General Repairs
It would appear that the Makerjuice resin could be used for all sorts of repairs, provided you have a UV laser pointer:- http://www.rapidonline.com/Mechanica...ce=Emailvision

Sort of like the hand-held filament extruders, although the range of resins is better than the range of easily extrudable plastics. It's a cool idea and would be handy for joining subassemblies from the Peachy.

Absolutely Slayte, you could make rather large items using this method to join prints.

And complex items too. No trouble with overhangs when you just print the overhang separately and join it later.
You could also print two rigid parts and then join them with flexible resin. If you want a door/lid/window on something that can be opened but can't be removed, this would be a good way to do it.

All exciting possibilities which you couldnt do with a hot plastic extrusion printer....... more pats on the back for Peachy. And Rapid sell the appropriate UV light:- http://www.rapidonline.com/Mechanica...-Piece-49-4460............ perhaps the beta testers could check that this UV LED light will cure Makerjuice.

is there a material where the juice doent stick to?
I thought of a frame where i can cure elastic juice to two hard parts. But for this i need a box like this:

where the box doesnt hold to strong to the resin....
Maybe a "paper"-inlay in the box?
(I hope you understand what i mean...my english could be better...)

Synchron, I just dont know....... never having used the resin, but making a hinge that way is a good idea !!! Perhaps greaseproof paper would work, or just smearing the mould with Vaseline.

yeah, a creme or something like that could work...
if the parts are not to big, it could be possible to cure the thing in one of these nail dryers like this (http://www.amazon.com/USND-3603-Prof...dp/B004WAGFQC/)

In one of the videos, Rylan shows his homemade uv curing chamber, much like that one, except he made it from uv LEDs and some junk plastic.
