Not yet, but in the near future we will have sample bottles.

With the SolusWax it says we need to pre-heat it to 104F before printing? do you just take 40ml and put it on a hotplate before pouring in the vat? What happens if you try printing at room temperature?

We actually only recommend warming up the resin bottle when you pour out of it. Warm it up, shake well, and then pour. The reason for this is that the wax can settle on the bottom of the bottle and just mixing it may not be enough.

When the resin is in the tank already, it just needs to be mixed well with the soft spatula. No warming is necessary for this.

Hi Emil,

You might want to mention this on the product page as it was the first thing that hit my mind about it. Also, what's the thinnest support tips can you use with SolusWax?

I've been using 0.1mm ball-tips on detailed areas, 0.2mm for non-detailed, and 0.3-0.4mm for weight/force support (might be with or without ball tipped and depending on model size).

I'm thinking of placing the bottle infront of the projector for a few minutes while I load the scene file and prepare for printing. Will that do?

We generally don't recommend using smaller than 0.3mm or 0.4mm unless you're supporting fine detail areas.

I store my resin in 1L and/or 500mL round bottles, then I use a Hot Dog Roller which keeps the bottle always rotating and mixing. I use one of these.



This makes sure that nothing settles. It also has a heating feature, which I have off for normal resin, but sounds like is good for wax resins keeping it warm and mixed.

This ring was cast in 14k white from a Solus Wax this morning. I had invested it friday afternoon. I put it in the oven at 8 am this morning andramped it straight up to 1450. Held it for two hours, opened the door till it got down to about 700 and cast it at 11:30 3.5 hour burnout.
I threw it in the tumbler. Absolutely no porosity. Perfect scale, Emil Karapetyan and Solus knocking it out of the park with this resin. I wouldnt normally do a fast cast like this, but then,why not?
I use this model a lot for test casting. One sprue thats all.

nice Len , what investment ? what oven ?

Also , why so long a bench sit time , because of the weekend or where you allowing the investment to dry completely ?? was this intentional ?

I must say the longer I let the flask sit, the better my cast.

you using Optima Len??
