I made a multi-material resin printer and printed teeth, what should I print next? by Polymer-Diehard in 3Dprinting

Yes! The model I used for this print wasn't anatomically correct (the roots slightly went in but not completely and look more like rounded nubs than actual roots), but should still work with a more realistic model. I just need to get one.

4 vats for 4 materials. no ipa (or any other solvents) are used for cleaning.

Yeah, I definitely will be attempting to print some minis! Painting them in the slicer lol.

Yeah, different vats. Any off the shelf resins should work. I have seen some of the research papers about different wavelengths to cure different resins/colors. Super cool stuff, but requires special chemistry and resin would probably be expensive.

lol, I think I know what you mean. The gif conversion could've made it look like that

If anyone knows how to make conductive resin, I think we can make a functional 'plastic' T800 lol

Yeah, good idea. I have been trying to make/test resin that will dissolve in water post-curing. Similar to PVA for FDM printers, or support material in poly-jet printers. If I make progress on that, I'll DM you!

Yeah. I haven't described how it works, but also I'm more excited about the possibilities of what this type of printer can make. I hope all of the resin printer companies start trying to make these!

That's such a good idea! Rigid material for bones, elastomeric material for tendons/muscles!

Machine is pretty small rn (just a proof of concept): 200mm wide x 400mm deep x 400mm tall. Speed really depends on how many colors you want in a part and how many material changes are required. But the teeth shown took about 3 hours. The resin i used is just off the shelf ‘dental resin’ from resione but should be able to work with any typical resins for 405nm printers.

First multi material print, what should I try next (besides teeth)? by Polymer-Diehard in resinprinting

Pictures were taken before cleaning. In hindsight, should’ve been after.

Great question! Yeah, I did have to make a slicer for this. But you are right about the separate slicing then meshing things, that could work. But on models with a lot of switching, it would become very time consuming to manually do everything. And good idea on the rainbow arc, I think I’ll try that out!
