Weekly Reflection
  • Personally… I really really really hated the smooth surface finishing of the FDM printout. It’s time consuming, tedious and very inefficient. I spent around 5 hours in total just constantly sanding to get a smooth finish. Why did it take so long? I have very dry fingers. Everytime I go through the passport counters, there is 80% chance that the machine won’t be able to read my fingerprints - unless I moisturise with lotion or water. My fingers really can’t recognise any bumps and all - I had to ask my other friends to feel the surface for me. I couldn’t really tell if I was sanding correctly or not. Honestly it felt like a waste of my time.
  • I didn’t really have the time that week as I had to handle other Fab Lab Bali’s project but I should have used the CNC milling on wax instead.

Safety Data Sheet

  • eSun - Water Washable Resin SDS alt text

  • Unfortunately I couldn’t find the specific data sheet for the RTS-48 Silicon Rubber. After comparing other silicon rubber molds SDS - I find that in general the precaution you want to take is make sure that you are doing your job in a well ventilated room.
