I've had SLA blasters get weak with UV exposure over months that were originally impact resistant. I'd be curious to see this same test in 6mo.

Automotive clear coat protects against UV and is relatively inexpensive. Would be interesting to try if you're not keen on covering the printed parts in actual paint.

your writing of these videos has improved a lot since last year. always so cool watching people grow in a medium.

Your power to inject a massive amount of comedy into informational videos is off the charts

Here's something else that works well with resin for me. For any resin parts that rubs against other parts, coat them with some teflon dry lube. It does 2 things, lubricates and keeps the resin from powedering up from friction. Almost acts like a protective coating.

the first youtuber ive ever heard even mention tenacious d and yet it was done so smoothly that anyone who didnt know of the band wouldnt notice!

The potion seller meme....classic!

As a heads-up, DO NOT use dish gloves when messing with resin, to my understanding, the resin will permeate and eventually absorb into your skin. Use disposable exam gloves

Wow. I'm genuinely impressed by the amount of accurate resin printing knowledge on display here. I've seen a lot of very knowledgeable youtubers who specialize in FDM 3d printing tackle resin printing for an odd upload or two, and they almost invariably include a lot of incorrect, incomplete, and especially outdated information. It's great to see up-to-date, useful info reaching folks that might be brand new to resin printing as a concept.

Great video! Resin is something we've looked into a bit. For our purposes though, FDM (and getting into injection molding) is pretty hard to beat. I need to get my hands on something V4 from Slug one of these days...

I've found that Nylon, Polycarbonate and some Carbon Fiber filaments tend to be the best and most practical to 3D print for my nerf blasters. I have used resin for some parts that benefit from high dimensional accuracy like flywheel cages or even flywheels themselves before though.

It's been a while since I saw one of your videos and I forgot your absolutely insane writing style. Even though I have very little interest in blasters, it's just a joy listening to you rapid fire 60 memes per minute

Nice! I’ve been waiting for this since your comment on the sniper video. Glad to see resin can do the thing.

Those were some sexy resinlapses 🤘🤘

that potion seller bit really got me

On the bullwork it might be good to have the grips and flywheel as resin and the majority of the rest as filament. Cuts down on weight and allows a smooth operation without the flywheel housing overheating.

Reasons nobody uses resin prints for foam blasters seemed pretty obvious: lack of affordable resin printers (until recently), lack of resin printers with enough build volume.

resin is also expensive. 1kg of siraya tech blu is $50, and tenacious is nearly $70/kg. i reckon each of those blasters used at least a kilogram, possibly two or three. basic PLA and ABS average $25/kg

I've experimented with different resins for impact resistance and my favorite so far hands down is Phrozen Nylon-Green Tough resin. That stuff is flippin' amazing. Siraya Blu came in a relatively close second, but nylon green is crazy good. Kinda expensive, but not nearly as expensive as other "nylon" like resins on the market. I dyed it black before printing, increased the cure time, but should help with UV exposure.
