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...

One of our community members from Taiwanese group Shang-Feng Chiang posts his result of printed out a water bear (tardigrade) model with 0.03mm layer height using his Phrozen Sonic Mighty 8K, which comes out as a great result.      The 0.03mm setting combine with the 8K resolution of his Mighty 8K, preserves the detail of the textures on the model's surfaces. This 10cm models took him 12 hours to print, due to his rather  conservative plate moving setting.     The resin he's using is from a local workshop here in Taiwan, which is not available around the globe. According to Chiang, this resin has similar characteristic compared to the Phrozen Aqua Gray 8K resin, but more watery which explained the higher exposure time.     I would recommend people who would like to try this 0.03mm layer height setting with Phrozen Aqua 8K series resin, to simply replace the exposure time for both normal layers and bottom layers with the exposure time that has been...

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...

 Steven Palk has shared his print of a sculpture of Iceman with the community of Phrozen Sonic Mighty Seris Users Group on Facebook, using High Transparent Resin from NOVA3D with Phrozen Sonic Mighty 8K upgraded with the 12K Upgrade Kit and ACF film, which comes out with an outstanding result.     Here is his result and settings. For those who is trying to print High Transparent Resin from NOVA3D with 12K upgraded Sonic Mighty should give it a try. ▲ Steven's Iceman sculpture printing result.

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...

Sean Brzozowski is working on a resin kit of the Merkava III Israel battle tank at a scale of 1/48. He's discovered that using his Phrozen Sonic Mini 8K printer with Aqua Red Clay 8K resin is the way to go for crafting the "ball and chain" armour, and will later attaching it to the back of its turret.     Surprisingly, the settings he is using for printing this tiny object does not requires particularly slow moving speed of the plate, and he also does not hesitate to have the supports thicker and bulker than the object that his is printing. "N o magic, just good tools and patience" he said.      Here is his result and settings. For those who is trying to print Phrozen's Aqua Red Clay 8K with Sonic Mini 8K should give it a try. ▲ The printed out 1/48 "ball and chain" armour.

Getting your resin settings right is crucial to achieving a successful print. This is particularly important for those who are aiming for the utmost detail and precision. However, it's often the case that companies only provide resin profiles for their own products—or sometimes they don't provide them at all.      For newcomers to the scene, it can be quite frustrating to spend the majority of their time fine-tuning settings. Moreover, what works perfectly on one printer might not produce the same results on another. This discrepancy arises from the variations inherent to different devices, which shows the necessity to tailor resin settings accordingly.      With that in mind, let's delve into the experience shared by Derek Jackson from J3DTech, also a Phrozen community member. He gives us some insight into the process of refining resin settings. Here's my take on the information: To dial in a resin, there are two ...
