Cleaning Your Prints

Once your print is complete, the next critical step is cleaning. Proper cleaning is crucial to maintaining the quality and detail of your prints. Here’s how you can do it effectively:

• Soak the Object: Use the Phrozen Wash and Cure Kit to soak your printed object in 95% ethanol for 45–60 seconds. This helps remove any uncured resin from the surface. Be careful not to soak for more than 60 seconds to avoid potential damage.
• Clean Hollow Parts: Ensure that all inner parts of hollow objects are thoroughly cleaned to prevent any uncured resin from being left inside.
• Dry the Object: After cleaning, allow the object to dry in a cool, well-ventilated area for at least 30 minutes. If you're in a hurry, you can speed up the process using compressed air.

Taking these steps will help preserve the integrity of your prints and prepare them for the final stage—post-curing.

Post-Curing for Best Results

Post-curing is the final, essential step to ensure your prints are both strong and durable. Here’s how you can do it right:

• Use Phrozen Post-Curing Lamps: For best results, cure your prints under Phrozen post-curing lamps, or any similar lamps with the same wavelength.
• Curing Time: The recommended curing time is 30 minutes, which helps achieve the optimal strength and durability of your printed objects.

This step is vital for ensuring that your prints don’t just look great, but also perform well under stress.

Conclusion

Phrozen RPG Resin offers incredible potential for 3D printing enthusiasts, especially those focused on creating durable and highly detailed miniatures.

By understanding its properties, handling it properly, cleaning your prints effectively, and following the correct post-curing steps, you can achieve outstanding results.

Whether you're working on intricate models or functional parts, Phrozen RPG Resin is designed to meet your needs. So go ahead—unleash your creativity and bring your wildest ideas to life with Phrozen RPG Resin!
