Helpful Guidelines for using Duplicator 7 with 3DM Water Washable Resin

There are times when 3D printing gets frustrating and one of the reason is caused by the resin profile for the printer you are using.

On this post, guidelines for using Duplicator 7 with 3DMaterials water washable resins will be shared.

 

1. 3DM White(DW-06)

This Triceratops is from Thingiverse(Search Triceratops) and took approximately 14 hours to print. The layer thickness was set to 0.035mm(35um). 6,000ms(6 seconds) for the layer exposure and 46,000ms(46 seconds) for the bottom exposure with total of 5 bottom layers.

If you want the object to be smoothly printed, 3DM White may be the best choice.

2. 3DM Clear(DC-05)

3D printed Zeratul from Starcraft(search zeratul at myminifactory)! This was actually printed at 50um, 8seconds. But if you prefer more thin layers try 30um at 4seconds.


Layer Thickness : 0.030mm

Exposure Time : 4,000ms

Bottom Exposure : 50,000ms(45,000-50,000ms)

Bottom Layers : 5

If you need light to complete your 3d printed model, 3DM Clear will be needed.

3. 3DM Gray(DG-10)

If your planning to use materials such as red putties and primers because the after process is so important and you need the surfaces perfect as can be, using 3DM Gray is the best way for searching flaws before any after process. Also, the best way to save your time!

Layer Thickness : 0.035mm

Exposure Time : 6,500ms

Bottom Exposure : 46,000ms(45,000-46,000ms)

Bottom Layers : 5

4. 3DM Amber(DA-03), Design credits to MJ Kim, MJ Miniatures(https://www.facebook.com/mjminiatures)

And last but not least, 3DM Amber, the unique resin with beautiful color. There are more to this resin besides being beautiful to the eye- the faster curing speed. In other words, faster printing.

If you need high quality of details and faster speed, 3DM Amber will definately help.

0.030mm for the layer thickness, 3,800ms for the exposure time. Bottom Exposure 45,000ms with 5 layers.

Before ending this post, I want to remind you that this is only a 'guideline' to help prevent failing your print. Customize your settings exact or similar by increasing or decreasing the numbers given above for greater quality.

Hope this helps! Enjoy your print!
