Washing resin prints is a required post processing step in Resin printing but the washing solvent or solution doesn’t last forever and will eventually need to be replaced which can easily get expensive especially for a small business.
So in this video I’m going to explain how I recycle my 99.9% IPA after it has been saturated in resin from all the washes. 99.9% IPA washes resin great but is quite expensive so simply replacing it every time it gets saturated is not only expensive but wasteful.
Recycling & reusing your washing solvent such as my IPA is a great way to not only save money in an expensive hobby like resin printing but also helps out the environment as well!
The steps to recycle IPA is surprisingly easy & effective but isn’t always done because of the mess it can make as well as how tedious or time consuming it can be just to do.
(WARNING)
IPA and other resin washing solvents can emit fumes which can be an irritant so be sure you are wearing proper PPE in the form of eye protection & a respirator while performing this recycling process.
The solvents being recycled are flammable & the vapors emitted are even more so thus great care needs to be taken into consideration before & while attempting this process.
