Spray to add strength to 3d Modells
Good morning legends,
quick question: Is there a spray to recommand, that adds strength to the 3D modells? Transparent, of course. Easy to apply. I couldn't find anything specific online, so I will check you guys. Thanks in advance.
Cheers,
Marc
RE: Spray to add strength to 3d Models
While this isn't exactly what you're asking about, I do use "Flex Seal Clear" liquid form (a thick syrup from a 1 qt. paint can) to line the interior of 3D printed vases. This is primarily to make them leakproof but it does add some strength as well. (There is a aerosol spray form as well, but I can't be sure it will reach the deep folds inside the vase.)
How are they failing?
Often reorienting parts on the bed to take account of anticipated stresses makes the biggest difference.
For functional parts it's usually better to add perimeters and slow down the print, often a print temperature at the top of the manufacturer's suggested range is stronger.
For miniature figurines you have the option of using a two-part resin as a pre-painting coat before spraying primer. It doesn't need to be transparent as you apply it first.
Cheerio,

Thx for the replies and the hints so far.
I was looking for a coating that adds strength. I know how to print them stronger using different settings.
If there is a spray that helps with a coating, please let me know. I know of a hammer spray in the US that adds strength. I just haven't found anything in Europe so far...
Thx & Cheers

Don't believe the advertising, there is nothing that will add magical extra strength better than careful orientation and possibly a redesign. Changing to another material or even another technology is the next option.
Cheerio,

Again, thx for the reply. And no, they are not failing. I am just looking for an easy coating to add some strength.
By the way, if you brush on "Fast Glue" or how we call it in Germany "One Second Glue", it adds alot of strength but also attacks the colour of the filament. so you need to be careful. And there are paintings in the US I have used, that can even seal cracks. So no, its not over advertised. I am just wondering if anybody has tried anything with filament surfaces and could recommand anything. Thx & Cheers
