Hi Ron,
Hope you are well. It has been many years since I have trialled a new resin. I am perfectly used to B9 Cherry now. B9 in their eternal wisdom have shut down the only seller that I know of that sold their B9 resin in Australia. That means that after many years they get no more of my money and I have had to look for a new resin.
Before I totally run out of B9 resin......I purchased the Solus Wax Pro direct from Taiwan as the Australian Solus agent is not carrying it yet and he suggested I do so. I like to support local suppliers if I can. Took a week to get to me so not much slower than domestic post.
First print on an about 3 year old 2nd gen Solus, still with the original bulb, worked perfectly at the default settings. Used .3/.4 normal contact point supports.
Well done Reify....compared to my memories of trouble shooting the Asiga and many other resins on their printers all those years ago.....this was a miracle to me. My first comments on the prints:
- With the B9 Cherry my print time for this build would have been 2 hour 20min, the Solus Wax Pro was 3 hours. Longer print times never bother me as I have other tings to do but thought I would mention.
-The prints are very firm straight out of the printer.
- Detail is easier to spot with the B9 Cherry but that might just be because I am used to it after all these years.
I am going to try and cast soon using Satin Cast as my preferred investment Omega+ was not available at the moment.....like a lot of other things. Fingers crossed but all good so far.
cheers,
Sochin
