RE: The Myconid Barbarians are coming #2
Yea the messy part is the one that stopped me so far from buying one and size is something that matters to me as I mostly build parts for my robots.
How is the part strength of the resign prints?
That depends very much on the resin. if you print say solid pla. it is probably more or less the same, but as with fdm printing there is a ton of different resins to choose from.
I have not done alot of experimenting with strength but since I cast my prints in metal I have made vulcanized rubber molds (for casting wax in preparation for metalcasting) these rubber mold are put under both temperature(app 100 degrees celsius) and pressure (handcranked so i dont have measurements) for half an hour or so. afterwards the rubber mold is cut open and in that process i dont go gentle on the print. Even so, they often come out undamaged. That said small parts like the sword on this figure are prone to breaking if handled roughly.One company , funtodo resin, sell a resin called industrial blend which supposedly should be even more durable, but for what I do, ordinary resin is fine.
