Heya,

What are some of the details of the project? Whats the use case? Once I get that I can point you in the right direction.

Hello Marius,

Thanks for your quick reply.

Could you please advise on what basematerial should be used for transparant resin (see needed.jpg)?

Thanks in advance.

Best regards,

Marcel.

Hi,

the only printers, that can print with resin are SLA based. If you dont want to get your part made by one of these i’d recommend using T-Glase. T-Glase is PET made for FDM based 3D printers (like mine), it is very durable (were you ever able to break a PET bottle?) and depending on the thickness of the part it is very stiff, it does nearly not contract when cooling down so it’s more accurate then many other materials for 3d printing. Optical clearness is archivable with this material however it has to be printed very slow and with thick layers, meaning that it has a wavy surface instead of a smooth one.

Colorfabb’s XT would work aswell since both of these materials belong to the chemical group of Polyesters and have similar properties. I found T-Glase to be more translucent, XT on the other hand is a little bit cheaper. Durability is fairly equal, T-Glase is probably a little bit stiffer and doesn’t flex as much as XT.

If you want resin i can give no information about this since i’m not into SLA printing, but as i know it is very stiff (stiffer then T-Glase) and does barely flex, it will more likely shatter into many little parts then bend.

Hi,

according to the first picture the part is made out of polyamid. Polyamid is just the chemical name for Nylon so i guess this is the intended material.

If you can give more information about the purpose of this the selection of material would be easier.

Nylon is very durable, has a smooth surface. For an strength example: i was so far not able to break Nylon filament (a cord of 1,75mm diameter) with bare hands, nor when i used pliers and a bench vice.

Nylon is also wear resistant and you can dye it with acid based colors, this material is not brittle, but provides some flexibility (not elasticity).

I offer Bridge Nylon, a premium nylon made by taulman3d.com this material is especially good for printing overhanging parts.

Are the stl files scaled in millimeters ? The larger part is ~44cm long ?

If you are interested in this or other materials (i offer 12 materials of which one will definitely fit your expectations) take a look at my hub:

Hope to hear from you,

Marius

EDIT: I’m sorry but i was wrong with food safety! The nylon that i offer is not food safe.
