Cleaned the IPA in the wash for the resin printers

Used some of the dispensable rags and getting a little dirty to use as filters for cleaning the IPA of the cured resin in the wash - worked like a charm and made it very easy to do!
Anything thats liquid can still be used to wash the resin prints - although to be fair, the stuff thats in there currently should probably be replaced since its so murky you can’t see through it anymore.


The white stuff means that the UV light was used when the wash bucket and dirty IPA was in it, which isn’t the end of the world, but does mean it creates this white stuff that then swirls around and gets caught on/in the resin prints in it! Better to have it strained out.

I have been doing some digging on how to properly dispose of this stuff still, and am currently asking more questions to waste disposal facilities - perhaps it may be needed to have a talk on changing our current methods!

I am not sure how the youtube algorithm is working but i’ve been watching alot of videos on how people will distill the alcohol which is a better way of recovering alcohol from the resin goup. The only catch is that distilling alcohol probably creates a slight fire hazard if not properly monitored. As murky as that resin is - distilling it somewhere… like… not at VHS would be a good option.

Filtering it definately helps though. A finer filter might catch more particulates though too. Thanks for doing that @Redrosesforever
