So every couple months I clean my resin contaminated alcohol using alum powder (link to a video about the process)

After cleaning it I let it sit in the settling containers until I need to clean my alcohol again. At which point I swap the alcohol that was cleaned into my main wash and cure station tub and then put the dirty alcohol into the other tub I use exclusively for cleaning the alcohol.

Edit: For those curious I can share an image of what the alcohol looks like after it’s had 24 hours to settle in the settling containers.

    Resin printing remains somewhat of a mystery to me since I don’t have a resin machine and nor does anyone I know. So it’s always neat to see these insights into parts of the process and work flow I’m not familiar with.

      That’s pretty much how it was with me until I ended up being the first of my friend group to get one

      It’s been an experience for sure but it’s been a welcome learning experience

      Though if you do get one someday be sure of one thing above all else, safety first. Never slack on safety because “oh how bad could it be?” The answer is really bad.

      Also you will use a crap ton of nitrile gloves. Like an absolutely comical amount.
