This is what I used to calculate the concentration of uncured resin in my IPA wash container.
Black Silicone Collapsible Funnels
This funnel is needed when pouring reclaimed IPA into a gallon storage container.
1-Quart Clear Plastic Container Lids
There are the accompanying lids for the 1-quart containers.
1-Quart Clear Plastic Containers
These are the perfect sized containers for catching the filtered, reclaimed IPA for the 1-liter wash station containers prior to re-use or storage.
Wood Block Stand
I simply glued 3 of these together to create a stand so that the filtered IPA didn’t splatter while being filtered.
Disposable Paint Strainer
When you have a failed print, or prior to storing your unused resin, it's best to run it through a filter to remove any cured resin. This is also key for filtering and reclaiming IPA from your wash stations.
Paint Strainer Stand
This stand holds the paint strainer and coffee filter combination so that the reclaimed IPA drains into the 1-quart plastic container.
Coffee Filters
These filters are the perfect size to fit into either the disposable (filtering resin) or the reusable plastic (filtering IPA) paint strainers.
Reusable Paint Strainer
This is the ideal filter to hold the coffee filters for filtering/recapturing the 99% isopropyl alcohol (IPA) used for cleaning models
Isopropyl Alcohol 99%, 4 Gallons Packed in 16 Quarts
This is a great option for reorders of IPA. When purchased in gallon containers, additional hazmat shipping charges apply. Once you have 4 gallon-sized containers, it is better to purchase this item because in smaller containers, hazmat shipping is not added. Just refill your gallon containers for reduced storage.
Heavy Duty Spray Bottle
3D printer resin gets everywhere. This bottle makes it easy to spray IPA on various surfaces for easy cleaning.
Nalgene Wash Bottle
This bottle makes it easy to squirt IPA around the build platforms and into the wash containers to top off IPA to the appropriate level.
Kitchen Timer
This is a small compact, magnetic timer that is easily placed for timing the IPA wash procedures. And, its annoyingly loud, so can be heard throughout most offices.
SprintRay Pro IDB Resin
This is the standard resin that I use for 3D printed Digitally-Guided Bonding (DGB) trays.
SprintRay Pro Die & Model Tan Resin
This is the standard resin that I use for aligner and lab models. I have used gray in the past, however, due to the color, it is more difficult to discern between the gray color of the model and the grey TMA wire I use for IDB 3x3s or IDB brackets. Moreover, the depth perception of gray resin is not a good as tan, in my experience.
SprintRay Pro Resin Tank
For each printer, I have 1 resin tank for each resin I use. Personally, I would rather pay for the convenience of quickly switching resin tanks, instead of thoroughly cleaning the tanks to switch between different/incompatible resins. For example, my primary printer use is for generating aligner models. So, I have 1 tank for Die and Model Tan for each printer. I also use the printers for IDB trays. Since, the IDB (and Splint) resin is FDA-cleared for long-term use in the mouth, and general-purpose aligner model resin is not, I do not want to waste time cleaning tanks and switching resins. I’d rather just quickly switch the tanks with different resins already in the tank. So, I also have a separate tank for IDB resin. In addition, I do quite a bit of beta testing. So, I also have a separate tank for testing resins.
SprintRay Pro Build Platform
For each printer, I have 2 build platforms. This allows me to take the completed print platform off, replace it with the 2nd, and start printing again.
Isopropyl Alcohol 99%, 4 Gallons
There are lots of options when buying IPA. This is a good option based on price to get gallon containers. Once you have one order of this, then purchase future orders from the next IPA listed.
IPA Containers – SprintRay Pro
Having both a MoonRayS and SprintRay Pro presents a problem with post-printing washing, since the build plates are completely different sizes. So, two different sized containers must be used for model washing if leaving the models on the build plate, as is my preference - unless the ideal contained can be found to work with both systems. Enter the Lustroware 2.1 qt container from The Container Store. This container has multiple benefits when printing horizontally:
- The SprintRay Build Plate sits perfectly on the front and back rails of the container.
- The MoonRay Build Plate sits perfectly on the side rails of the container.
- Instead of the normal injection molding bump on the inside of the container, this container has one on the outside. So, it is easily removed with the same tools that are used to trim and polish aligners. This also means that the container doesn’t have to be placed off-center on the magnetic stir plate.
- The lid has a rubber gasket integrated into the lid so it’s easier to place and remove than other containers I’ve tried.
- Remove the injection molding bump on the outside of the container so it sits flat on the magnetic stir plate.
- The four flip down locking tabs are a nuisance to open and close in order to seal the container, and are actually unnecessary because the rubber gasket seals the lid adequately. They also get in the way if the containers don’t have a lot of working area around them. So, it is best to cut the tabs off and then polish the cut areas with the same tools that are used to trim and polish aligners.
IPA Containers – MoonRayS
These containers are the best for placing the print platform directly into IPA without having to first remove the models or cutting a hole into the lid. They are actually the perfect size for the lip of the print platform to sit directly on the rim of the container for the MoonRayS printer. Only 750ml of IPA is required per wash container.
Magnetic Stir Plate
This is the perfect addition to your model cleaning station. It will generate a vortex of isopropyl alcohol (IPA) during the washing process. This makes the process much cleaner so that your hands never touch uncured resin.
Warner Painter’s Tool
This is a great tool for separating a 3D printed model from the build platform. It has a perfectly beveled edge to quickly separate most any print from the platform. It is extremely sharp, so should be handled accordingly.
PEC-Pad Lint Free Wipes
This is used to clean the orange or red UV hood of the printer that covers the uncured printer resin.
Novus PC-1 Plastic Clean & Shine
This is used to clean the orange or red UV hood of the printer that covers the uncured printer resin.
Amcrest UltraHD 2K WiFi IP Camera 3MP
This is a great live video camera that has both an app and can be viewed in Google Chrome. I originally used this to view prints remotely to verify print success. Another great use is to view the printer remotely before starting to ensure the print platform in place and ready to print.
Electronic Digital Vernier Caliper
This is a must have for calibrating your 3D printer. Before you start printing with a new resin, you need to calibrate your printer based on the actual print dimensions relative to the expected dimensions.
