B9 Yellow Castable Resin Testing
Posted: Tue Dec 29, 2015 11:56 pm
I got some b9 yellow resin from a generous Solus owner (thanks Jack) and today began testing it. I will post my results in this thread along with some photos. If it's successful, we will release a resin profile that can be loaded into CW.
Findings so far:
1. It's a very sticky resin. Clings to the film. This explains why some people had issues with thin supports and details breaking off. I think I have found a way around it.
2. It offers very high resolution, which is great. Very sharp corners.
3. It's easy to clean. Just rinse in alcohol and then into ultrasonic for a few min.
I will edit this post and add more info as I go. Please be patient and don't ask for settings before I'm done testing.

Here are the first prints I did with the b9 yellow resin. To get the profile, click here --> viewtopic.php?f=13&t=128
Yellow resin casted. Tumbled only. No polishing. The results are not bad considering the caster is not used to casting this resin. Plasticast investment was used with the regular 12 hour burnout.
