XTC-3D High Performance 3D Print Coating - 24oz. Unit

Product Information

Removing Uncured Material - Scrape as much material as possible from the surface using a scraper. Clean the residue with E-POX-EE KLEENER™ available from Smooth-On, lacquer thinner, acetone or alcohol. Follow safety warnings pertaining to solvents and provide adequate ventilation. Also for this part I printed a jig which fitted on the bottom so that could rotate the part as I coated it without getting my hands on the part itself.

The two "blobs" ringed in blue were a result of the "running problem I mentioned, now overcome. If you look at the strut on the right, at the lower left corner you will see some roughness on the edge which is a result of the scanned image.

High Performance 3D Print Coating

Extending Working Time - If left in a mixing cup with a concentrated mass, pot life will be short and material may cure in your cup due to exotherm. Important - Reduce the mass of the mixture to increase working time. Example: layer two sheets of aluminum foil together and create a single-use flat tray with vertical sides to contain the liquid resin. After mixing parts A and B, pour mixture into the aluminum foil to reduce the mass. Your working time will be significantly increased. The XTC-3D can be spread on the model with ease and the process resembles regular painting. It is diluted enough so that there is no problem with even applying it to the model, and it is dense enough that it does not drip of while painting (though in the course of drying it does a little – though only from the fragments which are at high angles towards the ground, about 75-90º). Any product that you have subsequently cut, shaped, broken or modified, unless found to be faulty or defective.

The more solvent added, the longer XTC-3D® will take to cure. Cured material will be more flexible. Hi Edel, I have used XTC but have not experienced your problem. Indeed the results have been excellent. Th eonly problem I suffered, on non horizontal surface was the coating creating "runs" and it took some practice to overcome that.Preparation – Materials should be stored and used in a room temperature environment (23°C). Elevated temperatures will reduce Pot Life. XTC-3D® Part A resin and Part B Hardener must be properly measured and thoroughly mixed to achieve full, high-strength, solid-cure properties. Adding Color - XTC-3D® can be colored with SO Strong® color tints, UVO® color pigments or ignite color pigments. Pre-mix color with Part A before combining with Part B. Measuring and Dispensing: You need to be accurate in measuring for XTC-3D to cure properly. Parts A and B can be measured by either volume or weight. Dispense proper proportions of parts A and B into clean plastic, metal or wax-free paper containers (do not use foam or glass cups). Coat any 3D Print Surface - XTC-3D® can be applied to both SLA and SLS prints. It works with PLA, ABS, Laywoo, Powder Printed Parts and other rigid media. It also can be used to coat EPS, EPDM and urethane foam as well as wood, plaster, fabric, cardboard and paper.
