Conjure resin settings
Conjure resin is designed for functional gadgets and miniature printing. This series has a higher viscosity compared with standard resin. Our setting aims to make the best result and request 1~2s more exposure time to let the material work better. You can reduce the exposure time base on your application. normally, miniature prints request a lower exposure time than engineering pieces. the settings also depend greatly on your printer and pre-supported file.
Conjure Rigid, Tough, and Sculpt resins are tough-like resins, which will bend slightly during post-curing when printing thin pieces. we recommend you reduce lifting speed and retract speed when the print fails.

3D Printing Workflow
Make sure to wear nitrile gloves anytime you intend to handle liquid resin.
1. Check the model
Make sure to prepare your model well, to not get a failed print, you should check the orientation, dig hole, and support settings.
CHITUBOX has some great tutorials to explain how to add support
2. Printing profile settings. (exposure time, lift speed, etc.)
Your local printing environment and resin setting greatly affect the final print quality. Conjure series resin requests a temperature of 25-30 ℃.
Conjure resin printing profile guide, Click here
You can also download the exposure test file to get the best settings for your printers. Click here
3. Check printer status before printing
3.1 Make sure your printer vat is clean,(no extra piece in the vat, or it will affect the quality and can damage your machine). there is a video by Nerdtronic Why Resin 3D Prints Fail
3.2 Make sure your plate has been levelled following the manufacturers' instructions for normal resin, it is easy to print, The Conjure series resin, especially for the sculpt resin, has a higher viscosity, you must ensure the bed has been properly levelled before printing, It shallow penetration depth makes the adhesion between layers not very strong. (For bigger printers the levelling is more important)
3.3 Adding more lifting distance and reducing the lifting speed will help to get better results.
4. Shake the resin before use
You need to shake the bottle for a few minis if your resin has not used in a long time.
5. Clean the prints
It is better to clean the resin before post-curing because the chemical reaction is not completed during the initial printing. There is uncured resin left on your prints.
We recommend using Ethanol or IPA and a painter brush (or any brush made of hair) to remove uncured resin. A wash station is a great way to clean prints well.
For some complex print, an ultrasonic cleaner is the best choice to clean it.
6. Dry and post-curing
Dry the prints before curing them, and use 395~405nm UV light for about 60s to cure them. If you need more time to cure the prints, maybe your prints have not cleaned well.
7. Surface Primer and Paint to make the prints more durable
The resin material is not that good in durability compared to the filament. The humidity and light affect it even if it is post-cured.
Advantages of surface primer:
- Colour anti-interference ability, cover the original colour of the model parts to prevent colour deviation.
- Easy to reflect the details after a surface primer base to facilitate the inspection of surface defects and textures.
- The surface primer base has stronger adhesion to the paint to prevent paint loss.
8. Frequently asked printing issue
We also write many articles on CHITUBOX website to help you understand better what printing issue you may meet, and why it happens.
