@elianarose66 Wowie wow! I've heard these are a nightmare to maintain and run 😅 I hope it's smooth failing for you though 💛

I want to gather the collective brilliance of all resin printing power users out there so we can help each other. Anyone who does a lot of resin printing for engineering & additive manufacturing. Please join my Discord as I try to ramp up a community! discord.gg/T2KgFvuEvg

Sometimes I think about all the companies that have come and gone sharing stories of how amazing they're doing right up until the day they go bankrupt.

Finally got myself a nice tripod after breaking the last two $20 ones. Can you believe I'm still making content with my phone and zero other tools besides my rode lav mic? 😅 Total noob here

Warping during post cure is a common challenge for a lot of engineering resins 🫠 The No.1 culprit is inadequate drying of IPA after the parts have been washed. We let parts dry at least 24 hours before curing or accelerate the drying inside a dehydrator 🔥 Even after this, sometimes parts just warp. This is heavily dependent on geometry, print orientation, and internal stresses caused from the layer by layer build up 🤓 In these rare cases sometimes the only solution is to cure without heat (we do 3x duration, no heat), or to make a custom jig to hold things down ⚙️ The more you know 👍

Phil is going to be a Mythbuster some day! Or, he will be on the failure analysis team at @formlabs.

3D printing and additive materials have come a long way. Most people think resin prints are weak and brittle so I had a crazy idea for impact testing some parts 🤓 The end caps of these tubes are printed using @formlabs Tough 1000 resin, a new material with amazingly durable properties 🔥 These tubes are around 1 meter long and weigh about 30 lbs. We set up a scissor lift with a quick release mechanism inspired by the @MythBusters guys and dropped it a bunch from various heights, up to a max of 10 meters onto concrete 😱 The result? The parts survived. I honestly was blown away 🤯 Additive has come a long way 💪
