Resin Printing

Before you embark on your resin printing journey, there are a few things to consider. The first is space; while the printer has a much smaller footprint as compared to a regular printer, the actual workspace required would be a lot more. The resin used in printing is fairly toxic to the environment if not exposed to UV light; it also emits toxic fumes, so you should ideally set your printer in a well-ventilated area. You will also need a place to wash and cure your resin prints; typically, resin prints are washed in 99 per cent isopropyl alcohol, though you can also do this with a much lower percentage of alcohol, around 70 per cent. Curing can take place under direct sunlight or using UV light. If you want to simplify the process, I recommend getting a wash and cure kit; though it isn’t strictly needed, it will make life easier.
