Anyone try this yet? I have been playing with some 1 part UV Resin (plus I have normal 2 part resin) for making jewelry and so forth etc. I am wondering how well just coating a 3D print in a thin layer of resin would work. I'll have to give it a try and report back if I can stand the frustration of getting my old Solidoodle 2 to print right, or if I just dig up an old print. Biggest issue I anticipate is that the resins I use are fairly thin so I will have to work in thin layers and rotate the item the best I can to fight gravity.

Good point. I forgot that pointless drama in the Internet's #2 export. Pics of cats will always be #1.

I'll have to give the stuff a try. My prints have always come out sans gloss. It makes me envious of the Uprint at work.

In regards to the smoothing epoxy; Does anyone have an idea of it's buildup thickness? It might be nice to use, but my stuff still have to fit together predictably.

But drama on the internet is soooo amusingly pointless!
The build thickness is largely self determined with ones brushing. Its easy enough to spread a small amount around without causing problems.

You still spamming these boards with your troll posts and the bogus filastruders you make in your mom's basement that have never worked for anyone you chumped into buying one?

Do not make baseless claims.
Considering Tim's posts "trolling" is very far from the truth. He is really helpful member of the community, and several other users can attest to that.

+100

A) The Filastruder is proven to work if one were to put the time, effort, and knowledge into it. The products and service he provides is top notch. And he makes ZERO money from "trolling" on a topically selective forum.
B) Can we please have the previous comments either moved to a "hate thread" or removed? This has nothing to do with this thread...though entertaining!

Plus it'd make it easier to leave town in the middle of the night when people you've ripped off on the fillastrudle scam want their money back.

No bites on this? I thought some of you would jump all over it.

Okay, I'll bite. A gallon of epoxy resin runs around $60, or about $3 for 6 ounces vs. the $10 these guys are charging. To thin the viscosity, mix it with toluene, which runs around $30 per gallon. If the mixture is half and half, that makes 6 ounces worth about two bucks --- RETAIL. In other words, it sounds like some drunk is mixing the stuff in his basement and selling it at a 1000% markup.
