Long story short, I am wondering if anyone here has any experience with clear resin? I'm looking for an alternative method to print the clear nozzle (which is hand-molded) in the photo below, and the Solus is high on my list at the moment though I'm not sure if it can do clear.

Wall thickness of the thinnest part is 0.2mm. ID is 4.8mm.

The acrylic doesn't have to be that clear as I'm lacquering them later anyway.

Thanks in advance.

Any kind soul?

I don't know of any castable resins that are THAT clear. Check the photos of the B9 Yellow resin. They're pretty transparent but the resin is yellowish. MakerJuice also makes resins (not castable) that you can get unpigmented so you can choose the color yourself. For what you're looking for that leaves you with getting the white color but idk how translucent it'll be. As for measurements, I have no doubt the Solus can print that. Check out some super-fine prints from current Solus owners, just amazing stuff. Just a note, the resin and the pigment % plays a huge role in the sharpness of the detail. You're the first to wonder into the "transparent" resin area so you'll have the privilege to do the research!

formlabs has a transparent resin. I haven't tried it myself.
