How to dispose of 3d printer resin？

 Liquid photosensitive resin is the main material for 3D printing. The photosensitive 3D printer resin is uv resin, which immediately causes polymerization reaction and completes curing under the irradiation of ultraviolet light of a certain wavelength. Compared with FDM printer wire, photosensitive resin has higher precision, smooth surface and less lines, and very strong plasticity.

Photosensitive resins are widely used and there are many types. For example, we have standard resin, water washable resin, dental resin, engineering resin, and jewelry casting resin.

Since resin is a liquid material that is slightly toxic in itself, we need to handle it safely in 3D printing.

How to clean 3D printer resin?

Make sure you wear gloves, goggles, etc. when pouring resin into the bucket, or when you need to add more resin during the printing process.

Expose the resin print to sunlight (or other UV light) until fully cured. If you want to throw away a product that failed to print, be sure to cure it first. After curing, the resin is no longer hazardous. Never pour resin down the drain as it can damage pipes and even the environment.

After printing, the molded parts need to be cleaned several times with alcohol to ensure that there is no sticky liquid resin on the surface.

Summary: When printing with 3D printer resin, be sure to wear gloves and other protective tools; after printing, you can use alcohol to clean the uncured resin; before discarding the resin, please perform post-curing treatment. If you want to save time on cleaning, then water washable resin will be a good choice. eSUN's WO100 Water-Washable Ortho Model Resin is used as a dental resin with safe ingredients, high precision, and washable.

3D Printer Filament: A Complete Guide

Image
 Introduction: In the realm of 3D printing, the choice of 3d filament can significantly impact the quality and characteristics of your printed objects. Understanding the different types of  3D printer filament  is essential for achieving the desired results. This blog aims to provide a detailed overview of various 3d printing filament options available in the market, helping you make informed decisions for your 3D printing projects. Understanding 3D Printer Filament 3D printer filament is the material used for 3D printing, typically in the form of spools or coils. It is fed into the 3D printer, melted, and extruded layer by layer to create three-dimensional objects.  3D printing filament s  come in a wide range of materials, each with its unique properties and applications. Types of 3D Printer Filament PLA (Polylactic Acid):  PLA filament  is one of the most popular choices among 3D printing enthusiasts. It is derived from renewable resources such as c...

What is the difference between PLA and PLA+ filament?

Image
 PLA (Polylactic Acid) and PLA+ (PLA Plus) are both types of  3D printer filament  commonly used in the field of additive manufacturing. While they share similarities, there are a few key differences between the two. Material Composition: PLA and PLA+ are both derived from renewable resources, typically made from corn starch or sugarcane. However, PLA+ filament incorporates additives or modifiers to enhance its properties compared to standard PLA. Strength and Durability:  PLA+ filament  is generally stronger and more durable than standard PLA filament. The addition of modifiers, such as impact modifiers or heat-resistant agents, improves the material's resistance to impact, bending, and deformation. This increased strength allows for more robust prints, reducing the likelihood of breakage. Printing Temperature: PLA+ typically has a higher printing temperature compared to standard PLA. While PLA filamentusually prints well around 190-220°C, PLA+ filament usually...

What are the pros and cons of pla filaments?

Image
 PLA, or polylactic acid, is the most commonly used  3d printing materials . PLA is an environmentally friendly material that is easy to print and is more environmentally friendly than other plastics. eSUN's pla+ is FDA-approved and safer to use. So what are the characteristics of pla filaments? Advantages of PLA 3D printing materials Finished products: 1. The printed surface is smooth 2. Easy post-processing 3. Biodegradable 4. Available in various colors or easily made into colors 5. Drying can increase the hardness During manufacturing: 1. 3D printing is fast and easy 2. Lower printing temperature 3. Low shrinkage Disadvantages of PLA 3D printing materials Finished product: 1. Not durable 2. Soften (may bend or twist) at about 140°F (60°C) 3. Not resistant to UV light During manufacturing: 1. Absorb moisture in the air 2. Sometimes the print head is blocked PLA is one of commonly used 3d printing materials. Whether it is printing equipment or materials, the price is relativ...
