隨著3D列印在過去十年中不斷普及,有些人現在正在積極尋找一種更環保的選擇來滿足自己的愛好。雖然 FDM 3D 列印被認為比樹脂列印更環保,但一些公司宣傳 可水洗的樹脂,因為它更環保。但事實真的是如此嗎?
不,水洗樹脂並不是更環保的 3D 列印解決方案。
儘管有這樣的說法, 可水洗的樹脂仍然是敏化劑。其液體形式接觸皮膚時可能會引起輕微過敏反應,處理不當會對環境產生毒性。
什麼是水洗樹脂?
顧名思義, 水洗樹脂是一種溶於水的3D列印樹脂。傳統 3D 列印樹脂需要異丙醇 (IPA) 或 Phrozen Wash 等清潔溶液,而可水洗的樹脂只需使用自來水即可。
儘管它並不比傳統樹脂更環保,但對許多人來說, 水洗樹脂可以簡化後處理設置,並且是節省成本的選擇,因為他們不需要購買其他清潔解決方案。
但現在您可能想知道,它比傳統樹脂好嗎?這個問題的答案很大程度上取決於您的最終結果。您要列印什麼,以及您打算如何使用它。
如果您有興趣了解更多關於為您的 3D 列印專案選擇合適樹脂的信息,您必須查看我們的詳細部落格: 如何選擇合適的 3D 列印樹脂:您需要的唯一指南
現在,讓我們更深入地了解我們的水洗樹脂的優點和缺點。
水洗樹脂的優點:
- 易於清潔:水洗樹脂最顯著的好處之一當然是更容易清潔,而且只需用水即可。
- 節省成本:節省異丙醇或其他清潔溶液的成本。
- 氣味較小:與傳統樹脂相比,水洗樹脂的氣味較小。
水洗樹脂的缺點:
- 水溶性:儘管它很專業,因為它很容易清潔,但在清潔時您需要小心,不要意外洗掉列印模型的細節。
- 更脆:儘管觀點各異,但有些人聲稱用可水洗樹脂列印的模型往往比傳統樹脂稍微更脆。因此,根據您的需求,它可能不是您想要的。
您可以使用水洗樹脂列印什麼?
那麼,水洗樹脂可以列印什麼呢?嗯,差不多,什麼都可以。
這種 可水洗的樹脂適用於各種 3D 列印用途,包括微型列印、雕像和模型零件。它可能無法提供像 Aqua 8K 樹脂那樣的最高分辨率,也無法提供功能性樹脂的獨特優勢。儘管如此,它絕對是一款多功能產品,可滿足您大部分的 3D 列印需求。
Phrozen 為我們的 水洗樹脂系列提供兩種顏色:模型灰色和快速黑色。兩者均採用美麗的顏色配製,可展示列印模型的細節,並且只需用水即可輕鬆清潔。您可以在我們的部落格中找到使用可水洗樹脂列印內容的靈感。
清洗後固化水洗樹脂?
如前所述,清潔就像用水沖洗一樣簡單。使用清洗站或超音波清洗機等洗衣機可以幫助您一次清潔一批印刷的模型,而如果您每次只打印幾個模型,請將它們手動浸入水中(戴上手套!),偶爾使用刷子因為角落和縫隙都可以很好地工作。
您可以參考下面的視頻,了解如何清潔樹脂列印模型:
後固化是 3D 列印的重要步驟,在使用可水洗樹脂進行列印時也是如此。為避免出現裂紋,請記住在將模型放入固化站之前徹底乾燥。您可以使用壓縮空氣槍或將其放在一邊風乾。
水洗堅韌樹脂:更堅韌的選擇
如果您擔心典型的水洗樹脂的脆性,您會很高興了解我們的新型水洗堅韌樹脂。這種新配方的韌性是市場上大多數其他樹脂的兩倍,從而解決了水洗樹脂的主要弱點。
Water-Wwashable Tough 非常適合需要能夠承受更大壓力(包括搬運和後處理)且不易破裂的耐用模型的人。它具有一定的柔韌性,可確保您的列印件更加耐用,尤其是在從列印平台板上移除時。
使用可水洗的堅韌樹脂可以列印什麼?
Water Washable Tough 可確保模型耐用,減少後處理麻煩。
與標準的水洗樹脂一樣,Water-Washable Tough 用途廣泛,可用於各種 3D 列印應用,包括微型模型、雕像和模型零件。然而,這種樹脂的韌性提高,使其特別適合需要額外耐用性和操控強度的模型。
無論您是要創建詳細模型還是功能部件,Water-Wwashable Tough 都能確保您的列印件能夠經受嚴酷的後處理和日常使用。
如何對可水洗的堅韌樹脂進行後處理
水洗堅韌模型完成後,首先小心地將其從列印托盤上取下。與傳統的水洗樹脂不同,這種更堅韌的配方確保了更高的耐用性,使去除過程更容易,並且不易發生意外破損。
可水洗 Tough 所需的酒精含量減少 90%。
要清潔模型,請將其放入裝有水或 95% 乙醇的清洗站中約 45-60 秒。這將有助於去除表面上任何未固化的樹脂。請小心,不要將模型留在溶劑中超過 60 秒,因為長時間暴露可能會影響表面細節。為了獲得最佳效果,建議在水清洗後用乙醇進行最終沖洗。
清洗後,乾燥並固化您的 Water Washable Tough 3D 模型。
確保徹底清潔所有零件,尤其是模型內部的任何空心區域。清潔後,讓模型在陰涼、通風良好的空間中乾燥至少 30 分鐘,或使用壓縮空氣槍加快乾燥速度。
最後一步是固化。對於水洗 Tough 樹脂,使用 Phrozen 固化燈(例如Wash & Cure Kit或Cure Mega S )可確保最佳效果。將模型固化約 30 分鐘,以達到充分的強度和耐用性。完全固化後,您的模型即可投入使用,並顯示出增強的韌性和靈活性。
最後,直接在列印平台板上列印時,請小心移除物體,以免變形。請記住,負責任地處理廢水,在處理前讓任何樹脂顆粒完全固化。切勿將未固化的被樹脂污染的水直接倒入下水道。
水洗樹脂:提示和技巧
對使用 可水洗樹脂進行印刷有興趣?確保您注意以下幾件事:
請記住,安全第一!
儘管樹脂是可水洗的,但佩戴適當的安全設備仍然至關重要。手套是必須的,如果您長時間使用樹脂,請考慮配戴呼吸器。切勿徒手接觸樹脂,接觸後立即以大量水清洗。
負責任的處置
用水清潔和沖洗列印模型後,切勿立即將水倒入下水道。剩餘的水含有未固化的樹脂顆粒,對環境有害。
請成為負責任的藝術家和創作者,並遵循當地有關處置可能有毒材料的準則。
如果沒有任何具體規則,您可以簡單地將剩餘的水在日光下暴露幾天,直到樹脂顆粒與水分離並完全固化。然後過濾掉樹脂顆粒,將其作為一般垃圾處理。您可以繼續使用這些水來清潔下一批可水洗樹脂,或只是將其放在陽光下直至其完全蒸發。
既然您已經了解了 水洗樹脂的正確知識,您就可以成為負責任的 3D 列印愛好者,而不必擔心自己的健康和環境受到威脅。對 水洗樹脂還有疑問嗎?問走吧!
此外,如果您住在美國,您也可以在美國亞馬遜上購買水洗樹脂!

Will there be more colors, besides Black, in the Rapid line? I have tremendously more success printing with Rapid Black than Model Gray, but find the black difficult to see the details of the print.

Hi, can I print a container that will hold water? Or will the water dissolve the cured container ?
———
Phrozen Technology replied:
Hello Kevin, Thank you for commenting.
Cured resin will not dissolve in the water, but resin is vulnerable to the moisture which will make it degrade faster than keep it in a dry, cool condition. Also the resin products we have as of the time we’ are replying to this comment, doesn’t have biocompatible certification. If you are considering making aquarium accessories, you should use the material with biocompatibilities, and follow the instruction of the of storage condition and their using scenario.
Hope this helps.

Hello Ella, Thank you for commenting.
The photopolymer resin should not be an edible material. If you accidentally swallowed some of it, please consult with your family doctor for medical suggestions.
Wish you good health, Phrozen Team
