Ideal temperature for use
Due to the high amount of wax, Castable will solidify around 17 to 18ºC.
For use in environments below 18ºC it is necessary to heat the product to its perfect viscosity, recommending a temperature of 20ºC as optimal.
To achieve this, we can leave it for 5 hours at room temperature or place it in its packaging in a warm environment. (Without direct light and perfectly closed) for 20 minutes at a maximum of 50ºC.
Quality recommendations
To achieve optimum results in casting, a layer thickness of less than 0.05mm and a perfectly calibrated printer are recommended.
You can write to us at info@smartmaterials3d.com to get the ideal parameters for your printer and how to calibrate it.
Details for perfect printing.
On some anodized aluminium surfaces such as the Elegoo Mars printer, the wax may suffer from low adhesion, so we recommend making some changes to the support.
The raft of the supports has a large area and often pulls on the platform part.
Changing the raft height and raft thickness to 0.1mm will fix most of these problems.
