How do I clean the IPA I use in my resin printers? A thread:
The first thing is pour the dirty IPA in a bottle with a funnel and put it in the cure chamber for 60 minutes. After that the IPA looks cloudy and white (I only print with clear resin). Image
Then I pour the IPA on a plastic tub and wait around 15 minutes.
In those 15 minutes it goes from this: Image
To this: Image
When I consider it is completely precipitated I carefully (you don't want to disturb the resin in that sits in the bottom) pour it through a funnel with a paper towel onto a Britta filter: Image
This is what's left in the tub after the pouring is almost finished: Image
And this is how it looks after it passes through the filter: Image
And that's how I recycle my IPA I hope it helped.

Making functional parts with 3D printing resin, a thread:
My latest project: was entirely made with Anicubic basic clear resin it gave me great results but many parts broke during the build, most of them while fastening bolts or adjusting parts.
Lots of people were surprised about how far I went with resin printed parts and complained about its brittleness. I just design the parts and handled them accordingly.
