Making some infinity stones for a gauntlet, this is the perfect video! About to try it, I'll update if I think of it.

And that answered my curiosity about powder pigment / mica powder in resin 3D printing.. thank you very much.. 😁👍

It blows my mind that this video only has 1.9k views, it should be 1.9M at least!

This is exactly what I was looking for and a fantastic tutorial!! You've saved me so much time and effort 😊

Oh wow! Love it... thanks 🙏🏻

Wonderful video! Thank you for your awesome research.

Very cool! Thanks for posting.

wonderful video thank you so much

Great video! The breakdown you provided was incredibly helpful. We have a couple of FormLabs Form3 printers and after some experimentation, we decided to opt for the after-care painting method. Although we were tempted to add the IPA ink to the print trays directly, we didn't want to use a new clear tray for every new color. Keep up the good work!

Preeetyy schmick! Would look great with some gentle under lighting as a mantle piece.

Thank you!

Amazing, well spoken, to the point magic! I hope the alcohol inks I ordered are as potent as those were. I read somewhere that someone used pigment powder (pretty sure it was glow in the dark) and the substance sunk to the bottom and the end result was a damaged FEP. I have a number of metallic powders and I hope I have the success you did!

I am building a dice tray with a large 24v wireless induction coil module embedded in the bottom, and plan on making resin dice with wireless LEDs inside them, and this has me wanting to try making the dice with my 3d printer, with a small tube cut out for the led to go into, which I can then fill up with resin from the tank and re cure to ensure the lights are dead center. SICK. I planned on using a medium grit sandpaper to give them a frosted effect to diffuse the light and make it so the LED isn't as obvious, but this might be even cooler.

Thank you Magician!

I have also experimented with mixing alcohol inks into the resin with glossy resin pigment powder (not pearl-ex brand)... I am however using water-washable resin (due to ventilation/washing convenience) the results are great but I find the powder starts to settle to the bottom of the resin vat during printing quite quickly and I end up with a sparkly bottom (printed first) and more plain resin on the top... this is probably due to the lower viscosity of the water based resin. This, however, incidentally worked well on some models (unplanned victory) where it enhanced the overall look and effect, but on others it ruined it a bit... one model I actually inverted the original print orientation to make the glitter settle where I wanted it.... if the glitter settles too much tho the print will be weakened in those layers..... just my 2 cents worth!

Would have been nice to compare the resin alcohol mix withOUT the pearlx for a 'true' comparison. (wondering how much of the 'cloudiness' is due to the pearlx). Also, would be interested to know if you don't mix the dye in completely (leaving swirls and streaks) how that effect might come out. Also, with the above swirling using a couple of different colors to get multi-colored streaks or areas. Perhaps like a Yellow + Orange + Red to create a 'Fire' effect? I would be interested in another video if you did the above techniques to see how they turn out. - thanks

I am actually thinking of printing the Apollo and Daphine model you show in a large scale using white alcohol ink and black specs

How good is that puzzle!?

Been wondering if this would be effective myself. I was looking to maybe reproduce Dazus Christmas icicle in a fashion similar to a set of glass ornaments my grand parents had. They where clear with a slight blue coloring that could be seen when held up to the light.

i want to print some sunglasses for a figure, can i actually see through it if i taint it a lil bit dark?

Could any of these methods work on things that already factory Translucent Black? Let say I wanted to color over it to give it that translucent look? Please help !

Have you tried to paint the alcohol ink on not from IPA/Acetone but from water? The ink is poorly soluble in water, but it does disperse well in it

Thanks for the great video man! A question: @ 4:10 you are saying that you add 10 drops of alcohol ink + half a tea spoon of pearl-Ex powder. Ok but to how much of resin do you add these? 50ml? 100ml?

So if I do the 2nd method then I don't have to use primer or anything right? Just print, brush on the alcohol ink, let it dry, cure, then clear coat gloss?

Why choose alcohol ink vs translucent acrylic ink for clear resin?

I’m thinking of trying to make a fire elemental fox using one of these techniques. which do you think would work best? I’m thinking of dying it using yellow and red to get a gradient what do you think. I’m just getting started with 3d printing.

For smoky black siraya tech what do you recommend for bottom exposure and normal exposure settings?

Wouldn`t the dying after curing look very similar to the dye before curing if it also had a gloss coat?

i treid to do the pearlex and ink thing but the pearlex powder all fell to the bottom and didn't really come out. i might not have used enough but i'm not sure. in the only other video i could find the guy had a printer that actually moved the vat instead of raising the plate.

Do the colors fade?

Does the ink not have a sticky residue and rub off the print? I just tried this and have both issues

where do you get your dye from?

The pearl x powder takes away the transparency, It would of been nice to compare transparency with the others with just the ink in the resin tank. as now we don't know how transparent the finish will be. what would of been best is do 1 print with just ink in the tank, then one with pearl x to compare the finish.

hi, i think you are FBI too mb...thanks for the info
