e.max .75 gr per ingot rule - Not for printed wax

[Edward123]

I asked this question in another post along with a related subject but it seems to be getting overlooked. Probably should have done two separate posts to start with. Sorry for the duplicate posting!

Has anyone else observed that the .75 gram per e.max ingot formula does not work well with PRINTED wax due to possibly a different specific gravity / weight? If so, what weight formula weight per ingot for printed wax you are using to compensate for printed vs inlay wax?

I think the .75 gr per ingot use a specific gravity of 1 or 1.1. A lower sg would mean more ingot used and a higher sg would mean less. What is the sg of your milling wax?

I have been using Printed Wax from CAP. Don't know the SG. I would guess it's closer to resin.
