According to the guideline, the printed parts should be cleaned in two batches of 95%+ ethanol or IPA for 3-5 minutes and 5 minutes, respectively. Cast is an affordable castable resin designed for lost wax method. Below is the recommended print setting, cleaning, curing and burn out recommendation.

After 4 minutes of cleaning action, remove alcohol with a hair dryer or air blower. For complex part with lots cavities, it may be a good idea to clean/dry multiple times. Resin is inherently a brittle material. Moreover, it never truly stops curing, and even after printing, long exposures to IPA and UV light will increase its brittleness and result in weak resin prints that snap easily. Siraya Tech Fast ABS-Like Resin is a tough (or ABS-like resin) that prioritizes durability. Though not specifically designed for minis, the resin performs more than admirably when boosting models’ shelf-life. Due to higher polymer content for its outstanding mechanical properties, the ideal printing condition for Blu is over 25C.Make sure the support tip diameter is 1.2mm for larger prints with a depth of 0.5mm.

Make sure the resin is completely cleaned off and there is no alcohol left (it needs to be dry) on the print before curing. Blu can also be used to make fixtures and jigs that help in positioning or assembling components, such as molds, templates, gauges, and calipers.Among the most prized resins for miniatures we have standard resin. This is your affordable, general-purpose resin designed to render parts with excellent levels of detail, but it tends to be brittle and prone to breaking under stress. Flexible Resin
