Due to its hardness it can sustain straight edges and print out even the smallest parts. It exhibits low shrinkage so the print will not deform during post-curing stage making this resin a perfect choice for tools, jigs and fixtures in electronics industry.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Surface” tab_id=”1710173286273-6529780e-7796″][vc_column_text]ESD-R-100 material has a consistent surface resistivity in the range of 107 to 1010 ohm/sq. This ESD-safe resin is available in black colour. Surface is mate, almost fully opaque and hard (90 Shore D). After post-cure, print does not feel sticky or tacky.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”High Glass Transition Temperature” tab_id=”1710173288140-822ae8c0-6cf5″][vc_column_text]Printed parts have a glass transition temperature Tg of around 160℃. It is perfectly suitable for making soldering jigs and fixtures.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Moisture and Chemical Resistance” tab_id=”1710173356292-440d68b4-8c56″][vc_column_text]Water absorption is less than 0.2%. This means, that your models will not deform due to moisture or exposure to IPA. It is even resistant to some acids. Due to its resistant nature it can suit various challenging applications.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Printing Tips” tab_id=”1710173392378-355e78ba-0daa”][vc_column_text]For a successful print, we recommend:

  • Make sure that the room temperature is above 20°C
  • Level your build plate.
  • If it’s your first print with this resin, print something small first. We recommend this calibration model.
  • Find initial printing settings here: AmeraLabs resin settings.
  • Use support column thickness of 1.5-2mm, support tip thickness of 0.2-0.6mm.
  • Use attachment layer.
  • Hollow your models.
  • Mix the resin very well before use. We recommend placing the bottle in ultrasonic cleaner filled with water for 30 minutes before use.
  • Use slower lift speeds. 5mm/min for bottom layers, 40mm/min for normal layers.

If you prefer to clean with ordinary IPA baths, here is our easy 4 steps cleaning procedure:

  1. After taking your printed object off the build plate leave it submerged in the IPA bath for 10 minutes.
  2. Swirl the IPA bath with our part in it actively for another 1 minute.
  3. After swirling, leave it still, but fully submerged for another 10 minutes. At this point it would be wise to change IPA to clean one.
  4. Finally, swirl the bath actively again for 1 minute.

Evaluate cleaning results and repeat this procedure only once (if needed).

If you prefer cleaning with ultrasonic cleaner, we recommend to put a printed part into the container with IPA, close it well and put the container into the ultrasonic cleaner filled with water. Leave it for no more than 10 minutes. No additional heating is necessary.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Post Curing Procedure” tab_id=”1710173509662-193430dd-c73d”][vc_column_text]It is easier to remove supports before post-curing. However, you can also post-cure a print with supports and remove them later. Depending on the model this can help to obtain better geometries if you have such goal. Post-curing time depends on your curing station. It can vary from 5 minutes to 1 hour (until the surface of your 3D print becomes non-sticky). You should post-cure immediately after cleaning and drying. After proper post-curing surface of ESD-R-100 printed objects should be completely non-sticky and very hard to scratch.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][/vc_tta_accordion][/vc_column][/vc_row]
