very nice of anycubic to send me my resin free shipping, came in 1 day in time to fill my tank mid print if i had wanted. Made me think of how in the future, will houses come with a direct resin pipeline?

in #resinprinting5 months ago

anyone hwre have a resin printer?

& Has anyone made a resin IV tank? or alcohol iv wash pump? its like the tank runs out but i feel a small tube and an iv of resin could allow me to keep going without ever spilling 3d printer resin

btw i think you should all spend 100 to 150 and start 3d printing . u can always use the sun to cure so u dont need a curing machine but ull end up wanting one lol

And wed pay for our resins from a utility like our gas or electric bills, if we end up printing SOO much, i mean in the future if this technology has breakthroughs in single machine curing , and materials, super fast printing, non toxic printing, edible printing, and super small resin printers built into other machines that can just print parts that come out like a vending machine

i mean sure we could fill up resin at a gas station type deal but if we were to use enoigh resin in the future wouldnt we just want a direct pipeline or is that an ecological nightmare?

are people waiting for a more non toxic 3d printer resin to ever come out? i mean even with current resins i bet 3d printing all our objects at home instead of buying overseas manufactured plastic in stores and in mail could be better i dunno

i mean if were gonna be buying this much resin... and since i just got a canon regular paper printer witu those ink tanks and tubes i was wondering also about if theres any resin printers with a TANK of resin and why not? i guess because most people use different types but i mean if youre using one type of resin why not have a machine with a tank and a tube that just fills it up? i mean do people make little resin IV rigs out of upside down bottles ?

i mean it seems like itd be really smart for large scale printing and not spilling and being able to let some sort of bluetooth smart nozzle im sure you can buy, to control the flow and even a pump to drink it all back up, and a water and an alcohol iv to also wash it all out WITHOUT needing to unscrew the plate, is that not the future of an all in one resin printer ?

i wonder why the plate arm cant lift and pivot to another container to dip and magnetic flex release with little blocks that push out from behind the plate using those super flush metal cuts, like a washer dryer for 3d printing and also would have a blow dryer with a little smart nozzle and canera to aim it, i mean im sure youve all imagined the perfect robotic 3d printer

maybe this is all stupid but what if resin printing becomes so good with future developments that in 50 years we are printing stuff in minutes or seconds and even somehow inclueing certain angles and types of metal conductive wiring, and maybe componentss could be somehow in the goo in the tank arranged via some loose skelaton of wires made of some clear resin that can be squished and wont damage screen

, so u could arrange internal electronic conponents u cant resin print into the print as you print so it comes out fully assembled and ready to pop a battery in and leds turn on etc like if i were to print a lightsaber with leds i could do it all at once and not have to assemble it , now that would make this more popular

but what are the real tangible improvements we may see with 3d resin printing in the next decade?

(i recomend trying resin printing with the machine i have from creality i got from walmart for 99 bucks i think because itbwas mislabeled as an elegoo bit they mispelled it as another brand "cacagoo" lol i bought a cacagoo 3d printer but itbwas a creality halot one worked perfectly its around 100 bucks still i hoghlh recomend it and find a used uv curing station ir make sure to buy the corrext uvs if u try to go cheap with that, make sure u can make the powerful stiring machine i mean i got mine cheap for 35 bucks on dollar hog hah usually its like 130 but u can make ur own curing machine and 5 dollar solar powered rotator dish and use sunlight to cure also

its $150 new or 100 to 130 used and used isnt so bad as long as they show the screen is clean and u can alcohol clean it and u can always get new tank also and it comes with extra tank cover thing as well,

but yeah u do have to buy resin for like 10 to 20 a bottle and i got 3 for 80 of HIGH CLEAR usually 40 a bottle but 1 bottle when used correctly with few supports can really last a while its 1kg so u can make almost 1 kg of stuff thats a whole big tabletop full of hollow figures

heres some of mine

and clear stuff is soooo cool, just one clear x wing model and ull be like woah this is worth it as u can make a whole cabinet of glass like clear star wars ships WITH stands for this 100 dollar printer (150 new) and a 20 dollar bottle of clear resin or 40 for hogh clear of i want GLASS or u can polish regular clear and use clear coat

oh and they have cheape resin printers from elegoo smaller but on sake like 60 bucks hah look at that

so u can get one of those and clear resin and start for like under 100 bucks and youll get hooked and realize the resin is no big cost for what ur able to make

i am gonna make a nice clear hive logo both 2d and 3d soon

and yeah i resin 3d printed that hexagon basket!

i ordered alcohol dyes so i can experiment with different colors too
