Printing Process + Warnings

My prints are made from water washable Photopolymer Resin, mostly due to it's easier to wash off with just any normal water than using alcohol.

The print process itself usually takes about two hours, this just depends on how tall the item is, so smaller items take less time and taller take longer.
Printing is done under a light cover to block out any stray light source.
After this, and after any remaining resin is allowed to run off the build plate, the prints are given an initial wash for thirty minutes in a tank with a propeller at the bottom to agitate the water.
After this the prints are given another wash under flowing water to wash off any remaining fluid resin prior to the curing process.

The models are now freed from their support struts at this point, which unfortunately at this point isn't recyclable, though looking into how to reuse them!

Once free and given one more wash, the models are checked over for any issues, if anything I note them down so can fix later on and reprint, if all good they are placed inside the curing machine, which blasts them from three sides with UV lights on a rotating turntable.

After at least fifteen minutes, the models are turned around and given another blast under the UV lights for around twenty minutes.
Total time under the UV lamps is at least thirty minutes or so.

And lastly, the models are left to sit, upright and to the side somewhere to allow any minor warping to right itself, once a day has passed, pictures will be sent to the customer, upon approval then they are packed up securely and safely to be sent off the next day!

Material Warnings

One last thing to add, the material, regardless of thickness, is brittle, there is some amount of flex in it but please always do handle it with care and not apply too much force to it.
Also while it's not required, you can wash the models at home if you wish, however please do NOT use washing up liquid at all, as it will effect the material and cause it to deform, it is possible to correct this however it can be tricky, please just use clear cool water to wash the material.

Also, please do avoid any other strong chemicals, while I've not done an extensive test on them, it's best to not attempt using them (unless you want to help me test them all that is!), this includes chemicals like nail varnish remover, acetone, paint stripper etc which are commonly used chemicals used in modelling, they will effect the material adversely.
