Pegasus PDMS replacement

[Braddock]

I can confirm that Barnes Breakable Glass silicon is a perfect alternative to Sylgard / PDMS

I printed this last night... no issues.

Where did you pick up the Barnes Breakable Glass? are you down under or did you fork over the $$$ for shipping or did you find a local supplier?

I'm not sure to whom you are asking about the Barnes Breakable Glass, but I ordered mine from Aldax in the land down under, 4 kg to have a huge reserve, and paid the US$$$$ to have it shipped. Conveniently, the US$ is a bit more valuable than the AU$ by a fair amount.

From what I've been reading, cooch, there are some B9C users who have had no clarity problems over three weeks of daily use. That alone is worthwhile, but they also report that each layer releases far more easily than PDMS.

sorry I've been off the board for ages.

I find the barnes stuff still fogs, but re-coating isnt a big deal, it's easy to mix, and I just let it set over night.

I'd say the B9 guys get less fogging for 2 reasons, one possibly that an SLA laser degrades silicone faster, but also, the B9 has a small build volume, most guys I know using them are only printing small stuff, so less layers, less foggging

Hey Paul, glad to see you on here. I'd be interested to see how resistant the Barnes material is to ghosting. If it is better than PDMS, I may have to give it a shot.
