3. Work Flow
- Printing
Blu Lava Black PC-like resin is a versatile material that can be used with different types of 3D printers. It is specially designed for MSLA/LCD printers yet, it can also be printed on some of the 405nm SLA and DLP printers if you have access to exposure control.
To achieve optimal results with BluĀ Lava BlackĀ resin, you need to use the appropriate slicer profiles for your printer model and software. You can download the slicer profiles for Chitubox and Lychee slicers from this link: Profiles for DifferentĀ Printers
Please download the test model and view the tutorial: V5 Test model.
Ā
- Clean
Due to Blu Lava Black's higher viscosity, thorough cleaning is crucial:
- After printing, let the part drain thoroughly over the vat for at least 10 minutes.
- Use an ultrasonic cleaner with 90% or higher concentrated Ethanol or IPA (Isopropyl Alcohol) to clean for 10 minutes.
- After cleaning, use compressed air or a hair dryer on a cool setting to thoroughly dry the part.
- Check the dried surface by touch - if it feels sticky, clean and dry again.
Ā
- Post Curing
- Ensure the part is completely clean and dry before post-curing.
- Use a 395-405nm UV light source for curing.
- Cure for approximately 15-20 minutes, rotating the part every 5 minutes for even
- exposure.
- For optimal results, submerge the part in water during curing to increase efficiency.
