Hi all, some 10+ years ago I've received a bottle of experimental UV-resin from Fernando (spota) -- found the bottle in the basement and it was still fluid. So tested it with "standard setting", same as for a common white resin (in the last image) -- looks like perfect prints! ... after 10 years in the basement (with broken cap) :)-D [attachment 113143 AltesResin1-abtropfend.jpg] [attachment 113144 AltesResin3-fertig.jpg] ... here the white resin (with a printing error): [attachment 113145 WeissesResin-Fehldruck.jpg] https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?184,861631,861631#msg-861631 Wed, 13 May 2026 00:07:02 -0400 Phorum 5.2.23 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?184,861631,880948#msg-880948 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?184,861631,880948#msg-880948

and I did follow the recipe to a point, Does Benzoin Isobutyl Ether work at 405nm?]]> 12345lance Polymer Working Group Sat, 30 Nov 2019 17:25:47 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?184,861631,863424#msg-863424 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?184,861631,863424#msg-863424 VDX Polymer Working Group Sat, 30 Nov 2019 17:04:03 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?184,861631,863423#msg-863423 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?184,861631,863423#msg-863423 VDX Polymer Working Group Sat, 30 Nov 2019 17:01:06 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?184,861631,863422#msg-863422 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?184,861631,863422#msg-863422
I did get around to procuring all the materials for the resin, but I just can't get it to cure in my 3D printer! (Its an LCD machine)
But it does cure in the UV lamp I have, just not in the printer!
Any idea why?]]> 12345lance Polymer Working Group Sat, 30 Nov 2019 16:56:33 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?184,861631,862423#msg-862423 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?184,861631,862423#msg-862423 VDX Polymer Working Group Wed, 13 Nov 2019 14:41:19 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?184,861631,862420#msg-862420 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?184,861631,862420#msg-862420
I remember reading many times that post
As Fernando (spota) says in this Link (2008) the chemicals and recipe are:

Per 100g of UV-curing resin:
3g of Benzil CAS: 134-81-6
1g of Benzoilisobutylether (BIsoBE) CAS: 119-61-9
1g of MDEA CAS: 105-59-9
0.5g of EDTA (CAS: 60-00-4, 150-43-6) or 0.1g of Hydrochinone (CAS: 123-31-9)
complete to 100g with Polyester resin.

I've put CAS numbers on last two.

First i need to start building my FDM printer before an incursion into SLA, but i'm afraid that i'm not sure that i can get all the chemicals here (Argentina) i need to send some emails to suppliers before trying.

Also This comment says something about buying from hong kong these chemicals, i wonder if someone tried that]]> Ari_yo Polymer Working Group Wed, 13 Nov 2019 14:01:57 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?184,861631,861640#msg-861640 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?184,861631,861640#msg-861640
