Hi Does anybody have any experience in reprapping objects that can hold water? What's the best way of waterproofing them after they've been made? I'm interested in experimenting with making siphon-based fluidic logic - inspired by hydrostatic fluidic systems like this: http://www.marcdatabase.com/~lemur/dm-gitton.html#clocktheory http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jFGVOWGnUpg&feature=related http://sites.google.com/site/simeonlapinbleu/gitton Will https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,102845,102845#msg-102845 Mon, 12 Oct 2026 06:10:25 -0400 Phorum 5.2.23 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,102845,102860#msg-102860 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,102845,102860#msg-102860 reprap.org] (from [reprap.org] )

It's fully possible to print a object which is watertight straight out of the printer, you need several fully filled bottom layers and several perimeters to ensure it's sealed though.

You can also smooth the surface of the print with acetone (works best with ABS), which could form a better seal.]]> Nudel General Mon, 24 Oct 2011 10:36:06 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,102845,102845#msg-102845 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,102845,102845#msg-102845
