Plant-based resins and their advantages

图片
  What is Plant-Based Resin and What Are Its Advantages? Plant-based resins are a new type of material used in 3D printing filaments and liquid resins. These resins are derived from plants rather than petroleum. Using plant-based resins offers several benefits: Sustainable Materials Unlike petroleum-based plastics, plant-based resins utilize renewable crops as the raw material. This makes them a more sustainable option since crops can be regrown rather than relying on finite fossil fuel resources. Plants like corn, sugarcane, and soy beans are common sources for bio-based resins. Lower Carbon Footprint Plant-based resins have a lower carbon footprint compared to traditional resins. The plants absorb CO2 as they grow, offsetting some of the emissions generated during manufacturing. Studies have found that bioplastics emit 25-50% less greenhouse gases compared to oil-based plastics. Biodegradable Many plant-based resin formulas are biodegradable. They can break down through natural p

Why 3d print layer shift?

You print a big model and after waiting for long hours suddenly the hotend moving into wrong direction while still maintaining its layer shape. Well - what happened here? All the 3D printing jobs have to start at the beginning again. Waste of time - Waste of 3D Filament . There are some possibilities for what causing this Problem:   1.  File on SDCard or USB Problem Printing Files where Gcode resides is part of the process. GCode actually contains text commands that are read by the process line by line (also determine layer-by-layer positioning) . So any disruption or a wrongly read of this text can cause Layer Shifting or a worse scenario which is er-radical movement. So when you copy and transfer the Gcode file(s), make sure it is copied and ejected properly for your PC/Mac. Note: Some Printers use WIFI/Network capability for this Copy Transfer file(s). Bad Network Communication also can cause this error.   2.  Over Extrusion Flow Imagine that your printing is too much material depos

3D Printer Resins: Types and Properties

3D printer resins are the materials used in liquid resin stereolithography (SLA) 3D printers or LCD/DLP 3d printers. There are several different types of resin available, each with its own properties and applications. The main types of 3D printer resin include: Standard Resin : This is a general purpose resin used for prototyping. It has good strength, impact resistance and detail resolution. Standard resin works well for concept models, functional prototypes and some end-use parts. Tough Resin : This resin has enhanced flexibility and impact resistance. It's a good option for parts that need to flex or bend without breaking. Tough resin works well for hinges, handles and other movable components. Clear Resin : This transparent resin allows the internal features of a 3D printed part to be visible. Clear resin has applications in lighting fixtures, lenses, displays and parts with decorative fill patterns. Castable Resin : This resin is specially formulated for creating molds and ca
