Monocure Digital Scale

With a good range of different colours and 3D Resin formulas on the market nowadays, it’s easy to see that DLP/SLA Printing is becoming quite popular, with major brands like Monocure, eSUN and others all stepping up on their ranges and enhancing their offerings with flexible, super tough and even crystal clear resins for various applications. However, if you really want to enjoy a true mastery over your DLP/SLA Printing, you need to learn how to mix and blend your own custom colours and formulas, but of course this can be extremely tricky when mixing 3D Resins and Resin Pigments without the right tools, and that’s why we’re keen to offer these awesome branded Monocure Digital Scales, for weighing and measuring resins and pigments and getting the perfect blend for whatever you’re planning on printing.

These Digital Scales from Monocure 3D are gram scales that are stocked for measuring out precise 3D Resin and Pigment volumes and weights, and this is vital if you want to not just get the right colour, but actually learn how to recreate those specific colours later on. With these scales, rather than just relying on loose estimations like “One Drop per Cup of Resin”, you can actually identify precise “recipes” for the colours and blends you want. Furthermore, it’s important to realise that these scales aren’t just for adding pigments to 3D Resins as well, and you can also choose to blend various formulas together to create a unique formula that caters to the specific needs of each print you do. As such, if you want a print that can maintain a good shape but still flex slightly when exposed to external forces, such as for wheels for little robots, you might want to mix some Monocure TUFF Resin in with the Monocure Flexible Resin. Alternatively, if you want a cost-effective print that can still withstand the force of a drop to ground, you could choose to mix some TUFF Resin in with some standard Monocure Model Resin.

These of course are just a few examples of what you can achieve when you start blending your own custom formulas, but regardless of which blends you enjoy best, having a digital scale at your side will help you get the most precise and repeatable results for whatever blends you’re making.

Please Note: This weighing scale uses two AAA Batteries as a power source, but does not include them due to shipping constraints. As such, we recommend taking a look through our AAA Batteries Range.

If you’ve just taken the exciting leap into creating your own custom colours, the following video by Monocure does an incredible job at explaining exactly how to get the precise mixtures and blends you’re looking for, with pro tips to help you get not just the results you need, but repeatable recipes that you can use over and over again when needed:

Finally, as mentioned above, this handy scale lets you mix more than just colours, and the following video (from 0:59 onwards) covers the basics on how to add durability to prints by mixing in a small amount of Flexible resin:

Within the world of SLA and DLP Printing, there are few brands who can truly stand out from the crowd with quality 3D Resins, and amongst these brands, the choice of colours, polymers and other unique characteristics are extremely limited. That was true, at least until we found Monocure, who are arguably the most impressive 3D Resin brand in the world.

Formed by chemists with a real passion for liquid polymers and UV-sensitive “plastics”, these resins have been designed, refined and perfected over the past few years to provide hobbyists and desktop fabricators with top quality resins that are not only effective, but also diverse in the ranges of different colours, types of polymers, and intended use cases.
