titration you may use a similar shaped vessel, but you are mixing to reactants to determine how much is needed for a chemical reaction.

You might also try to open the valve only a little bit
