Using Resin 3D Printing to Screen Print with the ELEGOO Jupiter 3D Printer 

ill try this with a premade frame you can buy, dont see a reason to print it at all :D

@@Insane_Kane you need a frame that allows you to put the silk screen touching the LCD screen. In the traditional way this is not necessary because the LCD screen is replaced with a transparency print placed on top the silk screen. You would still need the silk screen flat on top of the fabric to spread the ink so I believe this requisite is met, but check it first.

Thanks for watching!

Agree! 💯

Now I wanna try that

There are screen machines that do this

@@TimFleenor oh, the price will be 3x or 2x what your 3d printer cost, but yes there is the tools to easy out to screen print

I think you could re-purpose an old LCD 4K TV for this purpose.

Thanks!

I'm also curious about this step!

I was thinking make a frame that snaps onto the build plate that has the screen on it and then go for it

@@natemartin9283 that'd be interesting. then make a second frame to go on the shirt to index the frames, so you can do multiple colors

you need a FEP layer between the screen and the mesh, otherwise you'd never get the cured resin off the screen and it would drip into the printer guts. could be a single oversized sheet instead of the tank's sheet though

@@TheRealPlato I assumed it was obvious you'd have the vat installed as normal and have the screen on top of the FEP sheet, then level your build plate with the screen in place, so it doesn't push the screen into the LCD panel. Then when you do your cure you only need to do 1 base layer. The best would be if you had a WhamBam, since you could just flex the plate and peal the screen off.

yeah like a tight fitting embroidery screen frame @@natemartin9283

Standard screen printing ink. The manufacturer shown in the video was Speedball.

Congratulations on the new printer 🥳

It’s the Canadian accent haha 😉

hot print head would probably tear and melt that mesh? maybe some combination of very low melting point filament and high temperature mesh tightened to the max and trying to adjust printing height so that it doesn't tear. quick search turned out aluminium and pet meshes. maybe even the latter could handle it if used with some low melting point pla or such. also some glue which you can rinse away (maybe water soluble) could help keep the mesh down and intact. or maybe just print a stencil, maybe use it with a mesh over to keep things down and in place, although that would limit what you can print.

Most screens don't emit UV light and aren't designed for resin to sit on top of them.

I think this is common practice for photo emulsion. I don’t think it has the same environmental effects as photopolymer resins. I could be wrong tho!

Like contaminated IPA there isn't much you can do with it once it's contaminated I collect my used IPA but the only options are to bin it so landfill maybe burning or sewage!! Personally I put mine in the bin because I don't think it's good to dump contaminated ipa into the sewage system..

@@printitpaintit.2436 I keep contaminated IPA in a bucket so it settles. Once settled, extract the clean IPA from the top of the bucket for reuse The rest at the bottom of the bucket, you put get it to UV (lamp for a minute or the sun for a few hours) Once that is stable, THEN you can bin it If you cannot get it stable, deposit it in a waste disposal thing where they have a "chemical" sections If you want to use UV resin you first need to learn how to clean it ...

@@GregorifElfeNoir I know how to clean it and you can only reuse is a few times even after letting it settle in the sun for a week it's still sticky.. After a few weeks it's useless but we print 24/7 across multiple large printers and go through 10L of resin like it's water, definitely couldn't be dumping 8L+ every few weeks into sewage! In the UK most rubbish that is not recycled is taken directly to the local waste centre and burnt the same day, I think burning is better than going through a treatment plant and then local rivers..
