3rd party model resin form2?

[RCKSTR]

Has anyone tried a 3rd party model resin for the form2 printer? Our supplier has run out of stock, we have been waiting on a back order for 3 weeks and we are now out of resin. Their estimated ship date is the second week of Jan. Any suggestions?

do you know the wavelength and cure time? why can you not search resin by this parameter ?

 

[RCKSTR]

Where would you suggest looking for resins? Thats the question here, I can match up a fluid if I know where to look

Tried it but it does not work. It will also spoil the tray

"Our Supplier"...you mean Forms2 ran out of model resin?

They’ve prolly restocked by now, it’s an old thread that a newb dug up.

Dental 3Dresyn OD-Clear . Just didn't work. Dumped the remaining resin. It is quite economical to use the Forms 2 resin. A liter will last you a while

and you used the Fine Tune accelerant?

It has been a while .I don't think I used the accelerant

there are two kinds, made for different printers, but both would help to work in a formlabs printer. formlabs employs 405nm wavelength laser so if your print was like undercured or squishy, additive to the fluid would help by reducing the density of the particulate to allow light in and cure better.

the 1st print came out good.The 2nd and successive ones would come out 1/2 done. The cured part is strong. Only 1/2 the object would be printed. there would be a layer of cured resin stuck to the tray and when you try to peal it off the silicone layer comes off with it
