After polymerized if the resin safe for aquariums? Does it release any kind of remains from solvents or other chemicals in the mix?
Most of the informations about the Resin are available here : http://makerjuice.com/technical-documents/
There will be a new formula for the Peachy, but they stated to assume it wont be food-safe. But it might be.
I have to wonder if you intend to put fish in the aquarium when you are done using it as a reservoir? Or do you hope to make some neat fish decorations?
Maybe he will put fish on the salt water to make the printing more cool to watch! :D
hmm I hope it will be somehow food-safe. I would like to do some things for the kitchen, but i will see
Well, according to http://makerjuice.com/docs/SubG-MSDS.pdf (the safety sheet for makerjuice) putting the resin into any system with aquatic life is a bad call.
The data sheet is for the uncured resin. The cured resin, once washed thoroughly, would probably be just fine.
Since there isn't any information at all about the cured plastic can someone give me the name of the components so I can search it for myself? What is the curing agent and additives? What are the monomers?
I was wondering this also since I planned on making a lot of things for aquarium and reptile use. The only way to be truly certain is to test it out on live animals but they might not survive. Put a feeder guppy, a glass shrimp, and a snail in a small tank and test it out. You could also use the 3d printer to make a model then make a mold and cast the pieces using aquarium safe resins.
