ScottsGT Posted June 16 Posted June 16 Anything someone with experience building or working with 3D printed kits? What NOT to use to clean the surface before priming? What to use? Planning on Mr. Color Primers.
Count0 Posted June 16 Posted June 16 Does it need to be primed? I don't prime anymore unless I have done major work. Idk what that print quality is but if the surface is equal to a current quality injection kit I think a light scuff with very fine sandpaper is all it would need. After it's been cleaned , of course. Otherwise I would say Mr. Surfacer. If it won't melt styrene it won't melt printing material.
HubertB Posted June 17 Posted June 17 Repeating what I said in another post: as the 3D-printing process entails a washing phase to get rid of residual resin sticking to the parts coming out of the printer, and as the wash is usually with IPA ( the alcohol, not the beer), no need to wash them again. Some new 3D- Printing resins are water-washable, but, anyway, the printing process does not use any mold release agent. Hubert 3
