Hello everyone. I’m really thinking about buying a Nobel 1, but I had a few questions. First, is there any possible way to use 3rd party resin? Like can you not pour it in one of their containers etc? Then I was just wondering if you like it more than FDM?
Hi. I’d say with my experience with the Nobel 1.0, it is all worth it with such perfect prints and great durability of the printed objects, although it is quite a hassle during the objects-supports removal. To this, I prefer the Nobel, an SLA printer, than any FDM printer, not to mention the price which has a range close to most FDM printers. Yes, you can use other-manufactured resin than XYZprinting’s, only not to be used in the same resin tank.
hello
you can test different resins but not sure about the results. It is wrong to compare a SLA machine with an FDM
Hi,
Yes it’s possible to poor 3rd party resin in the containers that fit in the Nobel.
Compared to FDM; much higher detail, cleaner prints. But a lot of work cleaning the tank /buildbed etc. after print.
Very happy with the results, but not enough work for this printer… I will sell it when I have the right opportunity.
ok then post a print of nobel if is as you say . As for resins probably you can find but you must test them , to give you an example spot-a resins use in form1 specific settings otherwise they dont work again i will say sla is not fdm different technologies
Thanks for some great answers. I basically build replica props as a hobby, and I hate all the sanding and crap involved with FDM. I know the print size is small, but it isn’t that bad and if I need a bigger part, I can always glue it. I also know formlabs has a really strong resin they recently began selling. I mean I would think since they use the same tech (a laser to cure UV resin), the formlabs resins should work with the Nobel.
Sorry Nobel 1.0 not allowed 3rd party resin.
