@TheBeardieandtheLeo@TheBeardieandtheLeo #1 you just plug it in, program the temperature, add water, add waterworks chemical, turn it on and put parts in. You have to drain it and chance the water/chemicals once the water becomes highly saturated with dissolved support material. What else do you want to know?
The Dimension SST stations is great for laboratory use, and don't get me wrong, the stainless steel is shiny and cool.
If you want a post-processing machine that works in 4 hours instead of the SST stations 8 hour recommended run time, take a look at the CleanStation SRS DT-3. A video of it in action has been posted as a video response to this video.
If you are going to save even more time. how about you not even bother with dissolving stations and just get a Thinglab Zcorp ZPrinter 650 and have a completely finished part right away.
I immediately recognized the parts as being for a RepRap. It is however quite ironic you demonstrated SST using RepRap parts, as all of them have been designed to be printable without the use of support.
Though these might be non-standard parts that do require supports. But they aren't 'true' RepRap parts.
I'm not sure what you are trying to tell me, but anyways. All FDM models use supports required or not. They all have a support base which allows you to remove it from the build tray.
What other methods have you used in the past? Also I am still curious about what you do with the acid that you used for dissolving supports. Can it go down the drain?
Break away supports. I have a video up on my channel about that. What I meant though was that it would be more of a hassle to machine these parts than it would be to print them.
I hope that I am not being a pest, but we are always talking about these at work. What do you have to do to neutralize the acid? Is the material expensive? You obviously know the product/market.
Basically all you need to do is dilute the solution by keeping the water running in the sink when you drain the tank. I guess when that is done the chemical mixture is similar to the ph levels of laundry detergent.
It cost approx. $45 in consumables to print the parts in this video. $5 per cu. inch of model and support material. About $7 worth of support material was wasted. Some parts can use more support material than model material depending on complexity.
i got two questions:
1. how do you operate the water bath?
2. why is it categorized for pets and animals? XD

#2 I have no idea, but I just fixed that!

thank you :), now i have to wait til monday to take out the support lol

There is not such thing as a "Thinglab" 3d printer. It's just a Zcorp.
BTW Stratasys (Dimension) is the leader in 3d printing for a reason...

@TakronRust - The zPrint makes weaker parts.

How do you get rid of the acid that is used to remove the support?
Vermonster19422 3 years ago
seems like a hassle to clean them. What does the wasted material cost you?
Vermonster19422 3 years ago
Not when you think about how difficult it would be to make these parts via other methods!

Yes, but it should be "neutralized".
