Optimizing Resin Printing in Colder Temperatures

As 3D printing enthusiasts continue to explore the boundaries of resin printing, adapting to environmental conditions becomes crucial for achieving optimal results. In this article, we will delve into the specifics of resin printing using a unique mixture: a 60/40 blend of Phrozen's  Aqua 8K Gray and Onyx Impact Plus. Our focus will be on adjusting the printing settings for optimal performance in rooms with temperatures below 10 degrees Celsius. ▲ Luther's Print Using the "Cold Setting". / Luther Caudle Understanding the Resin Mixture:      The combination of Phrozen's Aqua 8K Gray and Onyx Impact Plus creates a resin blend that offers a balance of properties, including excellent detail resolution and enhanced impact resistance. However, like any resin, its behaviour can be influenced by environmental factors, particularly temperature. Challenges in Colder Temperatures:      Lower room temperatures...

Experimenting on Aqua 8K Gray + Onyx Impact Plus Mix

One of the biggest trend in Phrozen community this year is Aqua 8K Gray + Onyx Impact Plus resin mixture. Since people found out that mix a bit of Impact Plus into the community favoured Aqua 8K resin, can provide the model with exceptionally great durability while maintain the detail achieved by the Aqua 8K, it has become many people's go-to resin mixture for printing tabletop miniatures.      Brian Gordon in Phrozen 3D Printer Group on Facebook opened up a thread talking about his experiment with 60% Aqua 8K Gray + 40% Onyx Impact Plus mix, and having one of the user, Luther, who is known for advocating this ratio of resin mixture joined the discussion, sharing their settings with other members in the community. ▲ The result from Brian's setting that uses calculation of exposure time applied by the ratio as a starting point which works right away for him.      Brian explains that he calculates the exposure time using the average exposure time of each resi...

[Aqua 8K] [Mighty 12K] Brian's Printing Setting for 12K Upgrade Kit with ACF Film

Brian Gordon recently purchased the 12K Upgrade Kit for his Sonic Mighty 8K Printer and did a series of tests and calibrations to see how well the new 12K LCD will holds up compared to the original 8K LCD.     To be able to see the true performance of the 12K LCD, Brian had to first dial in the Aqua Gray 8K resin that he choose, with the ACF film comes with the Upgrade Kit.  And the final he got is a successful print of Cones of Calibration and a good result of 3DRS Starship Calibration test.     He also gave a full review for his 12K Upgrade Kit in the Phrozen 3D Printer Group on Facebook, which you can read it here:  https://www.facebook.com/groups/Phrozen3DPENG/posts/2497617153736770/     Here is his result and settings. For those who are interested, should give it a try to see if his settings works with your printer. ▲ Success print of Cone of Calibration by Brian. ▲ Success print of 3DRS Starship Calibration test by Brian. ▲ Brian's prin...
