I am impressed with the results for not having used Siraya Techs post printing process. I would be interested to see the results if you jump through their hoops. Printing at 30C resin temps Slow retraction speeds Curing Vegtable oil bath to remove any air from the resin I wonder how much of an improvement would be had with that process. Great vid BTW.

At the time of this video their post processing hoops weren't available. We have been using it since then however and an oxygen barrier is a must with this material to get the best casting results.

Good evening. The surfaces to which the connectors are attached. After printing, they turn out to be thicker than it was modeled in the exocad. For example, the wall should be 1 mm thick and 2 mm comes out of the print. The remaining walls without connectors are normal. What could it be? What settings to tweak?

Hi, I am using siraya castable true blue and I have trouble connecting the resin print to the classic mold that you are using it is also blue wax, one is very soft and melts with a soldering iron, while one is much harder, I could not melt it with a soldering iron, so they somehow do not connect to each other. How do ı solve this is this the purple resin do the job?

@ClearMindJewellery Жыл бұрын

We already answered this 2 days ago when you posted it under a KZfaq short of ours. See same answer: “The idea with spruing 3d prints is not to melt the 3d print (as it won't melt) but to add wax to the print as a "second skin" and then attach the waxed area to the wax spru. If you are having a heard time with that you can find "sticky waxes" that have more of an adherence to the prints. You can also do more mechanical techniques like printing your spru in place on your item and then making a small whole in your central spru to stick the feeder sprus into and then smoothing around it.”

9:30 you said the fine part's best spot is "right on the very top", and that it "degraded as it got further up". should it be closest to the hole or furthest from the hole?

@ClearMindJewellery Жыл бұрын

You want the hottest metal to hit the smallest parts first, so you want them at the top of the tree while you are spruing, the farthest away from where you pour in the metal. As the metal will hit the top and back up and fill until it creates the button.

@esurfrider7687 2 жыл бұрын

Ok, say you don’t have a vacu-cast machine, I’m aware of centrifugal casting as an option also, but I wonder if can you just use gravity to cast? Similar to how you would vent a sand cast piece where you pour in one hole until the metal comes out the vent hole, couldn’t you sprue up an investment with a well for the metal and a vent hole and then after the burn out, I’m thinking I could put the investment mold into a silver furnace, place the metal into the well and just let the metal come up to melt temp and it should just fill the void. Would this work? I feel like it seems simple enough but how come nobody is doing it, maybe it would have issues? I’d really like to know your thoughts..

@ClearMindJewellery 2 жыл бұрын

Simply using gravity is a tried and true method of casting but it doesn't work well for metals that can't stay fluid for long periods of time. The thing that you're describing is actually exactly how it works for Glass Casting, but in metal terms the closest would be Steam Casting. Where you burnout the flask as per a normal lost wax process, but melt the metal directly on top of the flask while hot, then use a cup or something similar to push the metal down with air pressure.

Would 1-1.5% boric acid in the investment help wit the minor collapses?

@ClearMindJewellery Жыл бұрын

It depends on what you mean by a collapse. If people are having a hard time casting resin prints with embossed text for example, and are getting filled in areas and collapsed areas around the lettering, we would definitely recommend boric acid. But note that a power washer is recommended as it will harden the investment drastically and make it difficult to devest. If you are using siraya purple and have yet to do your post cure in glycerin I would do that first before experimenting with boric acid.

Hello, does this resin contain wax? and what percentage? thanks.

@ClearMindJewellery Жыл бұрын

It is stated to have some "wax-like" compound although True-Blue in our opinion seems to have more. Siraya does not seem to advertise with percentages as other brands do. Its a bit of a misnomer that resins have wax. Which is why we always try to say wax-like instead.
