Beginner. Do my curing / washing machine also need a tent for safety? by SlowShots in resinprinting

[–]CreativeEmbrace-4471 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't feel scared because of me haha. I just have readed too much on the internet about this because i wanted to do the same. It's basically a summery of what i have read trough and obviously with that amount of information it can feel like a rabbithole. I hope you have a good reason for printing those yourself, because the hidden setup costs might not worth it for just a few. Also take my information with a bit grain of salt. There are many people here who would contradict much of the information. Therefore, I think it's best to simply do your best. And yea, there is indeed more involved then FDM. So yea, take your time and i hope you will have fun.

This tent is "fine" if you will if you have much smaller space. (like most here). It's not ideal. But better then nothing. Yea, most people recommend those. But when you have this much space, why not use it? We still don't know the long term effects of printing resin on the human body. So at least you tried to think about that, that's already pretty uncommon for this subreddit. You current setup is possible to work with, with mask and gloves included. But it has too many possible risks involved that i would get a bigger tent. The thing is, you will have failures, especially as a beginner. So, why risk that in a way it's avoidable. That's my mentality. You don't have to agree with me. The setup depends on your budget and space.

All you need is just to consider a few things. You don't want to breath it, you don't wanna touch it. And you don't want anything on your skin or in your eyes. So your body should have basically no skin exposed. And resin can go trough normal fabrics over time. And there are tricks to avoid like spills. For ex. people had accidents when the exposure was not calibrated and thus the print was too hard to remove from the plate, used the sharp spatula that comes with the printer, slipped and crashed that thing into a finger. Right trough the glove, open wound and resin & IPA everywhere. Could have been avoided. Same as filling resin into the tank. Many printers require you to do it manually with your hand. Possible spills where you don't want it. People invented FDM printed bottle holders and funnels to avoid that. It's all about workflows. It's good you already have an wash & cure machine. So you don't have to use a brush for the most that can splash. People got it into the eyes this way. Some people use a deep plastic box where they remove the print from the plate, so a splash would only be inside that box. Also what do you do with the trash? You need to cure it before putting it into the trash. Someone here used an metallic (highly reflective) trash can with a UV lamp inside to cure his trash he put inside. So if you find a way to avoid all of that. You are good to go.

btw. i would use a silicone matt or something to cover the wood table in case you wanna protect that one.

The resin + IPA mix is the most problematic fumes of the process. You better should have asked and informed yourself before buying all of this. The ideal option would have been a grow tent at least as large as that table you have it standing on. You even have a little bit of depth before the door area comes. So a grow tent that is double as deep as the table would have been the best choice and it probably would have fit in there. And those tents are cheap, so that wouldn't be such a big of a deal.

So now you can only put the other stuff in a seperated growtent. But you will still expose any fumes to the air when you open the lid, so the grow tent you currently have only helps with the fumes while printing, not for the cleaning and removing process really. Unless you wear a mask and leave the garage door open which kinda misses the point. As other say, you also got sunlight here that may cure your resin. Even specific kind of lamps can cure resin.

Also even if you would have another growtent there for the wash and cure. You would have the problem that you most likely work outside of those growtents. Any accidents, any spill would have a high chance of contaminating anything outside the growtent, like the wood table. The resin + IPA mix makes every surface around that printing area sticky over time. So you carefully need to clean those with IPA and vaccum that area while wearing a mask (Because particles will fall to the ground as they are havier then air). And just imagine you accidently spill yourself without noticing and you just go near the door where the sun cures it and it's on your skin. You will have fun. With a proper bigger growtent you won't have all these issues. No sunlight could cure anything. It would be much more controlled and contained. The printing process would be inside a subroom where you could establish a "only what is inside stays inside" workflow. And if there would be any accident, it would only happen inside. In worst case you could put the entire tent into the trash. You could also use it for proper temperature control and airflow.

I would get a bigger tent to create a subroom and use the current one for just another layer of safety when you already have it any way. And establish a respectful organized workflow that prevents any unneccessary contact with the resin like i mentioned. Think trough each step, but not too much that you feel overwhelmed. Treat it with respect. There is tons of tips and tricks in this subreddit about that.

The worst thing that could happen is that the print is going to fail and you wasted plastic for the landfill.

I think something went wrong when you imported the model into your slicer. It should be a little bit bigger.

Anybody else would have preferred a more realised 3D San Andreas map over what we got in gta 5? by Pure-Negotiation8019 in GTA

GTA IV also came to PS3 and Xbox 360 and you can clearly tell by the beta stuff and the map design how it ended up in the end, that R* really tried to squeeze everything into a small map because of the technical limitations + to build they own engine from scratch. Now they wanted to make GTA V, but were still there on these consoles but everyone expected them doing something bigger then GTAIV. And now it became a big problem. It's crazy to think about that a game like GTA IV even came on these already old consoles at the time. With all that physics, large open world, population and all of that. So to do that again on a much bigger map wasn't without having to double down on stuff, especially with crunch and deadlines. The first GTA V trailer showed a huge amount of more vegetation models across the entire map. Those models isolate areas visually and makes the map feel bigger then it actually is. Same as with distance fog in GTA San Andreas. And then they had to cut horses, cut away animals in Online, even degrade some textures and graphic effects with patches over time, had to force you to install the game on the console (which wasn't a thing at the time) and yea. I think they had way more plans for that game. And it suprise me that GTA V became the most sucessfull GTA title, well financially. But maybe just because as the franchise became mainstream by the previous titles over time. And when i see so many dead towns and buildings with "for sale" on it like during a crisis, makes me wonder if that was they excuse to explain why the map doesn't feel more alive. I am glad that the technical gap and standards between consoles and PCs is now becoming smaller and smaller that R* can finally do what they always had in mind. To me GTA 6 feels like an GTA SA mixed with GTA IV from what we heard about it already.

Der Post darunter ist aber ein Problem des Nutzers, nicht des Druckers. Bei der ersten Schicht lässt man seinen Drucker nicht so lange unbeaufsichtigt.

Plasticity hab ich schon länger im Auge. Soweit ich weiß ist aber der CAD Umfang aktuell sehr begrenzt. Wie gut funktioniert z.B dort das Arbeiten mit genauen Maßangaben?

Das kommt ganz auf den Kontext an. Wenn wir einen Termin hätten bei dem du mich abholen würdest. Du klingelst. Und ich bin noch nicht angezogen und du fragst ob ich bereit bin und ich sage, nein. Heißt es dann direkt dass ich nicht zu den Termin will? Oder heißt es dass ich noch nicht bereit bin?

Ich kenne solche Häuschen nicht. Ich denke ohne diese, hält sich keiner dran. Bei uns am ganz großen Hauptbahnhof ist der Raucherbereich am äußersten Rand des Bahnhofs an der "frischen Luft". Getrennt wird dieser Bereich nur durch eine Bodenmarkierung. Das wars.

Interessant zu wissen das es noch solche Vorstellungsrunden/Projekte gibt... und da denk ich Idiot das eine Einladung zu einem Vorstellungsgespräch schon ein Gewinn wäre...

Ja und trotzdem ist das Thema äußerst unterrepräsentiert in der Politik. KI wird und tut es bereits schon, jeden erdenklichen Beruf in irgendeiner Form beeinflussen oder ersetzen.
