Negative Space Dragon

thingiverse

Negative Space Dragon for resin printing. The dragon inside is air, which you can see through the clear resin. (Sorry the images look bad, Thingiverse made me compress the crap out of them. It looks way better IRL) Print Instructions: - Set your lift height higher than the level of resin in your vat. - Put supports in only where you can easily remove them from the bottom. - Use your normal print settings for all other aspects. Post Processing: - Clean the print throughout and remove the supports. - Make sure to get cleaning solution in the dragon thoroughly. - Let the cleaned print dry and make sure any stuck resin inside of the dragon comes out. - Cure the print. Finishing: - Wet sand thoroughly at increasing grit incriments (I used 220-320-400-600-1000-1200-1500-2000-2500) - Wash off the print and let it dry. - Use a clear coat to make the print transparent. I used 3 coats of Minwax fast-drying spray-on polyurethane. You can also use a liquid clear coat (I recommend dunking it but don't let the clear coat get in the model.)
