Packaging is one of the parts of running a service bureau that I routinely underestimate in terms of how much time it takes me 🫠

Want to hear me yap for 7 minutes about small biz struggles? Been wanting to have more less edited posts, just no time. Thought today would be a good day. Happy thanksgiving 🦃🇨🇦

Who knew such a small hardware modification (with some expert level print settings tuning) would make such a huge difference 💪 Upgrade available on our store if you wanna upgrade your Formlabs Form 4L production throughput 🔥

I've been posting a lot of resin printing because lately have been getting a ton of that work and life has been too busy to do much else 😔 But one thing I feel strongly about is having multiple prototyping modalities so that you can do more things, faster ⚡ Here were engraving some stainless steel with a laser marking compound. Soon we'll be able to cut these stainless sheets ourselves 💪

Clear resin capsules. These are part of an assembly on a large industrial product I cannot speak about yet 🤐

@formlabs Form 4L upgrade kit run down. Get more out of your machine. Improve throughput, minimize post processing. Link in bio 🔗

My new found hobby is sanding and clear coating 🫠

Crystal clear does not equal clean isopropyl alcohol 🤓 The more you know 🧠

Happy to say, that this never happens to me ever again 😹 Take your Form 4L prints to the next level - upgrade kit on our online store 🔗

Recycling and refreshing my IPA. The only real way to recycle isopropyl alcohol. IPA cleans resin parts by two main mechanisms. Mechanical agitation and chemical solubility. The latter plays a much bigger role and is only refreshable by distillation. Hobby level filtering and curing mostly solves the former and can extend the lifetime a little bit but not effectively. Clearness of the IPA does not immediately indicate that it is "fresh" or have full cleaning power.
