This is the first time I’ve tried printing with clear resins in my DLP printer and I ended up doing three prints before I figured out the configuration and parameters needed to get a successful print. As it was, it took 13.5 hours to print and it isn’t transparent coming out of the printer. This image is of the canopy after spending about two hours wet sanding with 600 to 1500 grit paper, then moving to rubbing and polishing compound, finishing with composite headlight lens cleaner (Mother’s brand). I still have to print the frames that will sit on top of the clear glazing. That’s next. |
