MakerJuice WaxCast Resin
Posted: Sat Apr 30, 2016 10:55 pm
The WaxCast resin by MakerJuice is an affordable castable resin. Wax-like in nature it promises great castability.
Pros: The resin is very affordable at $50 per half a liter. Easy to print with and super fast. Very smooth surfaces and high details. Don't need to mix the resin often. Changes color when post cured. Tested (by Makerjuice) casting schedule, that works with Plasticast investment.
Cons: The resin is very brittle, just like wax. Need thicker supports and support tips. It won't stick to the plate easily and need to use larger bases or else the prints may fall off mid-prints. Larger slices may delaminate and shift/slide around a bit (this may be related to not being able to easily attach to the base).
Here are the CW resin profiles we came up with for this resin. Still testing, but these should give you a good place to start.
