anyone know where we could request that anycubic make a water washable resin? I've used elegoo version but most the prints crack. The water washable resins barely dirty the iso bath so the iso lasts forever, which means we need to replace it less.

I think they have one, the eco-resin.

They released an announcement that said they will not make a water washable resin because people will flush the water down and it really isn't safe to run off into the environment. So they decided to just look past that option

They have eco resin which is said to be biodegradable. They still say to use ipa but I have heard slme people say they can use water and soap. I am very new to printing so I have yet to get a fully successful print but I was soooo close yesterday lol. (Using the eco resin)

ah, ok. i wasn't planning on washing the waste down the drain. You just get lots more life out of your ipa wash

so as I said I am still new. Just did my first print a couple days ago. But i did the max settings it said on the bottle especially for the base layers as I was having adhesion issues.
So i think it was 80s for the base and then 8..for
the rest. I believe i was printing at .05mm layer height. I can't remember all the details but again I have yet to get a fully successful print.
Had some supports fail and some missed layers leaving gaps. So still working on learning the designing and slicing.

are you using the photon validator to check and auto-fix unsupported islands? i use the auto supports in prusa slicer then export the plate with supports, Open in chitu and slice. then open the file in photon validator and auto fix... I've found that is a pretty good way to cover most bases... that's if you don't want to spend ages supporting everything individually.

i just did the auto supports for now. I will have to figure out how to even find unsupported islands
?

I really donxt know what i'm doing yet. Was just gifted the printer recently so trying to swim in the deep end here. But the eco resin was the resin I got since it's biodegradable and has less odour.

Not been able to get hold of any ipa so just rinsed my print in warm soapy water, probably not the perfect solution but works fine whilst I learn the ropes. Saw a YouTube video where they used cleaning products like Mr Clean and Mean green and seemed to work better than ipa. See if I can find the video and add a link.

I’d rather see all the companies that are making it now stop...willing to bet there’s people already washing it down drains.

I’m pretty sure it’s not water soluble anycubic said they won’t make that

You still use ipa to clean water washable resin? But why its water washable... i do t use ipa anymore...

Same can probably be said for the regular resins. Stupid is Stupid.
