SLA 101 - Resin Welding (Repost of older video)
Channel: Practical Printing
Date: 2019-09-17

In this first episode of SLA 101, I show you how to use resin and a UV source to weld your parts together. When done properly, this creates a bond as strong as the individual layers of the print.

Note, that contrary to what I do in the video, I should have been gloved up for this process. I was not expecting any contact with the resin (boy was I wrong…) and opted not to, but I should not have take the risk.

When dealing with resins, please always read and adhere to the manufacturers safe handling and processing procedures. This should be found in the resin’s MSDS/SDS forms, which they are LEGALLY obligated to provide to you. If a manufacturer does not make this available online, ask them for it- if they still cannot provide, move on to a different resin.

Note: This is a re-post of my earlier tutorial on SLA Resin Welding as somehow the video disappeared from the YT library.
