catkom3 Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 How quick are resin printers James, My FDM printer works a treat but quick they are not, 'specially if you dial in more detail, Or use flexible TPU, but TPU is ridiculously strong, Regards Joe.

I will get writing as soon as I have something substantial to write about, so far though I can't fault the Elegoo stuff. 3 hours ago, catkom3 said: How quick are resin printers James, My FDM printer works a treat but quick they are not, 'specially if you dial in more detail, Or use flexible TPU, but TPU is ridiculously strong, Regards Joe. I'm not really sure how they compare with FDM printers to be honest Joe. The print in the photo took just over two hours at a 0.05mm layer height (0.01mm is the lowest it will go), the key thing i think with resin printers is the speed is the same whether you fill the build plate or if you have just one thing on. The height is what determines the time taken as unlike an fdm printer the resin cures an entire layer in one go every six seconds where as an fdm has to go along the entire route for every layer.

Very interesting James thank you, I could do a 1/32 truck tyre useing flexible TPU in 54 minutes but TPU has to be extruded pretty slow, 14mms and that is only one tyre, so 6 tyres would be almost 6 hours but they would be good to go no washing or cureing, a bit tidying up but that is inevitable anyway, but not bad at €0.08 each,??

Tractorman810 Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 be interested in how this goes,i assume you will just print your own masters now, to make the resin casts with, rather than sending them away. i keep pondering buying one, but honestly the more i think about it ,i dont think i would use it as much as i should to justify the costs, got several bits i would like to get done ,but when you dont build to sell its not worth it, i just dont have time with work as well 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stabliofarmer Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 Master patterns for resin and rubber parts is my main use for it yes, although some personal builds will probably benefit where ever circles are involved, so some obscure builds can have custom wheels, and flywheels for some traction engines I'd like to make. I will delve into more detail in a topic but cautious of flooding this thread just for now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CX820Joe Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 I got a Britains Claas Xerion a while ago, and decided to get one of these Siku Maize levellers to go with it and make use of the reverse drive. It wouldn't fit on the linkage but after some persuasion with a hacksaw it fits a treat. Need to get a suitably decent cultivation rig for it at some stage as well. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robbo Posted October 15, 2021 Author Share Posted October 15, 2021 The Fordson Super Dexta from Poppema arrived today. The model was detached from the plinth inside the box, it looks as if the screws have pulled through the plastic mount. Thankfully it does not seem to be damaged 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
